The Princess of Wales is the ship's sponsor.
A crew of 15 sailors were invited to meet Her Royal Highness on Thursday, September 29 for the first time since she was announced as the ship's sponsor in June 2021.Speaking about the momentous occasion, Warrant Officer Darran Sullivan said: “It was a huge honour to be invited to Windsor Castle and to meet Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales.
"It is clear from meeting her that she has a real interest in HMS Glasgow and in the lives of those who will serve onboard.”Petty Officer Colin Chalmers, who joined as one of HMS Glasgow’s Marine Engineers last month, added: “It was amazing meeting The Princess of Wales, particularly as there was such a small group of us in attendance.
The state-of-the-art Type 26 frigate is currently under construction at the BAE Systems shipyard in the city's Govan as part of a 'new generation' of ships, joining HMS Cardiff and HMS Belfast.Their roles are primarily for anti-submarine warfare and air defence, although they can also perform counter-terrorism missions, disaster relief, and maritime security missions.
