The final day of The Championships at Wimbledon brought not just the thrill of world-class tennis. It also brought a healthy dose of royal charm.<\/em><\/p>\n Catherine, Princess of Wales, is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. She arrived at SW19 on Sunday (July 12) alongside her husband, Prince William. Their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were also in attendance.<\/p>\n The royal family\u2019s arrival was met with cheers as they made their way into the grounds. Afterwards, they took their seats in the prestigious Royal Box on Centre Court. The family was out in full force to witness the highly anticipated men\u2019s singles final. In the final, world number one and defending champion Jannik Sinner successfully held onto his title. He defeated second seed Alexander Zverev 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-4.<\/p>\n Never one to disappoint on the fashion front, the Princess of Wales looked elegant in an olive green cape dress by Emilia Wickstead. It featured delicate flutter sleeves. She accessorised the look with drop earrings and brown point-toe heels.<\/p>\n Princess Charlotte, looking every bit the poised young royal, wore a sweet knee-length blue dress with capped sleeves. Meanwhile, Prince William and Prince George looked dapper in matching navy suits.<\/p>\n The family\u2019s appearance on Sunday followed Kate\u2019s solo visit the day prior (July 11), where she attended the ladies\u2019 singles final. During her Saturday visit, the Princess wore a striking red belted dress by Roland Mouret as she greeted players, officials, and volunteers. Later, the Princess presented the winner’s trophy to 21-year-old Czech star Linda Noskov\u00e1. Noskov\u00e1 claimed her first Grand Slam title against Karol\u00edna Muchov\u00e1.<\/p>\n The Waleses were in good company in the Royal Box, which was packed with a constellation of stars and dignitaries for the tournament\u2019s thrilling conclusion. Hollywood heavyweights such as Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman, Rami Malek, and Ben Stiller were spotted taking in the action. Alongside them were Vogue\u2019s Anna Wintour and actress Sienna Miller.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Following Sinner\u2019s impressive victory over Zverev, the royal family enjoyed a private and extended chat with the Italian champion inside the stadium.<\/p>\n \u201cFantastic achievement,\u201d Kate told Sinner as he clutched his golden trophy. \u201cIt\u2019s really inspiring to the children to see tennis at that level.\u201d<\/p>\n Sinner, who had a similar encounter with the royals following his win in the final last year, asked the young prince and princess how often they take to the court themselves.<\/p>\n \u201cNot every day, but weekends,\u201d Prince George shared.<\/p>\n Reflecting on the meeting, Sinner expressed his appreciation for the family\u2019s dedication to the sport. \u201cYou can really see that they love the sport,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is exactly how we feel as players on court when we see them watching tennis. Staying there for four hours under the sun with the heat, it\u2019s really nice\u2026 That\u2019s also the reason why we love to play tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\nRoyal Style at SW19<\/h3>\n
