Prince George beats the heat in Royal Box at Wimbledon final
George looked smart in a dark jacket, pale blue shirt and striped tie as he watched defending champion Carlos Alcaraz take on Jannik Sinner.

With temperatures reaching 27C in south-west London, George was seen opening and fanning himself with a dark wood-slatted hand fan and sipping bottled water with his father during a break in play.
His sister, Princess Charlotte, also used one of the fans to cool herself in the afternoon sun.
The fans, which featured a traditional folding design with brown wooden ribs and paper leaves, were widely used by Royal Box guests as they tried to stay comfortable in the heat.
The Wales family arrived ahead of the final and paused to greet 11-year-old Ambrose Caldecott – the young cancer patient chosen to perform the ceremonial coin toss.
Kate was heard telling him: 'Good luck today, we'll be cheering you on.'

The Princess of Wales wore a royal blue dress, while Charlotte opted for a beige summer dress.
They were joined in the box by a host of celebrities including Keira Knightley, Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Nicole Kidman and Dame Anna Wintour.
Many guests chose lightweight tailoring, sunglasses and handheld fans to deal with the hot weather.
The appearance marked another high-profile Wimbledon outing for Prince George, who also attended the men's final in 2022 and 2023.
The family looked relaxed as they took in the final match of the fortnight under clear skies.

Brand Wimbledon serves a masterclass in building long-term global identity
Also covered under legal protection are the titles and branding you'd expect: 'THE CHAMPIONSHIP' and 'THE WIMBLEDON' (registered since 1884) and 'WIMBLEDON' since 1996. In recent years, these legal measures have become even vital, as demand for 'tenniscore' and Wimbledon-branded merchandise has grown. Counterfeit products flood the market during tournament season, prompting increased efforts to crack down on unauthorised sellers, both physical and online. For businesses looking to take notes, the message is clear: identify what makes your brand distinctive, protect it through the right IP tools, and above all, enforce it.
