Princess of Wales tries to introduce Pippa to Alcaraz

It was a special day for the Princess of Wales at Wimbledon as she made just her second public appearance since revealing her cancer diagnosis.

Kate paid a visit to the All England Club yesterday to watch the men’s final, which saw Carlos Alcaraz crowned champion after a thrilling victory over Novak Djokovic. Joining Kate for the day was her daughter Princess Charlotte as well as her sister Pippa Matthews, who is also a regular at SW19.

Pippa sat alongside her sister and niece in the Royal Box and watched as the princess presented Alcaraz with his trophy after the match. Once completing his on-court celebrations, the Spaniard got another chance to chat with Kate as members of the All England Club came out to congratulate the champion.

During their chat, Kate introduced him to Charlotte before asking him who his favourite football player was ahead of Spain’s Euros final victory against England. But there appeared to be an awkward moment as Pippa tried to take the opportunity to chat with Alcaraz but he accidentally ignored her.

It came as Kate wrapped up her chat with two-time Wimbledon champion and told him to enjoy his win. Pippa, who was standing a step back from her sister and niece, then gestured forward as if to congratulate him – with Kate also trying to attract his attention towards his sister.

But at the exact same moment, someone in the crowd to the side grabs Alcaraz’s attention and he unintentionally ignores them. After being left hanging for a second, the two women then begin to applaud as he walks off towards the locker room with his trophy.

It came after Kate and Charlotte were greeted with cheers and applause as they took their seats in the front row of the royal box at Centre Court. Actors Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch and Julia Roberts were among the other famous faces in the royal box for Sunday’s finale.

While meeting the players beforehand, Kate said Charlotte, who was wearing a navy polka dot dress, had been “practicing yesterday” and that tennis was “really great for the youngsters”. Kate said she had been “filling in the leaderboard with Charlotte during Wimbledon, adding: “As a family, we play a lot.”
