The Duchess was seen sweetly blowing a kiss to her parents in the royal box, and making funny facial expressions during the tournament.

Kate has previously said that watching Wimbledon was “very much part of my growing up. It’s such a quintessential part of the English summer, and I think it really inspires youngsters, myself, it inspired me, when I was younger to get involved in the game. It hasn’t changed either, I think that’s what’s so wonderful.”
