King Felipe joins British royals to support Carlos Alcaraz at 2025 Wimbledon final
Spain's King Felipe made a royal appearance at Wimbledon 2025 to cheer on tennis star Carlos Alcaraz in the gentlemen's singles final. Seated in the prestigious Royal Box on Centre Court, the Spanish monarch joined the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to watch the match between Alcaraz and Italy's Jannik Sinner on July 13. This marks King Felipe's return to the tournament after last attending in 2023, where he also witnessed Alcaraz defeat Novak Djokovic in a historic final. While the King missed Alcaraz's 2024 Wimbledon win, Spain's royal house still congratulated the tennis star with a heartfelt message celebrating his "perfect blend of courage and talent." 🇬🇧🇪🇸🎾 The Wales Family with HM King Felipe VI of Spain today at Wimbledon — Imperial Material ♚ (@implmaterial) July 13, 2025 King Felipe meets the Waleses at Wimbledon 2025 — Jerseydeanne (@jerseydeanne) July 13, 2025 During a post-match interview in 2023, Alcaraz had expressed his appreciation for the royal support, saying: 'Felipe, I'm really proud that you are here supporting me… I hope you are coming more,' drawing laughter from the King and the crowd. The 2025 final was attended by notable British royals as well. Catherine, Princess of Wales—patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club—was present for both the ladies' and gentlemen's finals this year. She previously shared that Princess Charlotte had been cheering for Alcaraz during his 2024 victory. Catherine, Prince William, Charlotte, and George were seen enjoying the thrilling match, underscoring the close connection between the royal family and the iconic tennis event. With Alcaraz continuing to dominate the court and royalty showing support from both Spain and the UK, the 2025 Wimbledon final was as much a regal affair as it was a sporting spectacle.

Prince William Has 'Terrifying' Warning for Anyone Meeting Robert Irwin
Prince William Has 'Terrifying' Warning for Anyone Meeting Robert Irwin originally appeared on Parade. Prince William is all for conservation, but if you're meeting Robert Irwin, he has one very specific heads-up: be ready for whatever might come out of his pockets. The 43-year-old royal made a surprise appearance on BBC Radio 2 via voice note on Tuesday, June 24, during Irwin's guest segment with host Scott Mills. As the Australian wildlife photographer fielded questions from listeners about tiger teeth and elephant populations, Mills, 51, teased 'we've got one more' message — which turned out to be from the future king himself. 🇬🇧 The Prince of Wales with Robert Irwin, Global Ambassador — Imperial Material ♚ (@implmaterial) June 24, 2025 'Good morning, Scott, or should I say, G'day, Scott?' William began. 'I know you've got the fantastic Robert Irwin on the show this morning, a brilliant ambassador for the Earthshot Prize.' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 William went on to invite both Mills and Irwin to the next Earthshot Prize ceremony, set to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this November.

'Just beware, Scott, that Robert likes to pull random terrifying animals and creatures out of his pockets while he's on anyone's show and talking to them, so just watch your back at all times,' the heir to the British throne said. 'That tarantula or something doesn't suddenly pop onto your desk.' The 21-year-old wildlife expert — and son of the late Steve Irwin — became a Global Ambassador for the Earthshot Prize in 2024 and has since appeared alongside William at multiple events. The two were last seen together at the Earthshot Awards in Cape Town that November, where they bonded over their favorite African animals (a cheetah for William, a chameleon for Robert) in a video they shared on both of their Instagram accounts.
