Last year at Wimbledon, Prince William told tennis star Novak Djokovic that he’s trying to get his older kids — Prince George and Princess Charlotte — into sports.

“How are your children?” Djokovic, himself a dad of two, asked the royal couple in a video shared by the famed tennis tournament.

“Very well, thanks, very well,” the dad of three responds. “Trying to get a tennis racket in their hand — and a football!”

Kate, 37, surprised tennis fans on Tuesday by taking a seat at Court 14 to watch watch British player Harriet Dart play American Christina McHale.

She later made her way to her normal seat — in the front row of the royal box at Centre Court — to watch a match between Federer and Lloyd Harris.

Kate looked ready for summer in a white shirt dress with buttons down the front accessorized with an Alexander McQueen belt, chic sunglasses and her signature blowout.

In 2018, the royal made two back-to-back appearances at the famed tennis tournament. She and sister-in-law Meghan Markle had their first solo outing on July 14, heading to the royal box to watch Angelique Kerber take on Serena Williams (a close friend of Meghan’s) in the Ladies’ Single Final.

Kate returned the next day with Prince William, leaving their children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and baby Prince Louis — at home while they squeezed in the daytime date to watch Novak Djokovic and Kevin Anderson play in the Gentlemen’s Singles Final.
