Over the years, William and Kate have become regular fixtures in the Royal Box, the exclusive suites at Centre Court where the royals sit to take in the tournament.
As the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), Kate isn’t just there to enjoy the excitement of the tournament — she also has an important job to do. At the end of Wimbledon, she gets to hand out trophies to the winners, a tradition she’s upheld annually since the late Queen Elizabeth handed down the AELTC patronage to her in 2016.
From their first joint appearance at the Grand Slam tournament as newlyweds in 2011 to bringing their kids to take in the matches, here are Prince William and Kate Middleton’s cutest moments at Wimbledon.
