The mother-of-three appeared trendy in her £1,945 white Alexander McQueen trouser suit for the event, which she first wore during the Caribbean tour earlier this year.
Meanwhile Princess Charlotte, who was wearing a £44 Rachel Riley dress, appeared delighted to be attended the contest, gesturing wildly to her parents as they sat in the stands.
Although Charlotte appeared thrilled by the action, she looked somewhat less impressed by a performance from the Commonwealth Games 2022 mascot, Perry the bull, who put on a dance for her.
Watching Perry punch the air enthusiastically, little Charlotte scrunched up her face and looked perplexed.
However, her apparent lack of enthusiasm didn’t stop the princess from picking up a teddy bear of Perry on her way home after watching the hockey.
Today’s occasion marked the first time the little Princess has joined her parents for a solo outing without one of her brothers, Prince George, eight, and Prince Louis, four.
In a cheeky display, the seven-year-old could be seen clapping along enthusiastically, sticking out her tongue and gasping at moments of action – while her mother tenderly tucked locks of her hair behind her ear which had fallen from her neat plaits.
She went on to watch a hockey match outside with her parents, before she joined them inside the Arena Birmingham where she appeared delighted to be watching the gymnastics.
The little royal is proving to be quite the sporting fan – days ago, she joined her father for a video message in sending her best wishes to the Lionesses ahead of the Euro 2022 final.

Princess Charlotte has become a favourite of royal fans thanks to her sassy personality. She has been snapped pulling funny faces, waving to photographers – and even sticking her tongue out on a family outing.
Charlotte appeared curious about her surroundings and the people around her at Birmingham University, and a little apprehensive at times, but received a reassuring arm around her shoulder or word in her ear from William, and held Kate’s hand at other moments.
The young princess revealed gymnastics was the sport she liked most and joined a nutritional workshop helping her parents place pictures of foods like nuts, bread and grapes into the right groups, whether protein, carbohydrates, antioxidants or healthy fats.
At one point Charlotte was asked to update a Team England medal board and added a bronze, won in the men’s team table tennis event, and a silver from the lawn bowls men’s pairs.
She was also taken by William and Kate to events at the Commonwealth Games and was photographed grinning during swimming heats and later joined her parents to watch a hockey match.
Tim Lawler, chief executive of Sports Aid, a partner organisation of the Team England Futures programme, hosted the royal visit at Birmingham University.
The youngster was described as a ‘charming’ young girl by Tim Lawler, chief executive of Sports Aid, a partner organisation of the Team England Futures programme, hosted the royal visit at Birmingham University.
He said: ‘I did notice the duke and the duchess, as we were trying to do, include Charlotte in the conversations – we were very mindful of that and it was really very evident the duke and duchess were doing that to, I suppose, include her and reassure her.
‘She was charming, very willing to put the medals on the medal board, and she asked the right question, which was ‘where exactly should I put this?’. It was by date and she checked.
‘She really, really loved seeing the swimming, but she’s interested in the gymnastics, and while they’re trying lots of different sports at home, I understand, when I asked her about sport she answered very easily and said ‘it’s gymnastics that I like’.’
