The royal family and Wimbledon go hand in hand, thanks to Kate Middleton‘s patronage of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The Princess of Wales has shared her love for the sport with Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, in recent years, but it has us wondering about Prince Louis, 7.
The youngest child in Prince William and Kate’s family has always been a showstopper. He’s wild and free-spirited — a quality we love about him. But does his personality fit within Wimbledon’s very traditional structure? Kate hasn’t been at Wimbledon yet this season, but we can take a look at Louis’ older siblings and gather what mom might be thinking.

Both Prince George and Princess Charlotte were eight years old when they attended their first match at the esteemed club. In 2022, royal fans witnessed George watched Novak Djokovic defeat Nick Kyrgios in the men’s singles final with William and Kate. He looked sharply dressed, wearing a navy blue suit, a white shirt and a matching tie. Dad appeared to be pointing out the rules of the game and George smiled broadly throughout the match.

In July 2023, it was Charlotte’s turn to make her debut and George made sure to take his younger sister under his wing. She sported a sweet, blue-and-white floral dress to watch Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in the men’s singles final. The young royal made herself at home, casually leaning back to stretch with her arms behind her head and wearing a pair of very cool pink sunglasses. Being the total pro that she is, Charlotte also made sure to wave to the fans in the crowd.
So, it’s likely that Kate and William will wait one more year until Prince Louis makes his first Wimbledon appearance, and it’s sure to be an eventful time in the stands. Jo Frost, aka the Supernanny, described the youngest royal as “a highly sensitive person” after he blew out Charlotte’s candle during the Together at Christmas concert in December 2023.
“He is elevated by high energy experiences and can sometimes get excited beyond the point that his behavior may be unpredictable,” she explained to Hello! while sharing high praise for William and Kate’s parenting skills.
“His parents navigate their son’s behavior in public settings, they balance room, holding space for Prince Louis to be himself emotionally, whilst instilling the importance of social conduct in public settings and I believe this should be recognized and complemented as many families do the same in life.”
So, we will patiently wait for Prince Louis’ Wimbledon debut in 2026 or later, unless Kate and William give royal fans a surprise this year.
