Each year, millions of sports enthusiasts tune in to\u00a0watch the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament in the world.<\/p>\n

For Kate, the Princess of Wales, the Wimbledon Championships is more than just a game; it\u2019s a \u2018quintessential part of the English summer\u2019.<\/p>\n

Those lucky enough to get tickets to watch in person get through around 140,000 punnets of strawberries and 10,000 litres of cream.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As Kate is expected to return to the royal spotlight on July 8 for the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, royal observers are eager to catch a glimpse of the princess at this year\u2019s championships.<\/p>\n

Kate, who\u00a0has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016,\u00a0was tasked with handing out the winners and runner-up trophies at Wimbledon in 2023.<\/p>\n

Tunisian tennis player\u00a0Ons<\/span>\u00a0Jabeur was tearful after coming\u00a0runner-up in two consecutive finals. It was a tough time for the athlete as she also lost at the US Open Final that year.<\/p>\n

As Kate presented her with her runners-up prize, the two stopped to talk.<\/p>\n

Kate, known for her kind gestures, offered words of encouragement and embraced the visibly distressed athlete in a break from royal protocol.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Kate,<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kate, known for her kind gestures, offered words of encouragement and embraced the visibly distressed athlete in a break from royal protocol<\/p>\n

In an interview,\u00a0Jabeur\u00a0<\/span>said: \u2018Obviously, she was very nice. She didn\u2019t know if she wanted to give me a hug or not. I told her hugs are always welcome from me.\u2019<\/p>\n

When she was asked what Kate had said to her, she added: \u2018Same thing after last year. To encourage me to be strong, to come back and win a Grand Slam, win a\u00a0Wimbledon<\/span>.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Princess has been a fan of the sport since childhood, with the royal telling Sue Barker in a 2017 BBC documentary: \u2018I have watched Wimbledon, that was very much part of my growing up.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think it really inspires youngsters, myself, it inspired me when I was younger to get involved in the game. It hasn\u2019t changed either, I think that\u2019s what\u2019s so wonderful.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking to Hello!, Jabeur added that the Royal initiated the warm embrace, noting her kind energy was a significant support: \u2018She was really the nicest. She has watched me twice, losing the final twice.<\/p>\n

\u2018She kept asking me if she could hug me, and I was like, \u201cWho doesn\u2019t want a hug from a Princess, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018For me, it was such an amazing moment. And not just that, I felt her kindness and energy around me.\u2019<\/p>\n

This comes as the tennis star had to retire just 26 minutes into the first round\u00a0during this year\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n
\n
\"'For<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018For me, it was such an amazing moment. And not just that, I felt her kindness and energy around me,\u2019 said\u00a0Jabeur<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\"When<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When she was asked what Kate had said to her, she added: \u2018Same thing after last year. To encourage me to be strong, to come back and win a Grand Slam, win a Wimbledon\u2019<\/p>\n

Jabeur needed medical assistance midway through the first set but ultimately withdrew from her match with Viktoriya Tomova.<\/p>\n

As this year\u2019s tournament is well underway, the likes of John Cena, Thomas Tuchel and Olivia Rodrigo have all been part of the star-studded line-up in the Royal Box.<\/p>\n

The courtside Royal Box has served as a VIP area since 1922 and includes access to a private clubhouse for lunch, along with a \u2018smart\u2019 dress code.<\/p>\n

Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, made her first Wimbledon appearance in more than two decades as she was spotted on the first day of the renowned tennis competition with her daughter, Princess Beatrice.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time the ex-wife of Prince Andrew has been seen at the prestigious tennis tournament since 2000 when she watched Venus and Serena Williams during the semi-finals of the women\u2019s singles.<\/p>\n

However, during the tournament, the duchess wasn\u2019t seated in the Royal Box, which she had often graced alongside Princess Diana between the 1980s and 1990s.<\/p>\n

Last year, Kate was joined by her daughter,\u00a0Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Matthews, for the men\u2019s final, marking\u00a0her second major appearance of the year amid her\u00a0cancer<\/span>\u00a0treatment.<\/p>\n

The only time the Princess missed the tournament was in 2013 when she was weeks away from welcoming her first child, Prince George.<\/p>\n

\"Hugs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hugs all round:\u00a015. Vondrousova of the Czech Republic, still holding the winners trophy, hugs a tearful Jabeur of Tunisia as she leaves the court<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

This isn\u2019t the only time Kate has broken royal protocol by swapping a stiff handshake for a hug.<\/p>\n

Like the late Princess Diana, Kate has a natural charm which gives her an advantage when it comes to winning over public affection.<\/p>\n

During a visit to\u00a0the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists\u2019\u00a0London<\/span>\u00a0headquarters in\u00a0February 2018, Kate\u00a0saw\u00a0Professor Jacqueline Dunkley-Bent \u2013 the midwife who helped deliver\u00a0Princess Charlotte<\/span>\u00a0in 2015 \u2013 and gave her an enormous hug.<\/p>\n

According to the Royal Family website, it suggests that upon meeting royalty, men should bow from the neck and women should dip into a small curtsey.<\/p>\n

The same rules follow when you address a royal. It\u2019s Your Royal Highness on the first meeting and subsequently Sir or Ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n

But as royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline: \u2018The Queen once told Michelle Obama that royal protocol is rubbish, meaning that the Royal Family\u00a0adapt it<\/span>\u00a0when it is appropriate to do so.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\"Last<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Kate has often flexed the rules of royal protocol by giving out hugs and chatting extensively to adoring fans.<\/p>\n

It seems rules are meant to be broken as even\u00a0Prince William has strayed from royal protocol when he hugged 78-year-old Fatima Jafari, who lost her husband in the Grenfell Tower fire.<\/p>\n

As Wimbledon is an event which the princess holds so close to her heart, royal observers are desperate to see Kate at the tournament.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, eagle-eyed fans will be keeping their eyes out for celebrities in the Royal Box<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
