How Princess Kate makes Prince Louis feel included with older siblings

Kate Middleton knows just how to make her son Prince Louis part of the fun.

While Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, have attended Wimbledon matches with their parents, seven-year-old Louis has yet to make his debut. But that hasn't stopped the youngest Wales child from getting involved.

According to the Daily Mail, Princess Kate revealed during a 2023 Wimbledon appearance that Louis had been practicing his ball boy skills at home. “Louis was very upset he was coming today,” she revealed. “It’s Charlotte’s first time, George came last year. They’ve been eagerly watching.”

Kate reportedly shared with a young ball boy, Joel, that Louis had taken a special interest in copying the professionals on court.

“He tries to practise the standing and staying serious, like us,” Joel told PA News.

While they’ve taken on their father Prince Wiliam’s love for football, the Wales children share their mother’s passion for tennis. In 2019, Princess Catherine even arranged for private tennis lessons for Prince George with none other than Wimbledon champion Roger Federer.

As the prestigious tennis championship kicks off on Monday, June 30, it is yet to be confirmed whether the Prince and Princess of Wales will attend, or which of their children will join.

However, one member of the royal family made her return to the courtside after more than 20 years: Sarah Ferguson.

The Duchess of York was joined by her daughter Princess Beatrice as they watched the action from the Royal Box at SW19 on opening day.
