Anyone watching Princess Charlotte alongside her mother, Princess Kate, at Wimbledon on Sunday couldn’t help but notice that Kate’s only daughter mirrored her over and over again—truly a “like mother, like daughter” scenario, from back to front.

And Kate revealed that there’s yet another way in which her only daughter is taking after her while the two were at Wimbledon alongside Kate’s younger sister Pippa Middleton Matthews—Charlotte is following in her mom’s footsteps by getting into tennis, Hello reports.

Considering that Wimbledon is one of the most famous tennis tournaments globally, it’s no surprise that the sport was the topic du jour Sunday, as Kate made her second public appearance of 2024 at the fabled annual event. While chatting at Wimbledon, Kate revealed that Charlotte had been “practicing yesterday” and that tennis was “really great for the youngsters,” likely referring to not just Charlotte but Prince George and Prince Louis, as well. After all, we know that Kate and Prince William have a tennis court at their country home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk, and that George has even taken a one-on-one lesson with tennis legend Roger Federer in the past; Federer said of George’s abilities “At that stage, it’s all about just touching the ball,” he said. “It’s already good. Same with my boys. I think I have a little advantage that I actually spent some time, you know, with him.”
Kate, too, reportedly used to take tennis lessons at the Hurlingham Club in Fulham when the Wales family of five still resided in London at Kensington Palace, before moving to Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate in 2022. She has rarely missed Wimbledon, which is an annual staple in her summer diary—the only time she missed the tournament was in 2013, while heavily pregnant with George.
