Kate Middleton and Prince William’s family are showing off their England pride.
After the country’s soccer team was defeated by Spain in the European 2024 Championship July 14, the royals—who share Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—posted a photo of their younger children watching the historic game unfold.
“@England, your teamwork, grit and determination is an inspiration for all of us, young and old,” Kate and William shared on their Instagram July 14, alongside a photo of Charlotte and Louis in matching personalized England jerseys. “Congratulations to Spain. W & C.”
The family’s sign of good sportsmanship comes shortly after Kate made a rare appearance alongside her sister Pippa Middleton and Charlotte at the Wimbledon tennis tournament in London July 14.
The 42-year-old was all smiles in a bright purple Safiyaa dress, and received a standing ovation from other spectators as she continues to undergo treatment for an unspecified cancer diagnosis—which she first opened up about in March.
The Princess of Wales later showed off highlights from her trip to the tennis tournament on Instagram. In a video reel, she showed herself and Charlotte—who wore a short navy blue polka dot dress with a matching bow—watching the match and greeting players and staff at the event.
“Congratulations @carlitosalcarazz on your remarkable victory,” she later wrote on Instagram, noting the winner of the men’s singles tournament. “Thank you to everyone who works so hard to make @Wimbledon the spectacle that it is.”
The trip to Wimbledon marked Kate’s second big appearance since opening up about her health battle. Last month, she appeared alongside her entire family for the 2024 Trooping the Colour parade and ceremony in celebration of King Charles III’s birthday.
Ahead of her highly anticipated appearance, Kate also shared an update on her health journey, emphasizing that while she plans to make a “few” public appearances this summer, she is not entirely “out of the woods” with her treatment.
“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty,” she wrote in a June 14 Instagram message. “Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
This past weekend proved to include a very good day for the princess and her family. Keep reading to see the highlights from Kate’s trip to Wimbledon.
