Stepping out in a classic polka-dot Dolce & Gabbana frock, a white leather clutch tote by Victoria Beckham, a pair of black stilettos and over-sized sunglasses, the 35-year-old chatted to the ballgirls and boys before heading to the royal box to watch Andy Murray play Russian Alexander Bublik.

Before the game, Kate met with the ballgirls and boys.

The royal cut a classic figure in a polka-dot dress, a white tote and black heels.

Looking to have trimmed a few solid inches off her bouncy brunette locks, the mother-of-two showed off a shorter do with a fresh colour.

Despite drizzle interrupting the game a few times, Catherine appeared in great spirits as she animatedly cheered on from her A-list seats.

This marks Kateโ€™s first time attending the tournament as the patron of the All England Club and Croquet Club, who run the prestigious competition, having recently taken over the reigns of the patronage on behalf of The Queen.

Speaking recently on a BBC documentary about the tennis, Kate explained it was the soundtrack to her childhood.

โ€œGrowing up I, sort of, watched, obviously watched Wimbledon, itโ€™s been very much part of my family growing up,โ€ she explained.

Adding: โ€œItโ€™s such [a] quintessential part of the English summer, and I think it really inspires youngsters, myself, it inspired me, when I was younger, to get involved in the game.โ€

โ€œIt hasnโ€™t changed either, I think thatโ€™s whatโ€™s so wonderful. You know everyoneโ€™s still there in their whites, Wimbledon still looks as amazing as it did as I remember it as a youngster, youโ€™ve got the strawberries and cream. And, you know, every time Wimbledon is on Iโ€™m there thinking, โ€˜Yes, I can do, I can do the sameโ€™. Get that racket. Sadly never, never the same results.โ€

The mother-of-two says tennis is a โ€œquintessential part of the English summer.โ€
