Kate Middleton caught revealing her own Wimbledon confession, according to lip reader
Though men's finalists Carlos Alcaraz and Nokak Djokovic were the intended centres of attention on Wimbledon's Centre Court yesterday, the Princess of Wales undoubtedly stole the spotlight, making her second public appearance this year at the tennis championships.
And while many viewers watching from home couldn't help but note how happy and healthy Kate Middleton looked amid her ongoing cancer treatment, others spotted the mother-of-three making a rather unexpected confession from the Royal box.
The 42-year-old was joined by daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa Middleton for the Royal outing to London's prestigious tennis courts on Sunday (14 July), whilst her husband Prince William and eldest son Prince George represented the monarchy at England's game at Euros 2024 finale in Germany.

At one point during the high-intensity tennis match, the camera panned to the mother and daughter, to see the Princess of Wales whispering something closely in Charlotte's ear.
According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, the Princess told her nine-year-old: "It's happening at the end, Djokovic is my favourite to win."
Many believed it to be an interesting take - being that 21-year-old Alcaraz has brilliantly made his way up through the ranks since first emerging onto the scene in 2018 - and later, Kate's prediction was proven to be off the mark.
At the end of a nail-biting game, Alcaraz gave tennis legend Djokovic an absolute whopping, winning his second Wimbledon crown in a row.
Afterwards, the Princess ventured down from the stands to present the victor with a handshake and his trophy.
Introducing her daughter to the Spanish champion, she told Alcaraz: "This is Charlotte, [she was] cheering you on. You had everything crossed."
Alcaraz then replied: "Nice to meet you."
"We've watched a lot on telly, so it's great to finally get to meet you," Kate continued.
Earlier in the day, the brunette trio made their way through the stands to take their seats in the reserved, high-class box - which Queen Camilla was spotted sitting in earlier last week - the Princess of Wales received a heartwarming standing ovation.
It's only been four months since Kate revealed the news that she'd been diagnosed with and was undergoing treatment for cancer, making a heartbreaking announcement to the public back in March.
Dressed in a plush violet gown by designer Safiyaa, however, Sunday's sporting event thankfully saw some colour having returned to the Princess' face, as she enjoyed the tennis match with her closest family members.
