The Princess of Wales has taken her seat in the Royal Box on Wimbledon’s Centre Court to watch the ladies’ singles final.
Kate sat next to tennis great Billie Jean King to watch Czech player Marketa Vondrousova take on Tunisian Ons Jabeur for the title.
Wearing a pale green ensemble from Self-Portrait, the princess arrived over an hour before the match began and chatted with Wimbledon staff, including 14-year-old ball girl Tiffany and 17-year-old ball boy Abhi, at the Players’ Lawn.
The princess met Philippa George, a representative of the Riding For The Disabled charity, who tossed the coin for the final.
Kate asked about her Wimbledon-themed nail polish and whether Ms George had been practising for the toss.
The princess told her she was “such an inspiration to so many people” and was glad she had been recognised.
Ms George, 27, told the PA news agency after the meeting: “It was so special. She was asking me about my nails and talked to me about how I like horses.
“She was really happy that I was here… it means so much.”
