Prince William and Kate Middleton's children Princess Charlotte and Prince George steal the show at Wimbledon 2025

Princess Kate Middleton was back at Wimbledon on July 13, for the men’s singles final, with Prince William and their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte. It was her second public engagement since announcing she was in remission from cancer treatment earlier this year.

Kate, in a short-sleeved royal blue dress with a dramatic ruffle over one shoulder, looked radiant as she served as patron of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and presented trophies to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. As she strolled to Centre Court, a fan hollered, ‘I love you, Kate!’ evoking a shy smile from the Princess, and a standing ovation.

Charlotte’s faces rate the viewer

At just 10 years old, Princess Charlotte stole the show with her prismatic on-screen reactions to the match. Dressed in a white sleeveless dress with navy trim and ruffle details, she was photographed with her hands covering her mouth and eyes popped out in surprise — an image that quickly went viral.


Charlotte’s passion for tennis seemed to mirror that of her mother’s, her youthful spirit adding a certain magic to the royal box. Her brother Prince George, 11, sported a classic navy suit, emulating Prince William’s handsome look.

Kate on mending and rebounding

During a July 2 hospital visit, Kate shared how post-treatment life is emotionally challenging. “You put on a bit of brave face, stoicism through treatment,” she told me. ‘Treatment’s over, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal’ but actually, the post period is really really hard.

‘You need to find your new normal and that’s a process,’ she went on. ’It’s a rollercoaster it’s not smooth like you think it should be.’ Her searing insights have resonated with fans, painting her interviews with pathos.

From Charlotte’s courtside tantrums to Kate’s resurgence, the royal family’s Wimbledon day was a blend of tradition, love and fashion. With Prince Louis still to arrive, it was all Charlotte’s moment – a royal rising star with charm to spare.
