Princess Charlotte returns to Wimbledon one year after ‘cheering’ on Carlos Alcaraz

Princess Charlotte is back at Wimbledon! The 10 year old attended Sunday’s match between Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner with her parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and older brother, Prince George. 

She and her mother made a stylish pair, with Catherine wearing a sophisticated blue dress that featured a bow on her left shoulder, while Charlotte stepped out in a white frock with ruffle detailing and two braids tied with a navy bow.

This is the third consecutive year that Charlotte has watched Carlos compete in the gentlemen’s singles final. The young Princess made her Wimbledon debut in 2023, the year that the Spanish tennis player won his first Wimbledon title. After the match, which was also attended by Spain’s King Felipe, Carlos admitted that it was “really, really special” to play in front of royalty, including the Spanish monarch.

Charlotte, along with her maternal aunt Pippa Middleton, accompanied the Princess of Wales to last year’s gentlemen’s singles final. After Carlos’ victory against Novak Djokovic in 2024, Catherine introduced the Wimbledon champion to her daughter and told him that Charlotte had been “cheering you on.” She also revealed, “We’ve watched a lot on telly,” adding, “So it’s great to finally get to meet you.”

Charlotte looked like a proud daughter as her mom, who was undergoing chemotherapy treatment at the time, received a standing ovation at last year’s tournament, which marked the Princess of Wales’ second official public appearance that year. 

Catherine, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, returned to Wimbledon on Saturday for the ladies’ singles final between the United States’ Amanda Anisimova and Poland’s Iga Świątek. 

The Princess of Wales has in the past described the atmosphere at the tournament as “incredible.” In the 2017 BBC documentary Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon, Catherine 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.”
