Wimbledon has always been one of the highlights of the summer for the royal family. Avid tennis lovers among the Firm include the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Sussex, and Cornwall’s Duchess. The royals have stepped out to view the action from the Royal Box over the years and we always love to watch their reactions, particularly during a nail-biting match!
The likes of Kate, Meghan, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have also impressed us with their courtside outfits, from Wimbledon whites to bold block-coloured ensembles.
Take a look at some of our favourite photos of the royals…
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
The Duchess became patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in 2016, patronage that the Queen passed on to her. Kate has always been a regular at Wimbledon, attending as a child with the Middleton family, but now she has pride of place in the Royal Box. Kate’s facial expressions are priceless, and she gets as anxious as the rest of us!
The mother-of-three usually attends with her husband Prince William, and the pair are often spotted having a giggle in the stands.
Zara and Mike Tindall
Zara and Mike Tindall are also regular attendees. Here they are showing their support for Andy Murray in 2013 at the men’s singles final.
The Duchess of Cornwall
Camilla got the Wimbledon whites memo, looking chic in a summer frock and straw hat. Loving tortoiseshell sunglasses!
The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex
Kate and Meghan made a joint appearance at Wimbledon in 2018, just two months after Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding. The mum-of-three looked radiant in a polka-dot Jenny Packham dress while her sister-in-law Meghan was ultra-chic in a Ralph Lauren ensemble – a crisp striped shirt and wide-legged cream trousers. Meghan carried a handbag by Altuzzara, Illesteva sunnies and a Maison Michel Panama hat.
It’s hard not to get swept up in the action!
The Countess of Wessex
Prince Edward’s wife Sophie also showed her shock and disappointment back in 2013.
Lady Gabriella Windsor and Lord Frederick Windsor
Ella and Freddie attended with their parents Prince and Princess Michael of Kent in 2018, having fun snapping photos of each other during the breaks.
Princess Eugenie
The younger of the York sisters looked pretty in pink, teaming her dress with a smart white blazer.
Princess Beatrice
Eugenie’s older sister Beatrice always looks in high spirits at Wimbledon.
Prince William
The future King couldn’t help show his anger and disappointment – we wonder what he’s like watching the footie!
Lord and Lady Frederick Windsor
Freddie and his wife Sophie Winkleman made a stylish pair, with the actress looking gorgeous in her Wimbledon whites.
Prince Charles
The first-in-line to the throne had a ball of a time with late Strictly host Bruce Forsyth and Bruce’s wife Winnie back in 2012.
The Queen
When she was the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Her Majesty had the honour of meeting the winners. Here she is presenting a trophy to British tennis player Virginia Wade after she won the women’s singles in 1977.
The Queen
Turning heads in turquoise, Her Majesty greeted British tennis player Elena Baltacha in 2010.
