Princess Beatrice has ended the Royal Family’s hiatus from Wimbledon this year as she stepped out with her husband Edoardo today.
Senior royals have deep links to Wimbledon and the Princess of Wales has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club since 2016.
However, appearances from members of the Royal Family have been unusually lacking during the tennis tournament this summer.
Princess Catherine’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton attended Day Four of Wimbledon last Thursday.

No senior members of the Royal Family have attended the event so far, but on Day Nine of the tournament, Princess Beatrice was pictured watching the action unfold alongside her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
It remains to be seen whether the Princess of Wales will present the singles trophies to the winners over the weekend.
Kensington Palace and Wimbledon have not confirmed whether the royal will step out in the coming days.
Princess Catherine has only made one public appearance this year, which came last month at Trooping the Colour.

The royal was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year and has stepped back from royal duties for the foreseeable future.
However, the Palace did indicate that Kate was planning to undertake two or three engagements this summer.
As Wimbledon is a competition close to her heart, the Princess of Wales may choose the tennis tournament as her next public appearance.
Last year, Kate was joined by Prince William and their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, to watch the men’s singles final.
If the Prince and Princess of Wales cannot present the trophies Princess Beatrice or the Duchess of Gloucester have been mooted as potential alternatives.

Princess Beatrice could be a potential alternative royal to present the trophies at Wimbledon this year.
Prince William will be unavailable to step in if England’s football team reaches the final of Euro 2024.
Gareth Southgate’s squad takes on the Netherlands in the semi-finals on Wednesday. If they are victorious they will play either Spain or France for a chance of winning England’s first major international tournament since 1966.
William, who is President of the Football Association, would attend the match and therefore miss the Wimbledon men’s singles final which takes place on July 14, the same day as the Euro 2024 final.
