Prince Louis' Wimbledon Debut Might Be the Sweetest Royal Surprise of the Summer
The youngest child in Prince William and Kate's family has always been a showstopper. He's wild and free-spirited — a quality we love about him. But does his personality fit within Wimbledon's very traditional structure? Kate hasn't been at Wimbledon yet this season, but we can take a look at Louis' older siblings and gather what mom might be thinking.

Brooks Nader's Wimbledon Whites Were a Serve - Until a Period Plot Twist Stole the Show
Both Prince George and Princess Charlotte were eight years old when they attended their first match at the esteemed club. In 2022, royal fans witnessed George watched Novak Djokovic defeat Nick Kyrgios in the men's singles final with William and Kate. He looked sharply dressed, wearing a navy blue suit, a white shirt and a matching tie. Dad appeared to be pointing out the rules of the game and George smiled broadly throughout the match.
In July 2023, it was Charlotte's turn to make her debut and George made sure to take his younger sister under his wing. She sported a sweet, blue-and-white floral dress to watch Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in the men's singles final. The young royal made herself at home, casually leaning back to stretch with her arms behind her head and wearing a pair of very cool pink sunglasses. Being the total pro that she is, Charlotte also made sure to wave to the fans in the crowd.
So, it's likely that Kate and William will wait one more year until Prince Louis makes his first Wimbledon appearance, and it's sure to be an eventful time in the stands. Jo Frost, aka the Supernanny, described the youngest royal as 'a highly sensitive person' after he blew out Charlotte's candle during the Together at Christmas concert in December 2023.
'He is elevated by high energy experiences and can sometimes get excited beyond the point that his behavior may be unpredictable,' she explained to Hello! while sharing high praise for William and Kate's parenting skills.
'His parents navigate their son's behavior in public settings, they balance room, holding space for Prince Louis to be himself emotionally, whilst instilling the importance of social conduct in public settings and I believe this should be recognized and complemented as many families do the same in life.'
So, we will patiently wait for Prince Louis' Wimbledon debut in 2026 or later, unless Kate and William give royal fans a surprise this year.Best of SheKnows

Eugenie Bouchard retiring from tennis after turbulent career
Eleven years after she exploded onto the tennis scene, Eugenie Bouchard will be retiring from tennis 'where it all started.' The 31-year-old Canadian announced on Instagram that she was going to be leaving the game after playing in the Montreal Open at the end of the month. 'You'll know when it's time. For me, it's now. Ending where it all started: Montreal,' Bouchard wrote along with a series of photos starting with her playing as a young girl and featuring moments from her career. Advertisement 3 Eugenie Bocuhard waves to the crowd after losing a 2023 qualifying match in Montreal. AP Bouchard will be granted a wild card by tournament organizers to give her a proper sendoff, Tennis Canada announced. Bouchard's career started in amazing fashion in 2014 when she reached the semifinals of the Australian Open and French Open, then the finals at Wimbledon, where she lost to Petra Kvitova in straight sets. Advertisement Her powerful ground game and outgoing personality appeared to have her on track to be one of the sport's biggest stars as she reached No. 5 in the world rankings. Bouchard was never able to back up that promise, though, and is now far removed from the contending scene, ranked 1,078th in the world. Bouchard, who was the junior champion at Wimbledon in 2012, now more frequently plays on The Pro Tour of Pickleball. 3 Eugenie Bouchard after losing the 2014 Wimbledon final. AP Advertisement Tennis Canada chief executive officer Gavin Ziv thanked Bouchard for her contributions to tennis in Canada. 'Few athletes have left as profound a mark on Canadian tennis as Genie has throughout her extraordinary career, things that many thought would be impossible for Canadian players,' Tennis Canada chief executive officer Gavin Ziv said in a statement. 'Her career highlights, which include a Wimbledon final appearance and a Billie Jean King Cup championship, are nothing short of extraordinary and were a true catalyst for the development of tennis in our country. She's been and still is an incredible ambassador for our sport and, on behalf of Tennis Canada, I want to thank her for everything she's done.' Advertisement Bouchard has only played one tournament-level tennis match this year, losing to American Anna Rogers last week in Rhode Island. Bouchard's career was derailed by inconsistent play and injury, including a serious shoulder surgery that kept her off the court for 17 months in 2021 and '22. Her career also included a lengthy lawsuit against the USTA after she suffered a concussion when she slipped and fell in a US Open locker room in 2015. 3 Eugenie Bouchard is retiring from tennis. Larry Marano The incident happened after Bouchard had reached the fourth round and had appeared in good form, but was forced to withdraw from the event as a result of the injury. A jury ruled that the USTA was 75 percent to blame for Bouchard's injuries with the player taking 25 percent of the blame. Bouchard had dubbed 2024 an 'experimental year' on the 'Not Alone Pod' as she figured out if she could juggle tennis and pickleball careers. It appears that experiment is now ending.
