Prince George And Princess Charlotte looked the picture of royal etiquette as they accompanied their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, on the final day of Wimbledon.

The siblings relaxed in the royal box as Charlotte wore an elegant blue dress and George was suited and booted despite the 29C heat.

At one point, the pair laughed among themselves as they wore sunhats and sunglasses to shade themselves.

Their younger brother Louis, eight, was absent from the high profile sporting event.

While Prince William sat unmoved by the summer warmth, Kate, George and Charlotte made use of a portable fan and woven hats.

The family had prime seats as they watched Italy's Jannik Sinner swoop to victory in the men's singles finals against Germany's Alexander Zverev.

The Prince and Princess of Wales congratulated tennis player Arthur Fery – who turns 24 today – on his run to the semi-finals which ended on Friday and wished him a happy birthday.

As he shook their hand, the British wildcard invited Prince George and Princess Charlotte to play tennis with him when he spoke to the royals as they attended Wimbledon for the men’s singles final.

William, Kate, George and Charlotte arrived at the All England Club shortly after 3pm on Sunday and greeted a line-up of guests.

Kate, who wore an olive green midi-dress, greeted Fery by handing him a birthday card and saying: “This is for you, happy birthday.”

The princess then introduced the tennis player to George and Charlotte, who both shook his hand.

In their conversation, Fery told the princess that he had not played on Centre Court before the tournament, describing the experience as “really special”.

He could be overheard telling Kate “I hear your children play tennis”, before inviting them to “hit some balls”.

Lord Frederick Windsor, his wife Sophie Winkleman, and Lady Gabriella Kingston, were also among the other members of the royal family taking a seat at Centre Court this afternoon.

They join Australian actress Nicole Kidman, American actor Rami Malek, British singer Raye, and former world number one Stan Smith.

Last year, Kate presented the trophy to Sinner, who became the first Italian to win a Wimbledon singles title, after giving the runner’s up prize to Carlos Alcaraz.
