Match Day Kate led William, George and Charlotte through Wimbledon on July 13, where the kids got balls signed by champ Jannik Sinner.

Walking to Wimbledon's royal box on July 12, Princess Kate smiled humbly as cheering from eager tennis fans began as a ripple and grew into a roar. After greeting tennis legend Billie Jean King, Kate, 43, waved once to the crowd, then againand, after a little gulp, gave a third wave before taking her seat. "She looked taken aback by the reception," says photographer Karwai Tang, who captured the moment. "She seemed almost bashful about receiving that applause."
