Sophie, 20, said she was excited to be near the royal.

The pair were then seen clapping in unison as Serena Williams easily won her match over Elena Vesnina.

This is her first visit to the 2016 championships, and having seen her parents and sister attend, it was about time the keen tennis fan made the journey to South London.

Eagle-eyed fans will have noticed she wore a distinctive lemon and white block patterned dress which she has worn before - on the royal tour of Australia in 2014.

Infact, it is her "banana dress", so dubbed by her husband Prince William when she has worn it in the past.

The Dutchess wore the £900 yellow Roksanda dress last for a visit to the Sydney Royal Opera House.

Arriving at the All England Club Kate spoke with ball boys and girls.

She also chatted with Oracene Price, the mother of Venus and Serena Williams, and looked to be enjoying the discussion.

She was also seen grinning in a Snapchat video alongside tennis star Serena Williams.

The video, posted on Twitter, shows Serena introduced to the Duchess and Sophie, Countess of Wessex.

Serena says: "OK so I'm in the 'in crowd' now. I'm with royalty."

The two royals laugh in the rare candid video taken at Wimbledon today.

The Duchess met British former tennis star Greg Rusedski and told him that George is already a fan of the game.

She sat in the Royal Box in front of Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb and his wife Linda to watch defending champion Serena Williams take on Elena Vesnina.

Also in the Royal Box this afternoon are Dame Maggie Smith and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner.

Serena defeated Elena in straight sets of 6-2 and 6-0.

The following match sees Venus Williams play Angelique Kerber.

If Venus is victorious the sisters will battle it out for first and second place in the final - a situation they are both familiar with.

The Duchess, 34, also revealed son Prince George could be a future Wimbledon competitor.

She told ex-British No1 Greg Rusedski the two-year-old has a racket and “enjoys playing”.
