The future queen, wearing a mint green blazer, made her way down to her seat only moments before Federer was feted ahead of the opening match on Day 2 of the grass-court tournament.
Rybakina won that opening match 4-6, 6-1, 6-2, and two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was up next against Ryan Peniston. In 2013, Murray won the first of his two Wimbledon titles, ending a 77-year wait for a British men’s champion at the All England Club.
His second Wimbledon title came in 2016, and he also won the Olympic gold medal at the 2012 London Games on the same Centre Court grass - beating Federer in the final. Federer, who turns 42 on Aug. 8, announced his retirement from tennis at the end of last year following a series of knee operations. Besides Princess Kate and the Federers, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was also in the Royal Box - sitting behind the trio.
Zaghari-Ratcliffe is a British-Iranian charity worker who was detained in Tehran for almost six years. She was freed last year.
