All eyes are on Princess Kate as the world’s most prestigious tennis event begins tomorrow.
The Princess of Wales is reportedly “very likely” to make an appearance at the tournament, according to GB News. Though nothing is yet confirmed, the outing would mark her first public appearance since her unexpected absence at Royal Ascot.
But for Kate, Wimbledon isn’t just a royal duty — it’s a family affair.
Back in 2019, Princess Catherine and Prince William’s oldest son Prince George, now 11, enjoyed a private tennis lesson with none other than Roger Federer. And it was all thanks to his tennis-loving mum.
The session reportedly took place at the Middleton family’s Berkshire home, where the Wimbledon champion shared some early tips with the then six-year-old prince.
“At that stage it’s all about just touching the ball — it’s already good. Same with my boys,” Federer recalled, per OK! Magazine. He also revealed George may be a fan for life, joking, “I think I have a little advantage… I’m the only player he’s ever met.”
Kate, who serves as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, has long had a deep passion for the sport — something she’s passed on to her children.
George and his sister Charlotte, 10, have both been spotted courtside, while Prince Louis, 7, has yet to make his debut.
