Kate Middleton attends Wimbledon final with Prince George

Prince George put on an animated display at Wimbledon with his parents as he watched Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios battle it out on Centre Court in the Wimbledon’s Men’s Singles final.

The young royal, eight, was seen hiding his face, laughing and wincing as he watched the action unfold on the pitch. 

He was filmed arriving at the club earlier today, before he was lead inside by his mother Kate Middleton, 40. 

The father-of-three gave his eldest a big hug and a kiss on the cheek as they saw each other. 

Today’s Men’s Single final saw Novak Djokovic win over Australia’s Kyrgios in a highly emotional match, with the Serbian ace clutching his 21st Grand Slam title. 

The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, wore a £1,335 navy polka dot dress from Alessandra Rich as she made her third appearance at the tournament this week, as she and Prince William arrived with Prince George, to watch the nail-biting final from the Royal Box.

Watching from the Royal Box’s front row, sat between his parents, the young Prince was completely sucked into the performance put out by the two aces this afternoon.  

Today was a big day for George, who is an avid tennis fan just like his mother, and once trained with Roger Federer. 

The young Prince arrived at the club with his mother Kate Middleton this morning. 

There, the pair met Wimbledon’s chairman Ian Hewitt, who shook George’s hand, before the youngster was reunited with his father Prince William, 40, who was waiting further inside.

Mr Hewitt personally escorted the family to a secluded area, as they waited to take their seats in the Royal Box, meeting with officials and young Wimbledon staff on the way.

Speaking of their practice session together at the time, Federer said: ‘When questioned by reporters about his knockabout with George, Federer said: ‘At that stage it’s all about just touch the ball, it’s already good.’

Back in 2016, when he was only four years old, doting mother Kate hinted that Prince George could be a future Wimbledon star when she revealed that he had a racket and was already playing tennis. 

She told Briton Greg Rusedski, who was in the men’s invitational doubles, that George has already taken an interest in the game, despite being just two years old.

Rusedski said after meeting her: ‘She talked about George, her little boy, playing tennis.’

Asked what she said, Rusedski said: ‘He’s got a racket and he enjoys playing tennis, and obviously she plays with William…’

She paired it with £540 bi-colour slip-on stilettos in beige and white, also by the beloved designer.

She sported natural makeup with just a dash of bronzer and some mascara, and completed the look wearing discreet jewellery, with silver drop earrings. 

Meanwhile, Prince George, dressed in a blue blazer, looked excited to watch the game, having accompanied his parents.

It comes amid a happy period for Kate and her family as earlier today a source confirmed her sister Pippa is ‘heavily pregnant’ with her third child – and is moving to a £15million family home in Berkshire.

Pippa, 38, already has two children with her husband James Matthews: Arthur, three, and Grace, one.

It has been widely rumoured that she is pregnant again, after she arrived at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June appearing to sport a bump.

Now, a source has confirmed Pippa and James are ‘thrilled’ by news of the new arrival.

‘Pippa and her family are thrilled,’ a friend confirmed to Daily Mail’s Richard Eden. ‘It’s a very exciting time in their lives.’

Meanwhile, Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton are understood to be examining plans to create an annexe at the manor house in the village of Bucklebury that they bought for £4.7 million a decade ago.

‘Bucklebury has housed a good number of refugees and Carole has been getting advice from villagers and seeking information about how the process has worked for others in the area,’ said a source.

Neighbours who have already provided sanctuary include broadcaster Chris Tarrant and Tory politician Lord Benyon, a friend of the Middletons who recently held a fundraising event for refugees at his stately home.

Kate’s bow – what is the meaning behind the Duchess of Cambridge’s favourite Wimbledon accessory? 

Avid royal fans may have noticed Kate Middleton wearing her favourite green an purple bow over the years.

But even the keenest of fans may not realise that the royal’s go-to Wimbledon accessory is actually a symbol of royal patronage, gifted to her from the Queen.

In 2016 the Duchess of Cambridge took over the role of patron ot the All England Croquet Club from the Queen.

The green and purple bow is worn by members of the Committee of Management during the Fortnight – the Main Board of the AELTC and representatives of the LTA. It signifies their responsibilities as the Committee governing the tournament.

The Patron has always traditionally been given a Committee bow in recognition of her role, which is why the Duchess has chosen to wear it when visiting The Championships.

The colours of dark green and purple were introduced in 1909 as the club’s previous colours, blue, yellow, red and green, were too similar to those of the Royal Marines.

The Patron has always traditionally been given a Committee bow in recognition of her role, which is why the Duchess chooses to wear it while visiting Wimbledon.

The source added: ‘Carole talked about wanting refugees to feel they have their own space in her home and has been talking about the logistics of how it all works. There have been a few conversations about this, back and forth.

‘Carole suggested she and some of those who are housing refugees should meet up, to get to know each other and because she wants to find a way to house refugees herself. She’s very philanthropic and wants to be known for her charitable nature as well as her business.’

It is thought one option under consideration is to convert a living room at seven-bedroom Bucklebury Manor into separate accommodation for a family fleeing Ukraine.

There are, however, issues around security still to consider, given the regular visits to the property by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
