Prince William joined his wife Kate and two of their children for the men’s final at Wimbledon in a star-studded Royal Box that also included actors Dustin Hoffman, Nicole Kidman and Ben Stiller.<\/p>\n

Kate is the patron of the All England Club and presented the trophy to winner Jannik Sinner after his match against Alexander Zverev<\/a>. She also handed out the trophy to women’s winner Linda Noskova<\/a> yesterday, but was not joined by any family members.<\/p>\n

The couple’s two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also attended today’s match. <\/p>\n

All four were on hand to watch Sinner beat Carlos Alcaraz in last year’s final as well. <\/p>\n

After the win over Zverev, the royals had an extended chat with Sinner in a room inside the tournament\u2019s main stadium as he clutched the golden trophy.<\/p>\n

\u201cFantastic achievement,\u201d Kate told Sinner. \u201cIt’s really inspiring to the children to see tennis at that level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sinner then asked the young royals how often they play tennis themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot every day, but weekends,\u201d George said.<\/p>\n

Sinner had a similar conversation with the four royals after last year’s final.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can really see that they love the sport,\u201d Sinner said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exactly how we feel as players on court when we see them watching tennis. <\/p>\n

“Staying there for four hours under the sun with the heat, it\u2019s really nice. … Having the whole Royal Box there, as well, the whole people staying for a match like this for four-ish hours, it\u2019s amazing. That\u2019s also the reason why we love to play tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other dignitaries in the Royal Box included German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Italy’s sports minister Andrea Abodi.<\/p>\n
