Princess Anne, Prince Edward join hands for Commonwealth Games 2026

Princess Anne and Prince Edward have joined hands for a special event.

The Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh were spotted at the Commonwealth Games this week.

Anne, 75, and Edward, 62, were accompanied by their respective spouses as they visited sports venues in Glasgow.

The siblings were joined by their spouses, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, 71, and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, 61.

The Commonwealth Games this year are to be held for the first time since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Princess Anne and Prince Edward are in a tough spot, as one side is King Charles and loyalty to the crown, whereas the other side has their lonely brother, Andrew.

It is challenging for the late Queen's children to support the former Duke of York amid accusations and the ongoing police investigation, as he is currently living in exile at Sandringham.

It was reported that the Princess Royal made a secret call to his brother, offering him to stay with her during Christmas last year, showing that she somehow still 'cares' for her brother as any family member does for one another.

King Charles also protected Andrew on many occasions, but the seriousness of the Epstein files and the pressure that came with it left him with no choice but to take away every royal perk from the former Prince.

Royal expert Jennie Bond believes that the royal siblings must be struggling with Andrew's situation.

As per the Mirror, she said, "For Anne and Edward, it may not seem quite so clear cut. We have to presume that Andrew has protested his innocence not only publicly, but privately to his family."

"And it must be tough to look your brother in the eye and tell him that you don’t believe him," she added.
