The Princess of Wales offers quiet compassion following emotional finale
Princess Catherine offered a heartfelt moment of support to Amanda Anisimova after the American tennis star suffered a devastating loss in the Wimbledon final.
Anisimova was defeated 6-0, 6-0 by Poland's Iga Świątek, in what has been called one of the most one-sided finals in the tournament's history. The visibly emotional athlete was presented with the runner-up trophy by the Princess of Wales, who made a solo appearance at the prestigious event.
As Anisimova broke down in tears, Catherine's composed and compassionate presence provided a quiet moment of reassurance before Świątek received the winner's trophy.
This isn't the first time the Princess has shown such empathy on court. In 2023, she embraced Tunisia's Ons Jabeur after her consecutive Wimbledon final defeats — a rare show of affection that broke from traditional royal protocol but deeply resonated with fans.
Earlier in the day, Catherine made a striking entrance at Center Court, marking her first appearance at this year's Championships. Attending without Prince William or their children, she drew admiration for her solo presence and elegant style.
While Prince George and Princess Charlotte have previously attended Wimbledon, Prince Louis has yet to make his debut at the iconic sporting event.
Once again, Princess Catherine proved that grace, compassion, and poise continue to define her role — both within the Royal Family and on the global stage.
