Their eldest son, who turns 9 on July 22, surprised sports fans as he watched the men’s singles final at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.
Dressed in his Sunday best, Prince George was on hand to see Novak Djokovic win his seventh Wimbledon title by defeating Nick Kyrgios in four sets 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7).

The royals are regulars at the annual event and were spotted watching the men’s singles quarterfinal match earlier in the week when Djokovic defeated Jannik Sinner, in addition to Cameron Norrie’s win against David Goffin.
Middleton is such an avid fan of the sport, and the annual summer competition, that she’s only missed Wimbledon twice since marrying Prince William in 2011.
The first event she missed was in 2013 when she was pregnant with Prince George, who was born weeks after the end of the summer series.
