The Duke and Duchess are both avid tennis fans, particularly Kate, who has visited Wimbledon since she was a young girl and has a new role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. The Duchess is a keen player herself and is a regular fixture in the royal box, as are her family, the Middletons. Every year, Kate, 35, usually attends at least one day of the summer tournament. This year she attended the opening day, where she met ball girls and ball boys before sitting down to watch an afternoon of tennis.

In a recent documentary, Prince George and Princess Charlotte's mum opened up about how tennis was very much part of her upbringing. Speaking on Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon, Kate said: "I have watched Wimbledon, that 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."
