The message was signed off with their initials "W & C", indicating it's come directly from the Prince and Princess of Wales as opposed to their team.

Ahead of the Olympic closing ceremony earlier this month, the couple recorded a video message pulling in superstars including Snoop Dogg to help them congratulate Team GB on a wonderful effort at the Games.
