The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made an appearance at the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Tuesday, joined by daughter Princess Charlotte, 7, for the occasion.

The royals watched swimming events at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre in Birmingham, along with Prince William's uncle Edward, Earl of Wessex, vice-patron of the Commonwealth Games Federation, and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, and children, James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor.

For the sporting day out, Duchess Kate wore a white Alexander McQueen wool suit with a white T-shirt and accessorised with a white belt, Camilla Elphick taupe and black slingback shoes, and a Mappin & Webb diamond earring and necklace set.

She wore her hair long, in loose waves, and looked animated as she watched the in-pool action.

It's been a big sporting week for Princess Charlotte, who shared a message for the England Women's Euro 2022 team ahead of their final against Germany on Sunday. The Lionesses went on to beat Germany 2-1 in extra time.

"We both want to wish the Lionesses the best of luck for tonight. You’ve done amazingly well in the competition and we are rooting for you all the way," Prince William said in a message shared on social media.

The video was filmed in a garden and Princess Charlotte said: "Good luck, I hope you win."

Prince William, who is president of The Football Association, attended the game and presented the team with their medals. He also congratulated the team, tweeting: “An incredible win @lionesses and the whole nation couldn’t be prouder of you all.

“Wonderful to see history in the making tonight at Wembley, congratulations! W.”

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
Three ways to limit your social media use

Clinical psychologist, Dr Saliha Afridi at The Lighthouse Arabia suggests three easy things you can do every day to cut back on the time you spend online.

1. Put the social media app in a folder on the second or third screen of your phone so it has to remain a conscious decision to open, rather than something your fingers gravitate towards without consideration.

2. Schedule a time to use social media instead of consistently throughout the day. I recommend setting aside certain times of the day or week when you upload pictures or share information. 

3. Take a mental snapshot rather than a photo on your phone. Instead of sharing it with your social world, try to absorb the moment, connect with your feeling, experience the moment with all five of your senses. You will have a memory of that moment more vividly and for far longer than if you take a picture of it.

Red flags
  • Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
  • Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
  • Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
  • Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
  • Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.
