Four members of the Middleton family paid a visit to SW19 on Sunday to watch the Wimbledon men’s singles final.

The Duchess of Cambridge, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, sat alongside her husband in the front row of the royal box on Centre Court, enjoying her third visit to the championships this year.

Kate, wearing a powder blue 1950s-style dress from a collection by London-based designer Emilia Wickstead, earlier chatted to a group of Wimbledon ball boys and girls before the match got underway.

The duchess’s sister and brother, Pippa Matthews and James Middleton – as well as her mother Carole, were all also courtside taking in the tennis action.

Also gracing the royal box was Avengers star Tom Hiddleston who chatted to Sophie Hunter, wife of Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
