Princess Kate officially named the 8,000-ton HMS Glasgow by breaking a whisky bottle during a ceremony at the Glasgow shipyard.

The vessel is the first of eight Type 26 frigates designed to protect the UK’s nuclear deterrent and aircraft carriers.

Prince William praised the ship’s advanced technology and noted its significance in supporting thousands of jobs in Scotland and the UK.

Following the ceremony, the royal couple met BAE staff and engaged in a STEM activity where Kate narrowly beat William.

It’s massive, I can see that’s where the future is going. It’s quite impressive, it’s a hell of a piece of kit – screams UK power.
— Prince William, speaking to a group of BAE staff during a reception at the HMS Glasgow naming ceremony in Glasgow
