New ArticlesRoyal FamilyKate Middleton is a well-known tennis fan and attends the All England Club almost every year during Wimbledon - but it seems the love of tennis runs in the family as Louis has big Wimbledon dreams04:36, 12 Jul 2026The Princess of Wales revealed her son Prince Louis’ dream is to work at Wimbledon.Wimbledon has always shared a special link with the Royal Family - and one member of the Firm who hardly ever misses the Championships is the Princess of Wales.Kate, 44, is not only a huge tennis fan but a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club - and appears to have taken over the role of handing the singles champions their trophies, following on from the Duke and the late Duchess of Kent.In recent years, she's made several visits during the tournament fortnight, and last week even surprised those waiting in the famous Wimbledon queue before handing out tickets and taking payment.This week during a meet-and-greet with players ahead of the women’s final on Centre Court Kate revealed that Louis, 8, has dreams of being a ball boy at the tournament.Recalling her chat with Kate, Jenna Fontanilla, 18, who works for Wimbledon’s court services team, said: “She told me about how Louis was asking her about how to become a ball boy. We were talking about how much hard work it is to be on court and how we work alongside the ball kids, and it’s just so lovely. She’s so genuine. It felt so easy. I thought I was going to be really nervous, but she made it so easy. The conversation was very natural.”Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, later watched ninth seed Linda Noskova, 21, win her first Grand Slam title against fellow Czech player Karolina Muchova, 29. She was joined by a host of stars including Meg Bellamy, who portrayed her in the final season of Netflix hit The Crown, and Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham.Noskova, who won in three sets, is Wimbledon youngest women’s champion since 2011.Follow our live blog for the latest royal family updates by clicking here.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Princess DianaDavina McCallMichael DouglasJodie FosterNetflixThe CrownRoyal FamilyWimbledon
