Eight-time champion of the Wimbledon tournament, former tennis player Roger Federer was honored at the opening of the 2023 season this Tuesday (4). The Swiss received applause from the public when he entered the main court’s tribune of honor in the traditional competition played on grass, in London. He, who retired in 2022, sat between Princess Kate Middleton and his wife Mirka. And the interaction between the trio was a show in itself.
The Princess of Wales gave an effusive and warm welcome to Federer, who reciprocated the kindness. But the same did not happen with his partner. Mirka was spotted scowling several times while Kate and Roger were talking. She even turned her face away when receiving her husband’s affection, showing signs that the atmosphere was not very good between them.
In the week before the start of the tournament, Federer and Kate Middleton participated together in training with young ballers from Wimbledon. Prince William’s wife is recognized as a tennis enthusiast and even had her style of play praised by the Swiss, when they “hit a little ball” recently.
Kate Middleton and Roger Federer –
During the opening ceremony of the tournament, Mirka was probably reminded of when, in 2017, Kate broke protocol and kissed Roger Federer three times on the cheeks for his eighth London win. In addition to the Princess of Wales, other distinguished guests were also present at the event, such as Prince Michael of Kent and his daughter Lady Gabriella, former British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha.
