Princess Catherine shares heartwarming moment with Princess Charlotte as Wales' step out at Wimbledon for men's final
The Princess of Wales, 43, wowed Centre Court in a royal blue dress for the annual trophy presentation at the tournament in London on Monday.
Kate handed Jannik Sinner the winner's trophy and congratulated the 23-year-old Italian on his four-set victory against Carlos Alcaraz of Spain.
The win marks Jannik's first Wimbledon title of his career and signifies a hard-fought comeback.
Just five weeks ago, the Italian star suffered a five-set loss to Alcaraz at the Roland Garros final despite having three championship points.
Catherine arrived in the Royal Box with her husband, Prince William, their eldest son, Prince George, 11, and their daughter, Princess Charlotte, nine.
Youngest son Prince Louis, seven, who is known for his cheeky antics at sporting events including pulling hilarious faces, stayed home.
George looked dapper in a dark navy suit, blue shirt and striped tie, while William sported a dark jacket and white pants.
Kate and Charlotte, who looked very pretty in her Sunday best, were spotted exchanging sweet looks as they took their seats in the stand.
In the endearing moment, the look-alike mother-daughter duo smiled at each other before leaning closer to talk throughout the match.
Charlotte beamed and cheered as she watched the players vie for the prestigious title and, at one point, gasped while a nail-biting point played out.
The young royal and Catherine later looked more alike than ever as they cooled themselves with matching slatted hand fans during the 27C day.
Kate, who has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, once again sported her committee bow featuring the Wimbledon colours of dark green and purple.
She has donned the bow at the tennis event since 2017 after taking over the reins as patron from the late Queen Elizabeth II the year prior.
Catherine continued championing the event after the trophy presentation, taking to X to congratulate Sinner on his first Wimbledon title.
"What a final! An amazing performance from both players. Well done @janniksin on your first @Wimbledon Championship!" she wrote.
It comes after Kate was on Sunday greeted with a standing ovation as she took her seat in the royal box at the women's final, where she watched Iga Swiatek's stunning 6-0, 6-0 defeat over Amanda Anisimova.
She stunned in a cream Self-Portrait dress, which she paired with an Anya Hindmarch bag, Gianvito Rossi beige suede heels and elegant gold hoops.
The women's final marked Catherine's first public engagement since she cancelled her appearance at Royal Ascot in June as she recovers from cancer.
Kensington Palace confirmed Catherine would no longer be attending the prestigious racing meet at the last minute.
It's understood while Catherine was "disappointed" to have missed the event, her withdrawal ensured she continued to strike the "right balance" as she gradually returns to public life following her diagnosis in March 2024.

Kourtney Kardashian shuts down pregnancy rumours
Kourtney Kardashian has shut down rumours she's pregnant. The 46-year-old Poosh founder has been inundated with comments about her looking pregnant in her holiday pictures from Portofino, Italy. In response, Kourtney insisted she is simply indulging in Italian cuisine and is still breastfeeding her 20-month-old son Rocky - whom she has with husband Travis Barker. One user commented on the Instagram carousel she posted from the vacation: "You can tell from the bikini reflection photo Kourtney is pregnant again." The Kardashians star - who also has Mason, 15, Penelope, 13, and 10-year-old Reign with ex-partner Scott Disick - replied: 'Or breastfeeding, eating gelato, focaccia, pasta, not working out and living my best damn life baby!' Travis is also dad to Landon, 21, Alabama, 19, and stepdaughter Atiana, 26, from his marriage to Shanna Moakler. And, Kourtney recently said she believes their blended family has given them a "deeper" existence. Appearing on her sister Khloe Kardashian's Khloe in Wonder Land podcast, she said: 'I love my role as stepmom, because I don't feel like its up to me to discipline. 'We've kind of allowed each other to—we'll talk about it, he can handle the harder things. I definitely give advice or try to be a good role model. 'Some days I've thought like, 'Wow, this is really hard blending families.' But even in the days that are hard, there's so much more love. It's such a deeper, richer existence.'

Yoshinobu justifies Annabel Archibald investment with impressive first-up victory at Rosehill
Trainer Annabel Archibald was a happy person after Yoshinobu delivered a first-up win in the Benchmark 78 Handicap at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. Yoshinobu, a stakes-placed three-year-old, was sold on the Inglis Digital online platform in April for $180,000 and Archibald convinced existing stable clients to purchase the son of Written Tycoon. 'I slightly put my neck on the line because he went online and I persuaded OTI (Racing) to try and buy him and quite a few of the owners retained ownership in him as well,' Archibald, who trains in partnership with her husband Rob, said. 'He was always a bit of a quirky colt, but we knew he had good ability.' Yoshinobu quickly wiped $102,500 off his purchase price for the new and existing owners when coming from back in the field to burst thought the ruck and claim the 1200m contest, his third win from nine starts. 'I think he's a quality horse,' winning rider Tom Sherry said. 'Began nicely and there was a good bit of speed early so we got him into a rhythm, travelled beautifully throughout. 'He picked up quite sharply, the runs opened up and he was tough late.' Yoshinobu ($6) defeated the fast-finishing Iron Man ($10) by a neck with 1¾ lengths back to Spywire ($2.80 fav) in third after being forced to cover plenty of ground, three wide throughout. 'I actually thought we'd be closer in the run today because he's such a big striding horse, but it was a good ride from Tom,' Archibald said. 'It was good to see him show a turn of foot. 'He was a bit green late and for a stride I thought he might throw it away, but I think he was surging again at the line if anything.' Yoshinobu strikes first up at Rosehill with a strong performance! ðŸ'° @tomo_sherry @ANeashamRacing @OTIRacing @aus_turf_club â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 19, 2025 • Without Peer defies odds with stunning debut win There are no ambitious plans in the short term for Yoshinobu, which placed behind Group 1 winner Switzerland in the Roman Consul Stakes earlier in the season, with Archibald content to allow the gelding to chase more benchmark race wins. 'He's a talented horse I think it he will continue to progress as he continues to learn his craft,' she said. 'I'm not going to throw him into the deep end yet, he's still only lightly raced so we'll just let him go through his grades and see where it takes us.' Meanwhile, 40 minutes later punters were dealt a savage blow when $1.80 favourite Tuileries never looked the winner in the F&M Benchmark 78 Handicap (1200m). The Peter Snowden -trained filly was back last and wide in the early stages where the leaders ran a pedestrian 38.03sec for the first 600m and despite running her last 600m in 32.99sec, Tuileries wasn't able to get any closer than fourth at the line. Useapin digs deep to take the win at Rosehill for @cwallerracing and @ZacLloydx! ðŸ'¥ @aus_turf_club â€' SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) July 19, 2025 • Her impossible task left the door open for the Chris Waller -trained Useapin to capitalise on a positive ride by Zac Lloyd, the three-year-old daughter of Waller's first Everest winner Yes Yes Yes recorded her fourth win from 11 starts. 'She showed nice gate speed which gives options going forward,' Lloyd said. 'She travelled so kindly, and I think once she learns how to put a field away, she's got many more lengths up her sleeve. 'At the bend I thought she might win by three but she just got a bit lost up the straight, but she always had her head in front and toughed it out nicely.' Useapin is close to 17 hands in size and due to that, Waller's is in no rush to raise the bar for the sizeable chestnut filly. 'She's a big girl,' he said. 'She's always shown us something but because of her big size I've taken her along slowly. 'She was brave and she's on her way.' Useapin ($6.50) defeated the 14-time runner-up Dollar Magic ($6.50) by a head with a long head back to Art's Alive ($11) in third.

Aussie Johnson adds to gold medal haul at worlds
Moesha Johnson has added to her gold-medal collection at the world championships in Singapore, winning bronze in the 3km knockout sprint. The Australian finished third behind Japan's Ichika Kajimoto and Italian Ginevra Taddeucci in Saturday's race. The 21-year-old Kajimoto came out on top after six minutes 19.90 seconds, beating Taddeucci by two secs. Taddeucci has been most unlucky these championships finishing as bridesmaid in also the 10km and 5km swims. Johnson won both events and in a sprint finish won the 5km by one second from the Italian. In the knockout sprint, which was contested for the first time at the world aquatics championships, three races are completed in quick succession. Athletes first swim 1,500 metres, then 1,000m, before the final 500m sprint determines the winner. The event made its debut at last year's open water world juniors. It was then swum at two of the three World Cup stops with four different winners - Germany's Oliver Klemet and Hungary's David Betlehem, as well as Germany's Lea Boy and Kajimoto. Meanwhile, Germany's Florian Wellbrock won the men's 3km knockout sprint to take his tally in the worlds to three golds. The 27-year-old was unbeatable in the open water sprint, finishing first in five minutes 46 secs, beating silver medallist David Betlehem of Hungary by 1.7 sec. France's Marc-Antoine Olivier rounded out the podium. Wellbrock won gold in the men's 5km on Friday, two days after winning the 10km event.
