The royal family, which includes 12-year-old Prince George and 11-year-old Princess Charlotte, was spotted enjoying the highlights of the tournament at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. This outing continues a summer tradition as they support the sport and partake in the excitement of one of the most celebrated events in the tennis calendar.
Princess Charlotte and Prince George have become familiar faces at Wimbledon, having accompanied their parents to several matches in recent years. This year, they were excited to see Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner vying for a repeat championship victory against German player Alexander Zverev, following his win in 2025.
Dressed impeccably for the occasion, Kate Middleton donned a bespoke sage green dress designed by Emilia Wickstead, while Princess Charlotte wore a charming royal blue sundress reminiscent of her mother’s attire from the previous year’s final. Both Prince William and Prince George matched in elegant dark blue suits and ties, embodying the formal spirit of the event.
As the patron of the club, Catherine has the honour of presenting awards at Wimbledon. She has been taking her children to the tournament since 2022, when an eight-year-old Prince George experienced his first men’s singles final alongside his parents. The family tradition continued the following summer when Princess Charlotte attended the event for the first time at the same age, enthusiastically supporting Carlos Alcaraz during his triumphant win.
The royal family’s history at Wimbledon also includes poignant moments. In July 2024, Princess Charlotte had a memorable day out with her mother and aunt Pippa during the men’s singles final, where Kate received a heartfelt standing ovation. This appearance was particularly significant, being one of her first public outings after announcing her battle with cancer earlier that year. The love and support from the crowd were evident, and it was a touching moment for both mother and daughter.
Last summer saw the entire family reunite for another day at Wimbledon, where they enjoyed the matches together and took home signed tennis balls as special souvenirs from Sinner. Their significant encounter with the champion took place after the match, highlighting the enthusiasm surrounding the event.
In a light-hearted moment, Kate explained the need for a tennis ball for Prince Louis, ensuring he didn’t feel left out from the family day out. Prince William chimed in, commenting that Louis would have been very upset otherwise, which brought a shared laugh between the parents.
As Wimbledon continues to be a cherished tradition for the royal family, the public remains captivated by their outings. The bright presence of Prince George and Princess Charlotte has added a lively dimension to the event, as does their enthusiastic support for the sport and their interactions with fellow spectators.
The Royal Box has played host to various notable figures over the years, and the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales only adds to its allure. Their participation in such prestigious events signifies both a commitment to British traditions and a familial approach to enjoying the best of what the nation has to offer.
With the conclusion of this year’s men’s singles final, anticipation will undoubtedly build for next year’s championships—whenever they may attend again, it will surely be a much-anticipated occasion for fans of the royals and tennis alike.
