Princess Charlottejust had a royal first: her Wimbledon debut!
The young princess, 8, joined her parents,Kate MiddletonandPrince William, as well as her brother,Prince George, for the men’s finals at the famed British tennis tournament on Sunday. Her 5-year-old brother, Prince Louis, didn’t join his parents and siblings for the outing.
For the outing, both Princess Charlotte and Prince George, 9, wore blue outfits. She also brought a stylish accessory for the summer event: sunglasses! Although the royals forego sunglasses at official events, Wimbledon is often an exception, with Princess Kate often sporting sunnies at the matches.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 41, are regulars at the event — Kate is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club — and they’ve recently introduced their children to the summer staple.
Prince George attended the sporting event for the first time last year, sitting in the royal box to watch the men’s final before getting a chance to holdNovak Djokovic’s trophy.
“She really, really loved seeing the swimming, but she’s interested in the gymnastics, and while they’re trying lots of different sports at home, I understand, when I asked her about sport she answered very easily and said, ‘It’s gymnastics that I like,’ " said Tim Lawler, the chief executive of Sports Aid, according toHello!Magazine.
Kate added, “Charlotte spends most of her time upside-down, doing handstands and cartwheels,” according to theDaily Mail.
