Prince William and Kate Middleton’s kids receive sweet gift from Wimbledon champ Jannik Sinner

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s three children were treated to a special gift from Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner over the weekend. 

On Sunday, July 13, the future king and queen of England made a surprise appearance at the iconic tennis match, alongside two of their children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10. 

The young family looked picture-perfect in coordinating blue outfits at the matchup between reigning men’s champ Carlos Alcaraz and Sinner. 

Princess Kate and Charlotte donned elegant dresses, while Prince William and George sported streamlined suits. 

After enjoying the match in the Royal Box, the Prince and Princess of Wales, 43, and their two eldest kids, hung around for a bit to chat it up with the 23-year-old Italian tennis champ.

During the sweet interaction, the royal family asked the Sinner about his elbow injury and his plans to celebrate his big win.

In footage shared by the BBC, Sinner is then seen gently grabbing the balls held by young Charlotte to autograph them. 

“Thank you so much, that’s really kind,” Princess Kate replied to the Italian tennis star.

“We brought one for their brother as well,” she continued, to which Prince William replied, “Louis would be upset otherwise.” 

Fans were quick to react to the touching moment between the Wimbledon champ and royal children. 

“He signed a tennis ball for the future king of England. This has got to be the best day of this guys life,” one person wrote on X. 

“Wow that is so lovely of Sinner to do this,” another person said.

“Sweet gesture. Sinner is a great champion and a very nice person,” a third person echoed.

After the rare royal meet-and-greet, Sinner admitted that he “didn’t know what to say” to the young royals during a post-match press conference.

“It’s difficult to understand, you know, how you can talk. I always try to talk very natural,” Sinner told reporters. “I asked the kids if they play tennis and asked them what kind of racquets they play with, these kinds of things.” 

“It was amazing. I believe for us tennis players, it’s so nice to have them watching us because it makes it even more special,” he continued, adding, “it was a very nice moment.” 

Princess George, who turns 12 next week on July 22, and his sister Charlotte have both attended Wimbledon previously. However, their younger brother, Prince Louis, is yet to make his Wimbledon debut. 

The Royal Box at Centre Court is typically off-limits to children; however, an exception has been made more than once for young royals. 

The royals typically make appearances at the historic match.

On Sunday, Princess Kate presented Sinner with the Wimbledon trophy on Centre Court after he beat former champion Carlos Alcaraz. 

Kensington Palace had previously announced that Prince William and his wife would attend the men’s final; however, Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s attendance was a surprise. 

Princess Kate also attended the ladies’ singles final match on July 12.
