If anyone knows how to beat the heat, it's Prince George. The 12-year-old son of the Prince and Princess of Wales kept cool while watching the Men's Final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev at Wimbledon on Sunday. 

The young prince, who joined his parents and 11-year-old sister Charlotte in the front row of the Royal Box, was pictured using a hand-held fan while he watched the players battle it out on Centre Court.

Later on Sunday, Princess Kate presented the Wimbledon men's trophy to Jannik Sinner for the second year in a row after he successfully defended his title.

Speaking after the match, Kate told the Italian player it was "really inspiring" for George and Charlotte to watch tennis played at his level.

Congratulating the sportsman on his victory, she said: "You've had such a fantastic tournament so really, really well done."

Jannik then asked George if he was still playing tennis, to which the 12-year-old confirmed: "Yeah, very much so."

A big year for Prince George

After a busy summer, including outings at Wimbledon this month and Trooping the Colour in June, George is preparing for a busy few weeks ahead. 

The prince, who is turning 13 later this month, will be heading off to study at Eton College in the autumn. 

Following in the footsteps of his father, George will be a pupil at the school which educated William and his brother the Duke of Sussex.
