🎾 The Royal Family at Wimbledon — Minus One
The Wimbledon 2025 Gentlemen’s Singles Final had a royal touch as Prince William, Princess Kate, and their eldest children—Prince George and Princess Charlotte—graced the Royal Box at Centre Court on July 13. But many fans were quick to notice one adorable royal was missing from the scene: Prince Louis.
At just 7 years old, Louis is yet to make his Wimbledon debut, even though he’s already charmed the world at several major royal events.
🧒 Why Wasn’t Prince Louis at Wimbledon?
While no official reason was given by Kensington Palace, royal insiders and observers say it comes down to age and tradition. Both Prince George and Princess Charlotte made their first Wimbledon appearances at age 8, making it likely that Louis will attend for the first time in 2026, just before his 8th birthday.
📌 Fun Fact:
- Prince George attended Wimbledon in 2022, just weeks before turning 9.
- Princess Charlotte made her debut in 2023, at age 8.
👀 Given Wimbledon’s formal setting—especially in the exclusive Royal Box, which seats just 74 guests and usually avoids young children—age-appropriate behavior and attention span are important considerations.
🏡 Where Was Prince Louis?
While his family enjoyed Centre Court, Prince Louis likely spent the day at home in Adelaide Cottage, either with:
👩🍼 The family’s long-time nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, or
👵👴 His grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, with whom he shares a close bond.
During the 2024 “Together at Christmas” carol service, Louis even wrote a sweet note on the “Kindness Tree”:
“Thank you to Granny and Grandpa because they have played games with me.”
A wholesome glimpse into the young royal’s simple joys 💖
👑 He’s No Stranger to Big Royal Moments
Despite missing Wimbledon, Prince Louis has already made memorable appearances at:
- 🎉 Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee (2022)
- 👑 King Charles III’s Coronation (2023)
- 🎈 Trooping the Colour 2024, where his joyful expressions and cheeky waves stole the show!
His natural charisma has made him a favorite among royal fans—and memes! 😄
🤝 Siblings Helping Him Learn the Royal Ropes
Big brother George, 11, and sister Charlotte, 10, are often seen helping Louis navigate the public eye. Whether correcting him during formal events or guiding him during national ceremonies, the sibling bond is strong—and adorable. 🥰
The Wales children are gradually growing into their roles, and royal watchers can expect Louis to follow suit in due time, including an eventual debut at one of the family’s favorite summer traditions—Wimbledon. 🎾
🗓️ So When Will We See Prince Louis at Wimbledon?
🎉 Likely in 2026, when he turns 8—just like his siblings did.
Until then, we’ll probably keep seeing him at other fun and formal occasions, with his signature smile and playful spirit lighting up royal events.
👑 Final Thoughts
Prince Louis’ absence from Wimbledon wasn’t a snub—just a sign of royal timing and tradition. As the youngest Wales sibling continues to grow and learn, there’s no doubt he’ll soon join his family for a day of strawberries, sunshine, and Centre Court magic. 🌞🍓🎾
Until then, the world will be waiting—and watching—for Prince Louis’ Wimbledon debut.
