Kate Middleton fans all have same reaction after Wimbledon standing ovation
Kate, The Princess of Wales, was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd as she took her seat in the royal box at Wimbledon to watch the women's singles final Princess Kate, the patron of All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, graced Wimbledon's women's singles final on Saturday, July 12, marking her first appearance at the tournament this year. The Princess of Wales, an avid tennis enthusiast, was met with a standing ovation as she joined the Royal box alongside tennis greats Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova to watch Iga Swiatek's stunning 6-0 6-0 victory over Amanda Anisimova. The touching tribute to Catherine at Wimbledon was shared by TikTok user @theroyaleurope who posted: "Catherine, The Princess of Wales receives a standing ovation from the huge crowd at Wimbledon today [July 12]. The Princess looked overjoyed by the huge cheers for her today! It's so nice to finally see her at Wimbledon again today." As ever, the Princess' impeccable fashion choice impressed royal fans. Her outfit featured a crisp pale Self-Portrait dress, coupled with a chic Anya Hindmarch tote bag, Gianvito Rossi suede pumps, and complemented by delicate hoop earrings and a bow pin, signifying her patronage status. But it was Princess Kate's charmed reaction to the standing ovation that left royal fans all saying the same thing - that she will be an amazing future queen. "When she is Queen and William King, our country will be incredible!", exclaimed one enthusiast. Another admirer chimed in: "We love you and we can't wait for you to be our true Queen." A third shared: "Our future Queen right there. "She is going to be a fantastic Queen, I can't wait," said another adoring fan. With heartfelt admiration, another social media user expressed: "She is our future. I adore her,". One follower remarked simply: "I love how she still gets a little overwhelmed by the love shown to her." While someone else commented: "People, including myself, just adore her. She just brings joy." This marked Kate's first public engagement since she cancelled her appearance at Ascot last month, an event she was reportedly sorry to miss. But followers were thrilled to see her at Wimbledon, marking yet another appearance in the series of Royal events she's attended since becoming William's wife in 2011. Returning to the spotlight after suffering from cancer, Kate has been gradually resuming public duties. At Wimbledon, she was consoled by Lydia Lowe, a courageous eight year old who has faced her own health battles. The young girl, having sustained a brain injury in January 2024 that left her visually impaired and relearning basic actions like walking, talking, and eating, encouraged Kate with the words: "Don't be nervous, take deep breaths".
