William then adds: “Well done on all you’ve achieved.”

Other stars appearing in the clip, included David Beckham, Jessica Ennis-Hill, Sir Chris Hoy, Dame Kelly Holmes and US athlete Michael Johnson, who has been part of the BBC’s Olympic coverage.

Snoop signs off the star-studded video by saying: “Thank you Great Britain, on behalf of Big Snoop Dogg, the Prince and his lovely wife.”

Snoop Dogg has been a regular fixture at this year’s Paris Olympics delighting crowds as he toured the various events, always dressed in some remarkable outfits.

Prince William and Kate looked equally delighted with Team GB’s performance which has the British athletes bring home a phenomenal 65 medals, including 14 golds.

The Prince of Wales, who was sporting some heavy stubble,was wearing a Team GB polo shirt, and Princess Kate opted for a French-inspired striped off-the-shoulder top.

The royal video follows King Charles who sent a message earlier to mark the end of the Paris Olympics, congratulating competitors and describing them as “an inspiration”.

The statement from Charles was released ahead of the closing ceremony in the Stade de France which is set to begin at 9pm (8pm BST).

The King’s message reads: “My wife joins me in sending our warmest congratulations to the competitors and their support teams from Team GB and across the whole Commonwealth, for their many outstanding successes at the Olympic Games in Paris.

“Your achievements, across so many disciplines, were forged from that invaluable combination of raw talent, true grit and hard toil over many years, burnished these past weeks by sportsmanship and team spirit in the finest tradition of the Games.

“To those who missed out on the greatest prizes, you have most certainly not fallen short in the pride that you, too, have generated for your nations.

“As we thank France for hosting such a wonderful tournament and look to the Paralympics ahead, I can only say that you have all been an inspiration.”

Great Britain ended the Paris Olympics with 65 medals, the same amount won at London 2012 and second-best ever tally on foreign soil, with only the United States (126) and China (91) claiming more.

But Team GB won eight fewer gold medals than in Tokyo three years ago and were 13 down on the 27 collected at Rio 2016.

A final return of 14 gold, 22 silver and 29 bronze saw Britain slip to seventh spot in the medal table, its lowest place since finishing 10th at Athens 2004, and third-best European nation behind hosts France and the Netherlands.

The Prime Minister has also congratulated Team GB’s athletes and praised them for inspiring a new generation of athletes as the Paris Olympics come to an end.

Sir Keir Starmer posted on X, formerly Twitter: “To all our incredible TeamGB athletes and support staff, well done and congratulations.

“You’re bringing home more than just medals. You’ve inspired a new generation of athletes while entertaining a nation. Thank you.”
