Kate Middleton’s return to Wimbledon earned a standing ovation, but Princess Charlotte’s reaction has proven a surprising scene-stealer.
The public was startled to learn in March 2024 that Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, was privately battling cancer. She broke the news courtesy of a video announcement, stepping away from the public eye to focus on her recovery and family. Her many adoring fans missed seeing her greatly and were delighted to see her with her husband Prince William and their three children—Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte—at the Trooping the Colour celebrations in June. This marked her first public appearance in six months. Meanwhile, her latest has defied the odds to become even more memorable, in part, thanks to her adoring daughter…
Princess Charlotte’s ‘proud’ reaction to Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon appearance
Amid Kate’s cancer treatment and increased privacy, she took the time to attend the prestigious tennis tournament Wimbledon on Sunday, July 14th 2024.
When walking in to take her seat in the Royal Box, she and 9-year-old Charlotte were met with a standing ovation from the crowd. They all erupted into cheers and applause upon their entry, much to Kate’s happiness.
She beamed from ear to ear, humbly waving in appreciation for the loving welcome. And while the moment has proven iconic, it’s Charlotte’s reaction and clear awe of her mom that’s become an unlikely takeaway from the spectacle.
Kate and Charlotte attended the gentlemen’s singles final, and the mom of three presented the men’s trophy to Carlos Alcaraz. Charlotte’s smile and reaction to her mother during the event is bursting with pride, and everybody can see it.
“Beautiful little Princess Charlotte is so proud of her magnificent mamma,” one reacted, lost in her adorable smile.
“She looks so proud,” one tweeted, echoed in countless other tweets.
Calling both the moment and Charlotte “priceless,” another felt compelled to point out “What an unforgettable moment it must have been not only for Catherine but also for Charlotte.”
People can’t get over her resemblance to Queen Elizabeth II
Although it was Charlotte’s pride that left so many spectators moved, plenty have also argued she looks and reminds them so much of her great-grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who sadly passed away in September 2022 at 96.
“I see Her Lord Majesty The Queen in Charlotte,” one tweeted, and they didn’t skimp on dishing out why. “Her attitude, her mouth area, her sense of duty, everything!” they added. “This little gem is blessed.”
“Princess Charlotte is adorable and yet exhibits such a strong, commanding presence at such a young age,” another reacted. “She reminds me of her Great-Grandmother.”
Others took upon drawing parallels to pictures of Elizabeth in her youth.
“Suddenly so grown up,” another proudly said of Charlotte, admiring the person she’s fast becoming. The mother-daughter duo seriously stole the show—more precious moments are inevitable, and wide smiles are sure to meet them.
