Prince George and Charlotte Looking Like 'Alcaraz Warriors' Goes Viral

Prince George and Princess Charlotte, looking disappointed at the outcome of the Wimbledon tennis final, went viral on TikTok.
George and Charlotte joined their parents, Princess Kate and Prince William, to watch Carlos Alcaraz take on Jannik Sinner in the men's singles final.
Alcaraz lost in four sets, and royal watchers joked that it looked like George and Charlotte were upset at the outcome based on their body language on center court and during the post-match meet-and-greet.
It is, of course, entirely possible that they were simply wilting in the heat, as Charlotte was seen fanning herself during the match and George was wearing a suit jacket and tie.

Why It Matters
Prince Louis is usually the royal who generates viral social media content at public events, but George's body language in particular sparked a flurry of light-hearted jokes and memes.
One video of the brother and sister posted on X that was viewed 5.7 million times and liked 14,000 times, included the message: "This is sending me they are not even hiding it."
The clip was then quoted in another post, which read: "The royal children being Alcaraz warriors is frying me."
That post was in turn viewed 2.6 million times and liked 57,000 times.
What To Know
The clip begins with footage of George and Charlotte standing by their seats on Center Court, before cutting to a later clip of the royal siblings with their mother and Sinner after the game.
"It was a fantastic thing to watch for us and seriously inspiring," Kate told the new Wimbledon champion.
George, who turns 12 next week, and Charlotte, 10, may not have seemed their usual, smiling, animated selves, but it was also a hot day with temperatures in the high 20s Celsius (high 70s, low 80s Fahrenheit). A certain amount of debate around the royals is perhaps inevitable.

Lewis Hamilton Reportedly Dating British Pop Singer From 'F1' Movie
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ferrari Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton has been rumored to be dating British pop singer Raye, who worked with him for the 'F1' movie. Raye was spotted in the Ferrari garage during the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, supporting Hamilton during his first home race with the Maranello-based team. Hamilton has reportedly dated several popular personalities throughout his F1 career thus far, such as Hips Don't Lie artist Shakira in 2023. Early this year, Hamilton was spotted having lunch with Colombian actress Sofia Vergara in New York, and now, a report by Planet F1 has linked the 40-year-old driver to Raye. Originally named Rachel Keen, the 27-year-old singer performed on stage at Silverstone, earning praise from Hamilton. Raye also composed a track for the 'F1' movie, which was co-produced by the seven-time world champion. Raye was present for the F1 season opener in Melbourne in March, cheering for Hamilton. Speaking to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle before the race, she said: Fourth placed qualifier Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari is interviewed during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Austria at Red Bull Ring on June 28, 2025 in Spielberg, Austria. Fourth placed qualifier Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Scuderia Ferrari is interviewed during qualifying ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Austria at Red Bull Ring on June 28, 2025 in Spielberg, Austria."Team Lewis! We couldn't miss this moment. "This is electric. The first black man in red, we're so proud to see it." When asked if she was in touch with Hamilton throughout the race weekend, she said: "Yeah, no. He's had to really get in his zone. "We're just here to support and I'm so grateful I get to be here to witness this moment." Months later, Raye's performance impressed Hamilton after the British GP qualifying session. Speaking to the media, he said: "Raye is the first concert I've been to after a race and she was great. She was the first concert I've been to at Silverstone actually. So it was great to see her, wasn't it? "It's so great that acts can come here now. When I was watching last night I was like it's incredible to perform here the crowd were great." RAYE IN THE FERRARI GARAGE WITH ANTHONY HAMILTON ❤️ — sim (@simsgazette) March 14, 2025 Hamilton's P4 finish at Silverstone was his best result thus far with Ferrari. The last stage of the race saw him battle with Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg for P3, who surprisingly held his ground and secured his first F1 podium. Given the spell of rain and the poor visibility that followed, Hamilton revealed that his Ferrari SF-25 was a tricky machine to drive in those conditions. He said: "[It was a] difficult race, not a great one from my side. I did the best I could. "As it showed there was plenty of mistakes out there and very, very tricky conditions, in really a very, very hard car to drive here – this car doesn't like those conditions. Not ideal, but we got some points at least."
