Kate Middleton blows sweet kiss to her mum and dad as they all attend Wimbledon

The Duchess of Cambridge looked delighted to be back at Wimbledon today as she attended the tennis tournament with husband Prince William.

And the trip to the championship proved to be a family affair for Kate as her parents Carole and Michael Middleton were also spotted taking their seats in the Royal Box on Centre Court.

The royal couple weren't sitting next to Kate's parents, who appeared to be located elsewhere in the box.

But that didn't stop Kate from blowing a sweet kiss towards her mum and dad with her face lighting up when she managed to clock them in their seats.

TV cameras spotted her blowing the kiss and waving, saying hello after she looked around the box trying to find them.

Kate is known to be close to her mum and dad and the Middletons are regulars at Wimbledon as they all share a love of the sport.

She and William arrived at the All England Club today in time to watch British hopeful Cameron Norrie take on David Goffin in the quarter-finals of the men's singles - but will have to make the trip across to Court One later for the match.

Kate wore a blue polka dress by Alessandra Rich that she has worn once before at a street party for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee last month - along with her All England Club ribbon.

Both Kate and William put on sunglasses as play started between defending champion Novak Djokovic and Italian Jannik Sinner.

Kate smiled to William after a tense rally won by the Italian player, which sparked tense “oohs” and “aahs” from the crowd before a huge wave of applause.

It is the first time this year that Kate, a patron of the club, has attended Wimbledon with her brother James spotted there yesterday.

William and Kate's visit to Wimbledon comes as crowds of spectators are expected to flock to the tournament today to watch Norrie as the last British singles player in the tournament hopes to win his quarter final match.
