Prince William and Princess Kate are congratulating team Great Britain.
The British royals marked the end of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris with a shoutout to their home team, in a clip introduced by Snoop Dogg and featuring David Beckham and other British figures.
"From all of us watching at home, congratulations to team GB," Kate said.
"Well done on all you've achieved. You've been an inspiration to us all," said William, debuting a new beard.
"What an incredible journey! Every athlete showed immense dedication, heart and passion. You made us all so proud!" The Prince and Princess of Wales captioned the video on social media.

Great Britain had 327 athletes compete at the Olympics. The country brought home the third-most medals, 65, behind the United States with 126 and China with 91. Great Britain's total medals include 14 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze.
Great Britain will also participate in the 2024 Paralympic Games, which kick off Aug. 28.
William and Kate did not attend the games in person, but the couple has been fairly active in recent months following the announcement of the princess' cancer diagnosis in March.
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.
