Princess Kate Takes Centre Court to Present Wimbledon Champion with His Trophy

Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte joined Princess Kate in the Royal Box for the men’s singles final

Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte kept up one of their favorite summer traditions with another appearance at Wimbledon.

The Prince and Princess of Wales brought their two eldest children along to watch the men’s singles final on Sunday, July 12. The family — minus youngest son Prince Louis — settled into the front row of the Royal Box at Centre Court to watch Jannik Sinner claim victory over Alexander Zverev.

As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which hosts the tournament, Princess Kate carries a special responsibility each year: presenting the trophies to the finalists once the match concludes.

A Royal Arrival

Princess Kate waved to the crowd as she and her family arrived at the All England Club for the men’s final. As has become tradition, she was accompanied by her husband and their two oldest children.

A Meeting with a Wimbledon Standout

Before making her way to the Royal Box, Princess Kate stopped to greet several members of the Wimbledon staff. She also met British wildcard entrant Arthur Fery, whose surprise run through the draw carried him all the way to the semifinals — making him only the second wildcard in the history of men’s singles to reach the final four.

A Green Look for the Occasion

For the outing, the Princess of Wales chose a midi-length green dress, finishing the look with the green-and-purple pin that marks her role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

A Close Bond on Display

Princess Charlotte sat beside her mother for the match, and the pair were seen chatting and laughing together for much of the afternoon.

Wimbledon Veterans in the Making

At 12 and 11 years old respectively, Prince George and Princess Charlotte are now well accustomed to Wimbledon, having attended the tournament multiple times since each turned eight. Their younger brother, Prince Louis, who is also now eight, did not join the family this year.

Breaking the Rules to Beat the Sun

Down to Centre Court

After Sinner sealed the win in a match that stretched nearly four hours, Princess Kate made her way down to Centre Court for the trophy ceremony.
