Kate Stuns in Navy as She Names Warship in Glasgow with William by Her Side
Prince William and Princess Kate are once again capturing hearts across the globe, this time during a special trip to Scotland where they played a key role in an important naval milestone. Kensington Palace just dropped a feel-good video of the couple at the BAE Systems shipyard in Glasgow, and let’s just say royal fans are loving every second of it.
On May 22, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the official naming ceremony for the Royal Navy’s newest ship, HMS Glasgow. Princess Kate, dressed elegantly in a navy blue outfit that had social media swooning, had the honor of christening the vessel.
In the video shared by the Palace, she stood tall and confident as she declared, “I have the pleasure to name this ship, HMS Glasgow. May God bless her and all who sail on her.” The clip was paired with a fitting message: “To HMS Glasgow, go well, fair winds and following seas.”
The ceremony wasn’t just about tradition and titles. The royal couple also spent time meeting the hardworking people behind the ship. In a post from their team, Kensington Palace shared that William and Kate were “pleased to meet with members of the Ship’s Company and their families, as well as BAE Systems’ Shipbuilding Academy apprentices and graduates, and some of the incredibly skilful teams involved in the building of the ship.”
It was a big day all around, especially for Kate, who continues to cement her role not just as a future Queen, but as someone who connects deeply with the public. Fans couldn’t stop praising her poised presence and stylish look. One admirer commented, “That woman, she is quite a lady who makes all of us proud. Some doubted her because she wasn’t born royal, but she proved them wrong. Bravo Princess Catherine.”
Another royal watcher chimed in with, “Lovely to see Princess Catherine looking so wonderful in Glasgow.”
Beyond the fashion and fanfare, moments like this show how the Prince and Princess of Wales are using their platform to highlight the work of everyday people in major national projects. The ship itself is part of the Royal Navy’s Type 26 program, meant to modernize and strengthen the UK’s maritime defence. Kate’s message wasn’t just ceremonial—it symbolised respect for the service members and the incredible craftsmanship that goes into building a state-of-the-art warship.
The video release was timed perfectly, giving royal followers a behind-the-scenes look at the couple’s trip and reinforcing their role as working royals who show up and connect. William and Kate’s continued presence at events like these sends a strong message that the monarchy is very much engaged with both tradition and the future.
As the video continues to make rounds online, so does the buzz around Princess Kate’s increasingly powerful public persona. From her heartfelt words to her effortless style, she once again proves that she’s a royal force in her own right.
