The Princess of Wales has been attending Wimbledon since before she became a member of the royal family and her passion for the sport is evident through her very relatable facial expressions!

Kate, who became patron of the AELTC in 2016, has been pictured during some very tense moments at the tennis tournament over the years, as well as celebratory ones. 

And the sporty Princess has also shown off her serve, playing with a number of stars in recent years, including Roger Federer and Emma Raducanu.

A joyous moment

William and Kate got to witness a particularly special moment in 2016, as Andy Murray won Wimbledon for the second time against Canada's Milos Raonic. 

The Princess sadly missed out on Andy's historic victory in 2013 as she was heavily pregnant with Prince George at the time.
