Kate Middleton has wowed Wimbledon fans as she attended the fourth day of the tournament today, breaking with tradition.
The Princess of Wales, who recently finished the Three Peaks Challenge, opted not to sit in the Royal Box, instead watching a match on the outside courts next to former player Tim Henman.
Kate greeted fans who had queued for hours in the hopes of getting a ticket to the competition on its fourth day.
After entering the grounds, Kate was welcomed by a round of applause and cheers as she walked past Henman Hill.
The princess, who is known for her love of sports and the outdoors, is a regular fixture at Wimbledon and even joined stewards to help hand out tickets to the lucky people who managed to gain entry after a long wait.
Kate told two tennis fans to ‘have a great time’ as she handed them a ticket on Thursday morning.
In the queue, she could be seen smiling and laughing as she greeted visitors and took pictures with them.
Speaking to two excited children, she asked them if they were big tennis fans, to which they smiled and nodded.
One attendee congratulated the princess on her recent Three Peaks challenge. Kate also spoke to honorary stewards, who volunteer each year to manage the infamous queue.
Onlookers stopped to take pictures as Kate entered the grounds of the famous sports venue.
The princess is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and regularly attends Wimbledon.
