King Charles and Queen Camilla Arrive in TARDIS for Commonwealth Games

The 2026 Commonwealth Games have officially begun in Glasgow, Scotland, with the staging of the event's opening ceremony. Highlighting the pre-ceremony events at the OVO Hydro Arena, King Charles and Queen Camilla made a dramatic and unusual entrance, arriving at the venue inside a Doctor Who TARDIS.[1][2][3][4]

Following the royal arrival, the opening ceremony proceeded with the traditional parade of athletes. Leading the Australian delegation into the stadium were Nina Kennedy and Tim Hodge, who served as the nation's official flag and baton bearers for the opening festivities.[1][2][3]
