King Charles passes the baton at Buckingham Palace event

Published

On March 10, 2025, King Charles III initiated the countdown to the 2026 Commonwealth Games by launching the King’s Baton Relay at Buckingham Palace. Accompanied by renowned cyclist Sir Chris Hoy, the King handed over a sustainably crafted wooden baton, symbolizing the commencement of the relay, with 500 days remaining until the Games begin.

 

Glasgow has been selected to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games, stepping in after Australia’s Victoria state withdrew. The city previously hosted the Games in 2014, and the upcoming event is scheduled from July 23 to August 2, 2026.

 

 

In a unique approach, each of the 74 participating nations and territories will have a distinct baton, each inscribed with a different word from the King’s message. This design emphasizes the values of humanity, equality, and shared destiny. Sir Chris Hoy, who secured gold medals in the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games, highlighted the event’s significance for Scotland, expressing pride in the country’s role in the Games.

The baton, made from sustainable ash, embodies the spirit of unity and collective endeavor that the Commonwealth Games represent. The relay will traverse various regions, symbolizing the interconnectedness of the Commonwealth nations and the shared anticipation for the upcoming Games.

King Charles’s participation in the baton relay launch underscores the royal family’s enduring support for the Commonwealth Games and their commitment to promoting unity and sportsmanship among member nations. The event at Buckingham Palace not only marked a significant milestone in the lead-up to the Games but also celebrated the collaborative spirit that the Commonwealth embodies.
