Wimbledon has always been one of the highlights of the summer for the royal family. Avid tennis lovers include the Prince and Princess of Wales, Mike and Zara Tindall, and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
The royals have stepped out to view the action from the Royal Box over the years and we love seeing their reactions, particularly during a nail-biting match.
Kate is a big tennis fan and became patron of the AELTC in 2016 - check out her best moments from SW19 in the video below...
Prince William and Kate's eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also share their parents' passion for the sport with the young royals making their debuts in the royal box over the last couple of years.
Take a look at some of HELLO!'s favourite photos of the royals at Wimbledon…

Charlotte attended the tennis tournament for the first time in 2023 and watched a very intense final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. After Alcaraz was victorious, the young royals got to meet him behind-the-scenes, with Charlotte a little overcome with shyness.

The Princess became patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club in 2016, a patronage that was passed on to her from the late Queen. Kate has always been a regular at Wimbledon, attending as a child with the Middleton family, but now she has pride of place in the Royal Box. Kate's facial expressions are priceless, and she gets just as anxious as the rest of us!

At 2021's Wimbledon, Kate invited her dad Michael Middleton to the tournament, where they happily got caught up in a Mexican Wave as they watched Britain's Gordon Reid play against Belgium's Joachim Gerard in the final of the Gentlemen's Wheelchair Singles.

Camilla got the Wimbledon whites memo, looking chic in a summer frock and straw hat. We love those tortoiseshell sunglasses!

When she was patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Her Late Majesty had the honour of meeting the winners. Here she is presenting a trophy to British tennis player Virginia Wade after she won the women's singles in 1977.
