Young royals' reaction to Wimbledon stars
As reported by The Mirror, during the brief but memorable courtside moment, Princess Kate chatted with men's doubles champions Cash and Glasspool, curious about their partnership. As the expert lip reader observed, Middleton turned to her children and said: 'Wow, how about that? So, they only just started playing together ten months ago. And go on to win Wimbledon.'

It is to be noted, Charlotte's wide-eyed excitement at Wimbledon didn't come out of nowhere. According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, the young princess has long been a tennis enthusiast.

With both the Middleton and royal families embracing the sport, it's no surprise Charlotte responded so warmly. Her love for tennis, nurtured from a young age, made her courtside moment all the more genuine.
