Kate Middleton was seen grinning and waving at the crowds today as she enjoyed watching the Wimbledon Women’s singles final.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who is patron of the All England Club, looked all summery in a Roksanda dress as she greeted junior tennis players and staff.
She watched the match from the Royal Box at Centre Court which was won by Elena Rybakina.
Actors Jodie Comer, Tom Cruise and Dame Maggie Smith, joined Kate in the Royal Box.
As patron, Kate presented trophies to both both the winner and runner-up in a ceremony on Centre Court after the match.
On the prospect of meeting Kate before she played the match, Rybakina said: ‘It’s an honour and I’m going to be very excited for this moment no matter if I win or lose. I think it’s just something to remember and it’s going to be amazing.’
The Duchess also spoke to Great Britain’s Isabelle Britton, 14, and the USA’s Carel Ngounoue, 13, who are semi-finalists in the inaugural 14 and under junior championships.
The group talked about British number one Cameron Norrie’s loss in the semi-final on Friday, with Kate saying: ‘He had such a good game, he really did.’
Kate congratulated the pair for playing at Wimbledon and they talked with the Duchess about their experience playing.
Carel said: ‘She asked us how our experience was here and if we’re hoping to play here when we get older – like the actual competition.
‘It’s definitely an honour to meet her, it’s great to have this opportunity to meet someone so important.’
Isabelle said: ‘She was saying that it was good that we were getting this far, that it’s a really good experience for the future as well.’
