Prince William and Kate Middleton turned the Wimbledon Tennis Championships into a family outing.

The Prince and Princess of Wales brought their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to the men’s singles final in London on Sunday afternoon.

The family was all smiles as they made their way into the stadium, with George, 12, walking closely to his mom, and Charlotte, 11, chatting with the patriarch.

They walked to the royal box and received a standing ovation from attendees, including Andrew Garfield, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Hiddleston and Anna Wintour.

The royals were photographed attentively watching the game. However, the couple’s youngest son, Prince Louis, 7, notably didn’t attend.

At one point, Charlotte beamed while chatting with Middleton, 44, as the latter pointed to the court. The matriarch later tenderly touched her daughter’s face and smiled.

Middleton and William brought their son George to his first Wimbledon match for the men’s singles final in 2022.

At the time, the young royal was 9 years old, the same age William had attended his first game with his late mother Princess Diana in 1991.

The following year, Charlotte made her debut in the royal box alongside her older brother and mom.
