As the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament returns, royal watchers and tennis fans alike are turning their attention to Wimbledon 2025 — and one royal in particular is drawing special interest. The Princess of Wales, a devoted tennis enthusiast, is expected to be among the most excited spectators at this year’s event.
Set to begin tomorrow, Wimbledon is more than just a sporting event for Princess Kate. A frequent visitor to Centre Court, she is often spotted in the Royal Box, cheering on her favorite players and enjoying the electric atmosphere. Her presence has become a beloved tradition in recent years.
A Meaningful Return for Princess Kate
Last year, Kate made headlines with her graceful return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. Her appearance at the men’s singles final marked only her second public outing since revealing her health battle. Joined by her daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa Matthews, the Princess was seen soaking up every moment of the thrilling match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Alcaraz’s five-set victory captivated the crowd — and Kate proudly presented him with the coveted Wimbledon trophy. After the ceremony, she introduced the young champion to Charlotte and shared a light-hearted exchange about his favorite football player, with Spain set to face England in the Euro final that same day.
A Slightly Awkward Moment in the Royal Box
While the day was mostly filled with celebration, one moment caught media attention. As Kate tried to include her sister Pippa in a conversation with Alcaraz, the tennis star was distracted by another fan in the crowd. Pippa was momentarily overlooked, but both sisters continued to smile and applaud as he made his way off the court.
Despite the minor hiccup, the royal family’s presence added a touch of elegance to an already star-studded event. Celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, and Benedict Cumberbatch were also in attendance, underscoring the tournament’s global appeal.
Anticipation Builds for Wimbledon 2025
As the tournament kicks off, speculation continues around whether Princess Kate will return to Wimbledon this year. Her love for the sport, coupled with her role as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, makes her appearance highly anticipated.
Whether she’s courtside or supporting from afar, Kate’s passion for tennis remains clear — and fans hope to see her grace Centre Court once again.
