Prince George watched his first ever Wimbledon match and Novak Djokovic’s daughter waved at her father as he celebrated winning the championship. Sitting in the royal box with his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, George turned to his father to say he was “too hot”. Royal expert Neil Sean explained Willem said George could take off his coat, but he “refused”.
On his YouTube channel, he said: “Prince William allowed the fact that he wanted to allow his eldest son Prince George to take off his coat, but he wouldn’t.
“He liked to follow what his father is doing.
“To anyone who says it’s unfair, he’s an eight-year-old boy.
“This is tradition. George will have to get used to this.

“He represents our monarch, even at this very young age, but more importantly, what all the little boys want to do, he wanted to be like his father and keep his jacket on.
“Obviously when he got in the car it was a little different.”
After leaving Center Court, the Wimbledon champion stopped to chat with Prince George and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Djokovic was taken to a VIP area of the All England Club where he handed the men’s trophy to eight-year-old George to hold.
Kate, who is a patroness of the All England Club, explained to George what the military personnel do, saying: “They look after everyone to make sure the crowd is safe and happy, doing the right thing, in the right seats, making sure ensure the grounds are safe.”
When asked if George was coming to Wimbledon, she said to him, “Is this your first time? It is, isn’t it?” to which he replied “Yes”.
When asked why Charlotte wasn’t there, she said, “It’s George’s treat today.”
George was also asked who he would support and seemed too shy to answer, so William looked at him and whispered “Djokovic” before adding, “We’ll see how long it takes. He will support the winner.”
