The royal mom, 37, made a surprise appearance on Court 14 to watch watch British player Harriet Dart play American Christina McHale. She wore a tennis-white shirt dress with buttons down the front accessorized with an Alexander McQueen belt, chic sunglasses and her signature blowout.
Kate, who normally views matches from the royal box, took in the tennis match from her seat in the crowd before making her way to Centre Court where she then took her iconic seat in the front row of the royal box.
The mother of three enjoyed watching Tatjana Maria play Angelique Kerber, and closely followed the match, clapping and chatting with fellow Wimbledon fans.
