Australian athlete Kyle Vander Kuyp settles in at the Games Village.
His Royal Highness Prince Edward has given the Commonwealth Games Village the Royal seal of approval.
The Earl of Wessex inspected the Parkville village after arriving in Australia, early on Saturday morning.
The Games Village is getting busier by the day as more and more new residents start checking in. It will eventually be home for 6000 athletes and officials, from 71 nations.
Prince Edward was escorted around the development by Australia's former Marathon champion Steve Moneghetti, the Mayor of the Village.
"His Royal Highness was very complimentary and really keen to see the athletes and the staff which is great," said Moneghetti.
The Prince greeted athletes and volunteers before attending a ceremony to welcome teams from Ghana, Namibia and Guernsey into the Village
