TENNIS – Kate, Britain’s Princess of Wales, mingled with the crowds at Wimbledon yesterday and lent her support to the British hopefuls playing in the warm London sunshine.
Dressed in a blue trouser suit, the 44-year-old wife of heir to the throne Prince William watched Arthur Fery, one of the last Britons remaining in the draw, in his early games against Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen on Court 18.
The 23-year-old wildcard went on to win 5-7 7-6(3) 6-3 6-3.
In a courtside interview, a delighted Fery said he might have felt more nervous had he realised royalty was in the house.
The princess later switched to Court One.
