The Prince and Princess of Wales will take their two eldest children to watch the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday afternoon.

The Princess, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) will be joined by the Prince, as well as Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 11, to watch Jannik Sinner compete against Alexander Zverev.

The Wales family, who also attended Wimbledon last year without Prince Louis, eight, will arrive on the players’ lawn before heading to Centre Court’s Royal Box for the duration of the final.

They will be joined in the box by Deborah Jevans, the chairman of the AELTC, and a gathering of screen stars including Dustin Hoffman, Ben Stiller, Nicole Kidman, Rami Malek and Sienna Miller.

Last year, Prince George admitted he was “all right” at tennis ahead of the final match in a discussion with doubles champion Julian Cash.

In a discussion about the eldest Wales child playing tennis, Cash asked if he was any good, to which the young Prince appeared to shrug and reply: “I’m all right.”

The 12-year-old is known to be a keen tennis enthusiast, like his sister and mother.

Their appearance on Sunday marks the Princess of Wales’s third time at Wimbledon during this year’s championships. She also attended the women’s final on Saturday, where she presented the Venus Rosewater Dish to Linda Noskova.

During the first week of the competition, the Princess also surprised tennis fans by meeting people in Wimbledon’s famous queue and later handing out tickets to attendees. She also watched British wild card Arthur Fery on Court 18 for 30 minutes alongside former pro Tim Henman.
