Spain’s King Felipe made a royal appearance at Wimbledon 2025 to cheer on tennis star Carlos Alcaraz in the gentlemen’s singles final.
Seated in the prestigious Royal Box on Centre Court, the Spanish monarch joined the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to watch the match between Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner on July 13.
This marks King Felipe’s return to the tournament after last attending in 2023, where he also witnessed Alcaraz defeat Novak Djokovic in a historic final. While the King missed Alcaraz’s 2024 Wimbledon win, Spain’s royal house still congratulated the tennis star with a heartfelt message celebrating his "perfect blend of courage and talent."

During a post-match interview in 2023, Alcaraz had expressed his appreciation for the royal support, saying: “Felipe, I’m really proud that you are here supporting me… I hope you are coming more,” drawing laughter from the King and the crowd.
The 2025 final was attended by notable British royals as well. Catherine, Princess of Wales—patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club—was present for both the ladies' and gentlemen’s finals this year. She previously shared that Princess Charlotte had been cheering for Alcaraz during his 2024 victory.
Catherine, Prince William, Charlotte, and George were seen enjoying the thrilling match, underscoring the close connection between the royal family and the iconic tennis event.
With Alcaraz continuing to dominate the court and royalty showing support from both Spain and the UK, the 2025 Wimbledon final was as much a regal affair as it was a sporting spectacle.
