King Charles and Queen Camilla made a dramatic entrance at the OVO Hydro Arena in Glasgow, arriving in a Doctor Who TARDIS ahead of the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games. The royal couple's unexpected arrival in the iconic time-travelling police box set the stage for the commencement of the international sporting event.[1][2]

The ceremony officially kicks off the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. As the nations prepare to enter the arena, Nina Kennedy and Tim Hodge are set to lead the Australian delegation, serving as the country's official flag and baton bearers for the opening festivities.[2]
