JUST IN:Michael Middleton Once Publicly Embarrassed Princess Kate Middleton At Wimbledon and she…See more
Embarrassing parents, mistaken identity, and top-tier tennis players.
Where do these three things converge? In a story Catherine, Princess of Wales shared about attending the Wimbledon tennis tournament with her father, Michael Middleton.
While being interviewed by Sue Barker for the BBC’s “Our Wimbledon” documentary, Kate Middleton remembered watching Wimbledon throughout her life and recounted the time Michael got two professional players confused.
“I can remember actually walking past Tim Henman,” she laughed, “and we had just seen [Pete] Sampras play. My dad, as he came past, said very coolly: ‘Hi Pete.’ I was like, ‘Dad! You can’t do that!’ Utterly — I was mortified!”
That faux pas didn’t keep Kate from bringing Michael to Wimbledon in later years, though. In 2021, they were photographed sitting together and watching the men’s final events on the last day of Wimbledon.
They even joined other attendees in doing the wave. Afterward, Kate took to X, formerly Twitter, to share her experience: “It was amazing to see the atmosphere and support from the fans echoing through centre court once again.”
Sports are one thing that bonds Michael and Kate together. Catherine, Princess of Wales’ role at Wimbledon is as the patron of the group that runs the event, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
She has had the honor of bestowing trophies to the singles winners during previous tournaments, in addition to watching from the Royal Box with her family and friends.
Not only is watching tennis something Kate Middleton and Michael Middleton have done together, but they’ve also played together.
It’s been reported that Michael is the one who taught her how to play.
The father-daughter duo seem to have a good relationship, and tennis isn’t the only sporty activity they’ve done together.
In a Hoka blog post written by Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, in 2021, Pippa shared that Kate and Michael climbed an imposing mountain together: “My parents inspired my love for walking in the mountains and both joined me and my brother to the first hut when we climbed Mont Blanc (my father summited it with my sister a few years before).”
