Catherine, Princess of Wales surprised tennis fans by departing from a longstanding royal tradition during an early visit to The Championships, Wimbledon.

A different way to watch

Instead of taking her customary seat in the Royal Box on Centre Court, the Princess chose to spend part of her visit watching British players compete on the outside courts.

The move allowed her to support homegrown talent in a more informal setting before later activities at the tournament.

A notable departure

As the royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the Princess is a familiar presence at Wimbledon and is typically seen in the Royal Box during marquee matches on Centre Court.

Her decision to begin the day elsewhere marked a break from that tradition and drew attention from spectators and royal watchers.

Continuing a Wimbledon tradition

The Princess remains closely associated with Wimbledon and is expected to take part in other tournament traditions, including presenting trophies to the champions later in the competition, as she has in previous years.

Bottom line

Catherine, Princess of Wales took an unconventional approach during her early Wimbledon visit by watching British players on the outside courts rather than immediately taking her seat in Centre Court's Royal Box, highlighting her support for players across the tournament.
