The 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham kicks off today - and the royals are set to be out in force.
Over the next week, the likes of Prince Charles and Camilla as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to take in the sporting action.
The last time the games were held in the UK was in Glasgow in 2014 - and among the royals paying a visit to them was Prince Harry.
This was before he met now-wife Meghan Markle and before a wide rift emerged between his older brother Prince William and his wife Kate.

as they watched sports including hockey and gymnastics.
And according to body language expert Judi James, the two brothers performed one telling gesture that gave away their once close bond before frostiness between them set in.
She told the Mirror: "When there are people sitting in between them, the acute, mirrored angle of lean that Harry and William perform to allow themselves to have closeness and a more intimate conversation suggests they’d be happier sitting together having playful fun.

"Kate is never seen to be left out, though. This was very much a team of three and Harry often appeared to offer Kate more moments of shared, relaxed fun and laughter than William did. He is very much the animated comic here who goes out of his way to make his brother and sister-in-law laugh."
Meanwhile, Judi also noted Harry's bright demeanour, a stark contrast to later images of him with his brother and sister-in-law - and pointed out that William and Kate were happy to indulge him in being the centre of attention.
She added: "Harry was the guy who sparkled the brightest and who made his brother less stuffy in the process. He made a cautiously self-aware Kate giggle and grin on a regular basis and he must have made royal duties a load more fun.
"Comparing Harry’s demeanour here to his recent, often dour facial expressions or the haunted eyes we saw as he quit the UK after tumbling headlong out of this sibling closeness, we can also see that the benefits of the original relationship were emphatically two-or-three-way.
"Looking at the fun, funny, naughty and animated Harry here is like a real glimpse of recent but forgotten history.
"With his brother and Kate, Harry was the centre of what looks like doting, indulgent and even in awe attention. He speaks and he showboats to entertain and amuse and William and Kate look on with utter pleasure.
"Harry appears to have been the centre of attention with William and Kate: the naughty but doted on eternal teen.
"It would be naïve to suggest there weren’t some kinds of resentments or competitive behaviours already in place by now but it looks very much as though the benefits of the relationships clearly outweighed them.
"Harry often gives the impression of feeling ‘trapped’ in the UK and having to live abroad to ‘find freedom’ and there are suggestions he felt outshone or out-ranked by his king-in-waiting brother, but these poses show the opposite.
"While Harry stands grinning happily and with his arms folded in a relaxed, high-status gestures, William is self-diminishing, standing with his hands in the self-protective fig leaf position that allows Harry to look like the star of the show."
