Ecstatic Princess Kate beams as she hands new Wimbledon men's champion Carlos Alcaraz the winner's trophy after stunning five-set win against Novak Djokovic
- She was joined by her family on the day the young Spaniard took the crown
The Princess of Wales looked delighted for Wimbledon's newest champion, Carlos Alcaraz as she handed him his winner's trophy after a gripping final at SW19.
The Spaniard bowed in front of the Princess, who had matched her elegant £750 emerald Roland Mouret flock with a pair of similar coloured earrings for tournament's climax.
She could be seen congratulating the tournament's champion as she handed over the prize, before she stepped back and applauded the new number one.
Moments before handing over the prestigious trophy, Princess Catherine gave her commiserations to Alcaraz's adversary, Novak Djokovic, with the Serbian bowing his head as he accepted the award.
Before she carried out her duties as the patron for the All England Lawn Tennis Club, the Princess was greeted by a huge round of applause.

The win follows his first grand slam title after winning the US Open last year.
The last time 36-year-old Djokovic lost on centre court, Carlos was still in primary school.
