The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have brought Prince George, a keen tennis fan, to this year's Wimbledon men's final.
He will watch the match this afternoon, in what will hopefully be the first of many centre-court appearances for the junior royal. You would never have known it was his SW19 debut, as he arrived smartly dressed and looking cool as a cucumber.
Kate Middleton is the patron of the All England Club and also came to watch yesterday’s ladies' final between Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina. The mum-of-three looked resplendent in yellow as she cheered from the Royal Box alongside Hollywood royalty, Tom Cruise.

Today (Sunday, July 10) she has been joined by sports-mad Prince William, and her eldest son, to see if Novak Djokovic can defend his Wimbledon crown. He is up against Australia's Nick Krygios with an estimated start time of 2pm, The Mirror reports.
Prince George, eight, was suited and booted for the occasion, wearing a smart dark blue suit to match his mother's outfit for the final. The couple's official Twitter account said: "Off to the Wimbledon Men’s Singles final! It’s going to be a hot one!"
Ahead of the final, the couple were greeted by the Championships' ball boys and girls as well as staff. Future king Prince George is known to be a keen tennis fan and has been having lessons on the court since he was five.

Roger Federer, the eight-time winner of Wimbledon, previously revealed he has given Prince George private lessons and said the youngster has talent with a racquet. He said: "At that stage, it's all about just touching the ball, it's already good."
Kate seemed to enjoy finals day at the Championships on Saturday as, ahead of the action, she met with future stars of tomorrow as well as those who work behind the scenes of the tournament. After watching Rybakina take the title in three gripping sets she praised both players’ efforts as they battled in hot conditions.
She tweeted afterwards said: “What a final! Congratulations Elena Rybakina and commiserations Ons Jabeur. A beautiful day for a brilliant match. Congratulations to both players but also to all the unsung heroes that make this tournament what it is. Wimbledon you make us proud each and every year!”
Earlier this week the couple were seen on No 1. Court cheering on Cameron Norrie in his quarter-final victory over Belgian David Goffin. During the tense match, Prince William seemed to be caught on camera swearing as a point for the Brit went awry.
Viewers claimed they saw him saying “no, no, no, f***' in the crowd. As Norrie was seen wheeling away in frustration after slipping up in his own service game, the coverage cut to an equally annoyed Duke.
He shook his head from side to side before seemingly uttering the expletive as he straightened his tie. South Africa-born Norrie dug deep to come from behind and eventually beat his opponent and set up a semi-final meeting with World No3 Novak Djokovic.
The royal couple missed Norrie’s semi-final defeat against the Serbian six-time Wimbledon champion. The Duchess was due to take her seat on Centre Court on Thursday but had to pull out as it was her children’s last day of school ahead of the summer break.
