Instead, Prince William, 42, and his family watched all the action on TV. He said: "We were glued to it every day."
The heir was speaking yesterday as he visited a community pool in Birtley, Tyne and Wear, to highlight the Royal Foundation's work to boost access to swimming.
The pool was closed due to council budget cuts but reopened last month after raising £400,000 from crowdfunding, the Government and Sports England plus a donation from William's foundation.
The Prince met Paris swimming Olympians Adam Peaty and Tom Dean and Paralympians Maisie Summers-Newton and Louise Fiddes, who showed their medals.
