In a surprising cameo appearance, Prince William showcased a brand new beard alongside his wife, Kate Middleton, in a video supporting the British Olympians for the Paris Olympics 2024. The Prince of Wales, sporting a regal and rugged look, joined the likes of Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, and other prominent figures from the United Kingdom in a montage video shared on social media.

In the video, Prince William was seen wearing a blue polo shirt adorned with the Olympics logo. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton, who has been reducing her public responsibilities due to ongoing cancer treatment, expressed her appreciation in a brief message, congratulating Team GB on behalf of those watching from home.

Although the royal couple did not attend the Paris games in person, they hinted at celebrating with the Olympic athletes later in the summer. Prince William and Kate Middleton, proud parents of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, were thrilled with Team GB's performance at the Olympics, where the British team secured an impressive total of 65 medals, including 14 gold.

While Prince William and Kate Middleton were absent from the games, two of Prince William's aunts, Princess Anne and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, were spotted in France to witness the historic event. Prince William's last public appearance was alongside his eldest son, Prince George, at the UEFA EURO 2024 soccer final, where Spain emerged victorious against England.

The Paris Olympics 2024 Closing Ceremony was a grand affair, starting off with a spectacular performance by a singer-songwriter, who captivated the audience with the enchanting melody of "Sous le Ciel de Paris." From there, the ceremony included various highlights, such as Team France's star swimmer carrying the torch from Paris' Jardin des Tuileries to the Stade de France, and Team USA's gold medal-winning rower and swimmer serving as the flag bearers.

One of the standout moments of the Closing Ceremony was the medal ceremony for the women's marathon, where Team Netherlands' athlete Hassan claimed the gold medal, followed by Assefa from Team Ethiopia with silver, and Team Kenya's Hellen Obiri with bronze. The ceremony also featured captivating performances, including a suspended Swiss Pianist playing "Hymn to Apollo" and a mesmerizing pyrotechnic display inside the Stade de France, illuminating the Parisian sky.

As the Paris Olympics 2024 came to a close, attention shifted to the future, with the Mayor of Los Angeles joining a gymnastics star in welcoming the Games to Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics. The Mission: Impossible star added a touch of excitement by descending into the Stade de France from the open roof and receiving the Olympic flag from Simone and Karen, symbolizing the handover to Los Angeles.

The Closing Ceremony culminated in a dazzling light show that illuminated the Parisian sky, marking the official conclusion of the 2024 Olympics and leaving a lasting impression on spectators worldwide.
