Kate Middleton and Prince William Miss Wimbledon Day 1, Other Royals Attend

It’s a long-standing tradition that members of the royal family attend the Wimbledon tennis championships in London each year. The British royal family’s Wimbledon attendance dates back to the early 1900s. Fast forward to 2017 when Princess Kate Middleton inherited the All England Club as a patronage when the late Queen Elizabeth II — who held the position since 1952 — resigned from the post after her 90th birthday. As for her work with Wimbledon, Kate is dedicated to not only attending the championships, but makes multiple visits to charities and sporting programs throughout the year that are supported by the organization. Prince Edward, meanwhile, has been the All England Club president since 1969. While he previously presented winners of the tennis championships their trophies at the end of the tournament, this is a role that Kate has taken on in recent years.
