Charles congratulates Paralympics GB and Commonwealth athletes on Games success

The King has sent his “heartfelt congratulations” to Paralympics GB and Commonwealth athletes for their “numerous successes” at the Paris Games.

Charles praised the “courage, commitment and true talent” of the athletes as the Games drew to a close on Sunday.

The message, shared on the royal family’s official account on X, read: “As this wonderful summer of sport comes to a close in Paris, my wife joins me in sending our heartfelt congratulations to the Paralympian athletes from Great Britain and Northern Ireland – and from across the whole Commonwealth – for their numerous successes at this year’s Games.

“Behind every medal won lies a wonderful story of courage, commitment and true talent, matched by a determination that has taken you to the very top.

“We rejoice in your victories, while saluting and celebrating all those who have taken part, as well as thanking the support teams who play such a special part in your achievements.

“Your example has succeeded in inspiring, encouraging and lifting the hearts of all. Charles R.”

The royal account previously shared a message from the Duke of Edinburgh wishing the athletes good luck ahead of the Games last month.
