Royals at Wimbledon 2008 - 2023

[Elly C]

Well you can’t doubt her enthusiasm for tennis. We know she enjoys playing the game. She’s also been in regular attendance in previous years, even perhaps restricting the number of times she attended in the early years in case she came in for criticism for spending too much time watching tennis! I agree that there may be a specific reason for her no show during the first week.

The ongoing discussion about certain members of the Royal Family not attending this year's Wimbledon has been removed as speculative and off-topic, this thread is about those royals who actually attend the matches. Thank you for your understanding!

Business as usual. All’s right with the world!

Good to see them there.

And nice to see them go over to Court 1 to support Cam Norrie. Hopefully they'll be there for his SF on Friday.

Whole Belgium was looking to our David Goffin playing Court 1.... Norrie is the Winner but I saw when during the Match when he lost the Duke of Cambridge was not that happy.

It was an exciting, close match. I think the shots of both the Duke and Duchess showed they were fully involved - sometimes frustrated and sometimes elated, just like the rest of us. They were certainly pleased with the result.

A video of today:

Does anyone know why there appeared to be no lovely bouquets that the ladies finalists used to have as they walked on court ?

 

[Alison H]

At a quick guess, someone's claimed that it was sexist. They've redone the honours board so that all the female champions are now just listed as S Graf, M Navratilova, etc, rather than as Miss or Mrs, and the flowers may have been done away with for the same reason. Just guessing, though.

Equality. Or perhaps just health and safety over potential allergies. I mean it was a bit…oh sweet…to give the women and not the men flowers. Same for both.

I'll stick my neck out and say some nutter banned it.

So lovely to see George there. He seems to be really into it, as well.

You can always count on the trusty old Prince of Kent to bring some old world charm to the proceedings at the All England Club.

The Princess of Wales attended Day 2 of Wimbledon. Apparently she is there for the Ceremony for Roger Federer at Centre Court.
