No one is more in awe of Kate Middleton's strength than her daughter, Princess Charlotte

On Sunday, the Princess of Wales made a rare public appearance at Wimbledon amid her cancer treatment, where she was met with a standing ovation from the audience while taking her seat in the Royal Box at Centre Court. While Middleton was visibly moved by the emotional applause, waving with a huge smile on her face, Charlotte's reaction is what really stole everyone's hearts.

In a video shared from the stands on X (formerly Twitter), the young royal—who wore a blue dress with white polka dots and fluttery sleeves—could be seen beaming with pride as she looked up at her mom with an admiring grin. Princess Kate, for her part, wore a short-sleeved purple midi dress by Safiyaa that coordinated with her All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club pin that was fastened just below the neckline of her outfit. 

According to Karwai Tang, the photographer who captured the sweet moment, Middleton appeared to be in good spirits at the men's single final. “When [Kate] usually comes in, she walks down the steps and into her seat. She doesn’t normally stand and wave. But she stood for a while and took it all in," he said. "For her to acknowledge it and take in the applause was special."

"She seemed to look no different from the last Wimbledon. It felt like she is back," he adds. “For them to cheer and clap when they came in was a great support for her. Wimbledon had been waiting with bated breath for her to return and she was back.”
