SMASHING DAY OUT: PRINCE GEORGE IS A GOOD SPORT

THE CAMBRIDGES SHARE THEIR LOVE OF TENNIS WITH THEIR SON, AS HE ENJOYS THE THRILLING WIMBLEDON MEN'S FINAL

Kicking off the school holidays in style, lucky Prince George enjoyed a trip to the Wimbledon men's final. The eight-year-old future king looked a little nervous as he arrived at the world-famous Centre Court with his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge. They were later joined by his dad, Prince William, in the royal box, where he was greeted with a warm hug.

Giving George a taste of the working royal life that awaits him, the smartly turned out youngster shook hands with members of Wimbledon staff and the military, including some of the ball boys and girls.

When quizzed about who he wanted to win, George hesitated shyly before his father answered, "Djokovic," adding with a grin, "We'll see how long that lasts. He'll support the winner!"

Another member of the team at Wimbledon asked George why his younger sister, Princess Charlotte, was not with them, to which Kate replied, "It's George's treat today."

The well-dressed Cambridges had coordinated in shades of blue. Kate, 40, opted for Alessandra Rich polka dots, while George - who turns nine this week was in a navy suit and tie, and William, 40, wore a pale blue shirt and navy tie.
