Kate made appearances at Wimbledon last month and Trooping the Colour in June, while William made an appearance at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour with their children Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 9, in June.
The 2024 Olympics, which concluded on Sunday with the closing ceremony, were a star-studded games, with frequent sightings of celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, John Travolta, Gabrielle Union, Serena Williams, Flavor Flav, Guy Fierri, Ariana Grande and more.
Tom Cruise, H.E.R., Billie Eilish and the Red Hot Chili Peppers joined the closing ceremony festivities on Sunday, in a patriotic passing of the baton ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics four years from now.
