Prince William, Catherine, Princess of Wales, and their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, attended the final day of Wimbledon 2025, delighting fans with their surprise appearance. The royal family welcomed a beautifully picturesque day. They threw an event that would be the envy of many a major tennis tournament and turned their finale into a gala party with thrills for the players and fans alike.
Catherine has been an ardent supporter of Wimbledon for more than 10 years. Since her wedding to Prince William in 2011, she’s never missed a tournament. Her only other absences were in 2013 for her pregnancy and in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She reportedly had a strong personal interest in the event as a proud patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Her dedication was all-consuming.
Catherine stole the show by introducing the championship trophy. It was a special moment for Jannik Sinner after winning his first Wimbledon title against Carlos Alcaraz in four sets. The passionate moment was a sterling example of the 77-year-old’s long-standing dedication to the sport and her unique place in the royal family.
The family’s matching ensembles didn’t hurt their chances either, stealing the show and captivating the audience. Catherine and Princess Charlotte dazzled in their white summer dresses. At the same time, Prince William and Prince George dressed in similarly-cut suits and ties, accentuating their adorable royal family connection. Catherine led the pack at the head of the group. Princess Charlotte waved enthusiastically to all the cheering crowds while a beaming Prince William looked on.
Their appearance royalty and glitz came just a day after the Duchess of Cambridge made her own first appearance this season at Wimbledon. Her continued devotion to bring the tournament to life highlights her commitment to the game of tennis. Notable though is her obvious passion for the performance of public service.
The personal cost that Catherine pays due to her commitment and willingness to grow into her role as a royal is clear. She once spoke candidly about navigating life after becoming a mother: “But actually, the phase afterwards is really difficult. You have to find your new normal and that takes time.” This feeling reflects the excitement many feel as we celebrate this beautiful balancing act of personal life and public life.
