The Princess then flicked up a small red 'launch' button to release a bottle of exclusive single malt whisky made by the nearby Clydeside Distillery.
The ceremonial act is said to bring good luck and fortune to the vessel and its crew.
The distillery opened its doors in 2017, the same year that the HMS Glasgow build began, marking what is considered the start of two modern icons of Glasgow's maritime heritage.
Each bottle of the whisky sold will include a donation to HMS Glasgow's chosen charity, Place2Be, of which the Princess is patron, and which supports children's mental health in the city.
On arrival at the shipyard (pictured), the Prince and Princess were met
by Jacqueline McLaren, Lord Lieutenant of Glasgow, Sir Simon Lister,

'It'a so great to see her, she's fantastic,' Kate said at first sight of the vessel.
The Princess said: 'It's a very proud
day for me to see all the hard work that's been going on behind the
scenes'
The Princess (pictured) told an employee after the ceremony: 'It's a
really proud moment for the UK but particularly, Glasgow, because
there's such international interest'

The Princess was congratulated on naming the ship and appeared relieved it had gone to plan
Stepping up onto a podium before a crowd of several hundred BAE
employees, their families and the 45-strong ship's company, Kate
(pictured centre) uttered the time-honoured words: 'I have the pleasure
to name this ship HMS Glasgow, may God bless her and all who sail on
her'
The Princess (pictured) told some employees that it must be 'great to be part of something so new and cutting edge'
The Princess was named sponsor of the 8,000-tonne warship (pictured), a
state-of-the-art Type 26 anti-submarine frigate, in June 2021 and is
said to hold 'a real interest' in the ship 'and in the lives of those
who will serve onboard'
'I have the pleasure to name this ship HMS Glasgow, may God bless her and all who sail on her'
The Princess of Wales has officially
named HMS Glasgow by smashing a bottle of local Scottish whisky against
its hull
The mother-of-three asked why whisky was used rather than champagne and
was told it was because Queen Elizabeth II had once christened a ship
with whisky from Morrison Bowmore Distillers, which the Morrison family
previously owned.

Before leaving yesterday's outing, the
Prince and Princess were given a bottle of the Clydeside Distillery
whisky. The couple visited the distillery when they were in Scotland for
Cop26 in 2021.
The Prince joked that he thought it a shame that the whisky was wasted by smashing a bottle on the ship.
Tim Morrison, the distillery founder, suggested they use a drop of cold tea instead, to much laughter.
After the ceremony, William and Kate known in Scotland as
the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, boarded the ship and met
representatives from BAE Systems, which has led the delivery of the
vessel, and others from the Royal Navy who discussed the ship's
capabilities

Kate has often drawn inspiration from Diana, subtly honouring her through her wardrobe choices
Notably, it incorporated structured shoulder pads, a signature design element that Diana frequently favoured
The naval theme served as a subtle tribute to Princess Diana, who was often seen in skirt suits with a similar flair during the 1980s and 90s.
It also incorporated structured shoulder pads, a signature design element that Diana frequently favoured.
The
subtle padding added definition and strength to the silhouette,
enhancing Kate's posture and lending the look a powerful edge.

like her mother-in-law's signature power suits, the shoulder detail
underscored both confidence and grace - qualities embodied by both women
