Prince William joined his wife, Kate, and two of their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday. The appearance marked a continuation of the Royal family’s presence at the tournament, which included a high-profile crowd gathered in the Royal Box.
The Royal Presence at Wimbledon
The Princess of Wales, who serves as the patron of the All England Club, attended the men’s final wearing a dress in Wimbledon green. As part of her ceremonial duties, she was scheduled to present the trophy to the winner of the match between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev. This appearance followed her attendance at the women’s final on Saturday, where she presented the trophy to winner Linda Nosková. Unlike the Sunday match, Kate attended the women’s final without other family members.
The Sunday outing marked the Princess’s third appearance at the tournament this year. Earlier in the 2026 season, she made a surprise appearance on day four to watch matches on the side courts. During that visit, she participated in the tournament’s “Overheard at Wimbledon” social media series while wearing a hidden microphone. Her role as patron has seen her become a regular fixture at the event since 2016, and since 2019, she has taken over the responsibility of presenting the trophies to the men’s champion and runner-up from the Duke of Kent.

A Star-Studded Royal Box
The Royal Box hosted a variety of dignitaries, celebrities, and former athletes for the men’s final. Notable attendees from the entertainment industry included actors Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman, and Ben Stiller. The political sphere was represented by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italy’s sports minister, Andrea Abodi.
The stands also featured several former Wimbledon champions, highlighting the tournament’s history. Those in attendance included Stefan Edberg, Lleyton Hewitt, Richard Krajicek, Jan Kodes, and Stan Smith. The Wales family arrived at the grounds ahead of the match, where they met with both players and employees of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Context of the 2026 Tournament
During the 2025 tournament, the couple and their two eldest children were present to watch Jannik Sinner defeat Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s final.
Prince George first attended the tournament in the summer of 2022 when he was eight years old. Prince Louis, currently eight, did not attend, with reports noting he is likely too young for the event.
The appearance at Wimbledon is part of a series of public engagements for the royal family. Throughout the week, the Prince and Princess of Wales maintained a busy schedule, including visits to the Evelina London Children’s Hospital and participation in the Royal Charity Polo Cup. For her appearances throughout the tournament, the Princess of Wales has been noted for her selection of attire, including a bespoke Emilia Wickstead dress for the men’s final and a Roland Mouret dress worn during her earlier attendance at the women’s final.
