The Princess of Wales has officially named the Royal Navy’s newest warship HMS Glasgow in a ceremony on the River Clyde.

It is the first of eight Type 26 frigates to be built by BAE Systems at its Glasgow shipbuilding facilities in Govan and Scotstoun.

Catherine, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, smashed a bottle of whisky against the hull in the traditional naming ceremony.

HMS Glasgow was laid down at BAE’s Govan yard in 2017 and launched at the end of 2022, when she was floated off a special barge into the Clyde.
