The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge watched the action on day nine of the famous tennis tournament, with Kate’s mother sitting near the couple on the viewing platforms. As the Duke and Duchess peered into the courts, they turned to Carole Middleton, who playfully stuck out her tongue at her daughter and son-in-law.
Kate’s mother held a drink in a metal container and joked with the couple in the Royal Box at Center Court before breaking out in laughter.
The Duchess, 40, stunned in a blue collared dress for the second week of matches at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
She also wore a green and purple ribbon, in a nod to her role as patron of the club.
Kate became patron in 2016 and took up the mantle of the queen, who had previously held the title for more than six decades.
Kate waved to the crowds meeting in London and later blew a kiss when she sat down in the Royal Box earlier Tuesday.
The duke and duchess were joined by Kate’s parents for the match between Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, and Italian player Jannik Sinner.
They were also accompanied by comedian David Walliams and his mother.
A number of fellow Wimbledon viewers took note of their surprise to see the future king (40) and his wife at the historic tournament.
One spectator told The Independent: “It’s really nice to see the celebrities sitting next to us and watching tennis.”
Another described the “royal buzz” to this day, added by the couple’s appearance.
