Kate Middleton at Wimbledon 2025 for the final: the Princess of Wales honored Jannik Sinner: “You are an example for my children.”
After witnessing the Wimbledon 2025 women’s final yesterday, Kate Middleton also lit up the All England Lawn Tennis Club with her smile on Sunday afternoon, July 13, for the men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales wore a bright blue dress with a bow on the shoulder. She was accompanied by her husband, Prince William, and their two eldest children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George. The family arrived before the match and met the winners of the men’s doubles, Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool. Once the match was over – won by Sinner 3 sets to 1 – Kate came down to the court to award the winner.

After Jannik Sinner’s triumph in the Wimbledon 2025 final, sealing the historic day was the official award ceremony on Centre Court, where the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, personally presented the Italian tennis player with the coveted golden trophy. Smiling and excited, Kate warmly shook Sinner’s hand, congratulating him on the extraordinary feat: the first Italian in history to win men’s singles on the world’s most prestigious grass.
The moment was charged with emotion and respect: the Princess, who has been actively involved in the promotion of tennis for many years and is the patroness of the All England Club, lingered with the Italian champion even after the official ceremony, away from the cameras. In a brief but heartfelt backstage meeting, she wanted to thank Sinner not only for his sports performance, but for the positive role model he represents for the younger generation.
