The Princess of Wales has been attending Wimbledon since before she became a member of the royal family and her passion for the sport is evident through her very relatable facial expressions!
Kate, who became patron of the AELTC in 2016, has been pictured during some very tense moments at the tennis tournament over the years, as well as celebratory ones.
And the sporty Princess has also shown off her serve, playing with a number of stars in recent years, including Roger Federer and Emma Raducanu.
While it’s not known if Kate will attend the 2024 tournament amid her cancer treatment, take a look at some of HELLO!‘s favourite photos of the Princess in the gallery below…

William and Kate got to witness a particularly special moment in 2016, as Andy Murray won Wimbledon for the second time against Canada’s Milos Raonic.
The Princess sadly missed out on Andy’s historic victory in 2013 as she was heavily pregnant with Prince George at the time.

This moment in 2017 saw William and Kate rise to their feet to celebrate. The couple watched Roger Federer beat Marin Cilic in the men’s final.
The Swiss pro is a friend of the Middletons, having attended Pippa Middleton and James Matthews’ wedding in 2017 and has even given Prince George some coaching tips.
