It was a fun-filled sibling day out for Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the men’s singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday.
While Prince Louis was absent, his brother and sister joined their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, to watch Italy‘s Jannik Sinner retain the tennis title, beating Germany‘s Alexander Zverev.
Sporting action aside, the event proved to be a blast for 12-year-old George and his 11-year-old sister Charlotte, with the pair seen in high spirits throughout the day.
In one particularly entertaining moment, the future king was seen making his sister roar with laughter after pulling down his sun hat.
But with temperatures as high as 29C in SW19 yesterday, keeping cool was no joke. George donned sunglasses and gripped a handheld fan to help battle London‘s balmy weather.
Charlotte opted to wear a pair of £71 Ray-Ban ‘Wayfarer’ sunglasses in the colour Havana to protect herself from the summer sun, alongside an elegant dress in royal blue and £159 ‘Nicole’ ballet flats from Pretty Ballerinas.
The shades weren’t the only accessory she added, with the princess sporting a £48 Isabella Icon Charm Adjustable Bracelet from Ted Baker.
While the young royals looked highly amused after they dashed out of the Royal Box at Wimbledon to grab sun hats, their father, Prince William, seemed totally unfazed by the high temperatures.

In another moment yesterday, Kate shook hands with British player Arthur Fery, who made history by becoming the first wildcard to make it to the semi-final in 25 years.
The 5ft 9in player’s fairytale run finally came to an end after he was beaten by Zverev on Friday.
But his newfound friendship with the Royal Family has appeared to continue unabated – as he spoke of inviting the Wales children to play tennis with him.
Fery said: ‘I mean the princess came to my match in the second round, it was great to have her there and we spoke a little about that. It was good to see her here and good to meet her finally.
‘She wished me good luck for the rest of the year and congratulated me for these two weeks.
‘I know the whole family are all tennis fans, so I told her if her kids ever wanted to hit, I’m free. It would be good to see them again.’
Fery said he would be watching the final on TV, with the princess handing him a birthday card to celebrate his 24th.
She previously congratulated Fery on his quarter-final win against Flavio Cobolli by paying tribute to a ‘wonderful day’ at Wimbledon.

Kate signed off her message of support on social media with a tennis ball emoji and the letter ‘C’.
She attended Wimbledon for the men’s final last year when she handed Sinner the trophy following an enthralling four-set battle.
The princess donned her ‘Wimbledon bow’ – a brooch featuring the tournament’s iconic colours.
Kate was also present for the 2025 women’s final and offered consoling words to the runner-up Amanda Anisimova after her 6–0, 6–0 loss to Polish player Iga Swiatek.
In 2024, while recovering from cancer, Kate did not attend the women’s final but was on hand for Carlos Alcaraz’s win over Novak Djokovic at the All England Club.
Several other familiar faces have descended on south-west London on Sunday afternoon for the 4pm match as the two-week-long tournament came to an end.
Pop sensation Jennifer Lopez, 56, looked the epitome of glamour as she arrived in a tight nude midi dress which she paired with a stylish hat and towering heels.
Elsewhere, actress Nicole Kidman, 59, looked chic in a white suit as she joined Dame Anna Wintour in the Royal Box – where the Vogue icon enjoyed a rare laugh as she chatted to the Australian star.
Departing Strictly host Tess Daly, 57, and her daughter Phoebe, 21, Daisy Edgar-Jones, 28, Twiggy, 76, and Nicky Hilton, 42, also made their arrivals earlier in the afternoon and sported glamorous dresses.
Zverev secured a place in the final after beating Fery earlier this week while Sinner defeated Djokovic.
The women’s singles final was an equally starry affair with the likes of Hannah Waddingham and Davina McCall attending on Saturday.
Linda Noskova won her first Wimbledon championship in style as she roared back in a dramatic third set after missing out on five match points in the second.
The 21-year-old was making her Grand Slam final debut in SW19 against her fellow Czech – and 2023 French Open finalist – Karolina Muchova.
After romping to a commanding 6-2, 5-2 lead, however, nerves appeared to tell, with Muchova hitting back to send the match through to a decider.
But with admirable nerve, Noskova saw out the final set at pace before bursting into tears on Centre Court.
