Wimbledon was particularly poignant for Kate this year as it was the first time she returned to the championships after announcing her recovery from cancer. She did attend in 2025; however, the good news hadn't been revealed to the public.

As Kate and her family entered the box, she was all smiles, wearing a beautiful Emilia Wickstead dress, which she paired with a coordinating wide-brimmed hat. 

Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte looked beautiful wearing a blue bespoke ruffle dress, which she teamed with Pretty Ballerinas ballet pumps and a Ted Baker charm bracelet.

Prince William and his lookalike son George were the image of one another, George stepping out in a smart navy suit, pale blue shirt and striped tie as he took his seat while William donned a blue suit jacket and striped tie.

Kate's double 2026 Wimbledon appearance 

Before stepping out with her family at Wimbledon this year, Kate surprised tennis fans just days after her impressive Three Peaks Challenge.

Not only did Kate break tradition with her surprise visit, but she also decided to head into Court One with British tennis champion Andy Murray, instead of heading to Centre Court and making a beeline straight for the Royal Box. 

Kate and Sir Andy settled down in regular seats to watch British sportswoman Katie Swan take on Madison Keys from the US. Sadly, Katie was knocked out of the competition by Madison following a 6-1, 6-4 loss.
