Kate Middleton Caught Off Guard by Fan Yelling 'I Love You' at Wimbledon
Kate Middleton Caught Off Guard by Fan Yelling 'I Love You' at Wimbledon originally appeared on Parade. Kate Middleton quickly became the star of Wimbledon — and fans didn't hold back their admiration for the Princess of Wales. On Sunday, July 13, Princess Kate, 43, took to Centre Court to present trophies to the men's finalists, first-time Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner of Italy, and runner-up Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, who had won the title in both 2023 and 2024. As Kate made her way to the ceremony, a fan broke the usual hush of Centre Court, shouting, "I love you, Kate!" The princess appeared to hear the call and responded with a warm chuckle. Following the sweet moment, Kate presented the awards in her official role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club — a title she's held since 2016, passed down from Queen Elizabeth II. The Princess of Wales wasn't the only royal in attendance. She was joined by Prince William and, in a surprise appearance, their two oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. However, one royal family member was noticeably absent, 7-year-old Prince Louis. While he didn't attend in person, his parents made sure he was included in the celebrations. After the awards ceremony, the royal family met the new men's champion. During their chat, the royals asked about his post-win plans and the status of his elbow injury — but it was a sweet interaction between Sinner and Charlotte, 10, that stole the spotlight. The young royal held out three tennis balls for him to sign, and as he did, Kate told the Italian star, "Thank you so much, that's really kind." "We brought one for their brother as well," she added, with William chiming in, "Louis would be very upset otherwise," prompting laughter between the two. This isn't the first time the royal children have attended the iconic tournament. Prince George made his Wimbledon debut in 2022 just before turning 9, while Charlotte attended her first match during the 2023 men's final when she was 8. As for Louis, fans speculate that he may make his debut when he's a bit older — likely around the same age as his siblings. Kate Middleton Caught Off Guard by Fan Yelling 'I Love You' at Wimbledon first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Alabama football's best, most promising, most underrated players and more for 2025
Alabama football coach Kalen DeBoer enters his second season at the Crimson Tide helm with plenty of new faces in starting roles, beginning at the all-important quarterback position. It's a critical juncture for both coach and program, as UA comes off a 2024 failure to reach a 12-team College Football Playoff field, and its first season of four-plus losses since 2007. Who on this roster can Alabama rely on most? And who does it most need to emerge? Here's a look at some of the key players approaching fall practice, and why their performance is so important: Alabama's most valuable player: OT Kadyn Proctor Is the junior the best player on the Crimson Tide roster? I don't think so, but he's the most valuable because he's the one it can least afford to lose to an injury. Several Alabama teams in recent years have proven that an offense can't function consistently with only one high-quality offensive tackle. Lose Proctor, and it's conceivable this team won't have any. Advertisement Alabama's best senior: LB Deontae Lawson The lone returning team captain from last season, Lawson has something to prove to NFL scouts after a knee injury ended his season in Week 13 against Oklahoma. It's a lot to assume he won't have some rust to shake off, but when he's healthy, Lawson is outstanding. ROSTER UPDATES: Alabama football updates 2025 roster. Here's what you need to know LIVE UPDATES: SEC football media days: Live updates from Day 1, headlined by LSU, Ole Miss Alabama's best junior: C Parker Brailsford Entering his second year as a starter, Brailsford was highly effective as a transfer from Washington last season. He's got All-SEC potential and is a perfect fit for a Ryan Grubb offense in which he's already got game experience. Advertisement Alabama's best sophomore: WR Ryan Williams After a spectacular freshman season that could have been even better with more consistent pass protection and quarterback play, Williams' place as UA's most dynamic talent is undisputed. For his encore performance, he'll see some action in the slot position. Alabama's most improved player: DL Jeremiah Beaman Spring practice observers raved about the move Beaman made up the depth chart, and it comes none too soon. The Crimson Tide hasn't had a truly dominant interior defensive lineman since Christian Barmore in 2020. He doesn't have to be Barmore to make a big contribution, but if he were to have a true breakout season, this defense could be suffocating. Advertisement Alabama player with the most to prove: QB Ty Simpson Who else but a (presumed) new starter at quarterback who's been around for four years and four offensive coordinators? The forward to this book reads like Mac Jones' career path, but Simpson still has to write all the chapters. Runners-up to Simpson for this nod include DL James Smith, WR Jaylen Mbakwe, OT Wilkin Formby, and DE LT Overton. Alabama's most underrated player: TE Josh Cuevas Although an injury caused Cuevas to miss the back end of spring drills, those close to the program don't believe Alabama will miss a beat with Cuevas rising from third-team status in 2024 to first team in 2025. He's added some size to improve his blocking, but he's more of a downfield receiving threat than either of his predecessors, CJ Dippre and Robbie Ouzts. Advertisement Alabama's most promising transfer: LB Nikhai Hill-Green In the absence of NFL first-round draft pick Jihaad Campbell, Alabama needed a third reliable inside linebacker who can rotate with the aforementioned Lawson, and returning senior Justin Jefferson. Enter Hill-Green, who made 82 stops — 12 of them for losses — at Colorado last year. He should see plenty of action, especially on early downs. Alabama's most promising freshman: CB Dijon Lee There are few things more exciting to a defensive coordinator than a cornerback who stands 6-foot-4 and has all the quickness of a smaller guy. That's what the Crimson Tide saw in Lee, a 5-star recruit, in spring practice. Freshman QB Keelon Russell could have this distinction in time, but for immediate, 2025 impact (including on special teams), Lee is the one to watch. Tuscaloosa News sport columnist Chase Goodbread.
