It has been a busy few weeks for George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews and Sylvana Tomaselli, who made a rare public appearance together at day five of Wimbledon. The couple took their seats in the stands at the All England Club to watch the action unfold at SW19. 

The Duke of Kent's rarely-seen son, 64, looked relaxed in a tailored beige jacket layered over a crisp light blue collared shirt. He added a touch of personality with a blue floral-patterned tie, finishing the look with a pocket square and traditional tortoiseshell glasses. 

Beside him, 69-year-old Sylvana opted for a chic, colour-blocked sleeveless top featuring striking geometric panels of bright pink and vibrant orange. She completed her courtside ensemble with statement dark sunglasses and a colourful brooch. 

The couple's appearance at the tournament comes fresh off the heels of a major family milestone. On 20 June, the proud parents celebrated the wedding of their daughter, Lady Marina Windsor, to Nico Macauley

The beautiful family wedding took place at All Saints' Church in Hovingham, North Yorkshire, followed by a spectacular reception at Hovingham Hall - the family seat of the late Duchess of Kent.

Lady Marina told HELLO! afterwards: "It’s honestly been one magical, sublime dream after another, adding: "Every moment has felt as though we were in our absolute dream wedding." 

Her custom wedding dress was created by sustainable atelier designer Larissa Von Planta, paired with a veil made of antique Hapsburg lace.
