Princess Kate graced the prestigious Wimbledon Centre Court on Tuesday, securing a prime seat in the Royal Box right beside Roger Federer.

Dressed in a stylish mint green blazer, the future queen arrived just moments before the opening match of Day 2 commenced, where Federer was honored. Mirka, Federer’s wife, sat on his other side, completing the esteemed trio.

The crowd at Wimbledon showed their deep appreciation for Federer with a resounding standing ovation, joined by none other than Princess Kate herself. Meanwhile, Serena Williams, who is currently pregnant, declined an invitation to celebrate Federer’s achievements.

If you find yourself in need of directions to the All England Club or Roland Garros, worry not. Roger Federer can be your guide through the Waze app, sharing his expertise and knowledge.

On the rainy second day of the tournament, the retractable roof remained closed as Elena Rybakina faced off against her American opponent Shelby Rogers. Following tradition, Rybakina, the defending women’s champion, took the stage for the first match of the day.

Since marrying Prince William, Kate has become a familiar face at Wimbledon, regularly attending the prestigious event. In contrast, the late Queen Elizabeth II, William’s grandmother, made only a few appearances at the All England Club during her 70-year reign, with her last presence in the Royal Box dating back to 2010.

King Charles III has occasionally taken his seat in the Royal Box, but he has not done so since ascending to the throne after his mother’s passing. Queen Elizabeth’s demise in September was followed by Charles’ coronation in May.
