🎾👑 A royal blush at Wimbledon! Princess Kate, a tennis devotee, was “mortified” by a playful slip-up at the iconic tournament. Imagine this: you’re casually strolling past tennis ace Tim Henman, and your dad, Michael, in a moment of excited confusion, greets him with a hearty “Hi Pete!”—mistaking him for the legendary Pete Sampras! 🤦♀️
The Princess shared this charming snippet in the 2017 BBC documentary ‘Our Wimbledon’, hosted by Sue Barker. Despite the mix-up, Kate’s love for the game hasn’t waned. Obviously, who wouldn’t feel a tad embarrassed with such a royal mix-up?
This week, she graced the Wimbledon grounds once again, skipping the Royal Box for a cosy seat beside her pal Henman on Court 18. Together, they cheered on Arthur Fery battling Otto Virtanen. Her fashion choice? A chic blue blazer and trousers, elegantly captivating as always.
Her ensemble was missing the traditional deep green and royal purple brooch, which usually signifies her role as the tournament’s patron. But even without the iconic brooch, her presence was enough to send cheers across the grounds. Fans who had queued for hours to catch a glimpse were not disappointed!
From taking on the Three Peaks Challenge to mingling with tennis royalty, Princess Kate’s Wimbledon adventures continue to captivate. So here’s to more charming royal memories on the beloved grass courts of SW19! 🎾✨
