Prince George’s first Wimbledon match was on Sunday, and the baby royal was accompanied by Kate Middleton and Prince William.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s first-born son, who will be 9 later this month, shocked tennis fans by joining his parents on Day 14 of the outstanding athletic event in the Royal Box.
In a sharp suit, Prince George could be seen watching the action with lively facial expressions as Kate and William watched in obvious delight. Regulars at the yearly bouts, the proud parents seemed to exchange personal stories with George while watching the game.

Just one day after Kate attended to see the women’s winner, the family ventured outside to watch the men’s final between Nick Kyrgios and the defending champion Novak Djokovic at the renowned London tennis tournament.
Djokovic let the young player hold the precious trophy following his victory in the match on Sunday afternoon (4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (3)). Prince William chuckled, “Don’t drop it. After carefully relieving Prince George of his responsibilities and returning the trophy to the victor, Kate touched the object Djokovic had earlier kissed.
"Don't drop it!" 😅

In a navy blue and white dress to support the team on Sunday, Kate demonstrated her love of polka dots. William chose to pair his jacket with a light blue shirt.
Kate Middleton is a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and frequently attends matches from the Royal Box. She and William have a tennis court at their country estate, Anmer Hall.
The royal couple is participating in Wimbledon for the second time this season. They became animated on Tuesday as they watched the men’s singles quarterfinal match between Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and Italy’s Jannik Sinner as well as Cameron Norrie’s battle against Belgium’s David Goffin.

Kate also made care to address her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who were in the audience. Just as Kate took her place in the front row, she waved and graciously blew them a kiss from her position a few rows back.
The green and a purple bow tie pin, which denoted Kate’s role as a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, served as the last touch to her attire.
Only a select few individuals, including the club’s president, the committee of management, vice presidents, and four members of executive staff, are allowed to wear the bow. The club’s official colors are dark green and purple.
