Kate Middleton Got a Standing Ovation at Wimbledon—This Celeb’s Reaction Stood Out

It’s been a little over a week since Kate Middleton sat at center court at Wimbledon alongside her daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa Middleton to watch the men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. The occasion marked the Princess of Wales’s second official appearance of the year, a significant moment following her cancer diagnosis, which she revealed in a televised announcement in March.

Kate received a highly deserved standing ovation from the crowd as she took her seat at Centre Court.

Of course, many moments tied to her arrival stood out: her stunning purple Safiyaa dress, her daughter Charlotte beaming up at her and looking so proud of her mom, and a star-studded royal box that included Benedict Cumberbatch, Sophie Turner, and even Julia Roberts and Danny Moder. It was a delightful blend of Hollywood royalty and actual royalty.

However, it was Julia Roberts who caught my eye as Kate descended the stairs to take her seat. Her look of surprise and sheer delight led me to rewind the footage of Kate’s royal entrance a few times. You can catch it yourself at the 0:05 second mark.

As Kate walked by, Roberts, who was beside Moder, quickly rose to her feet. What stood out was the swift change on her face from joy to immense admiration. It was clear that Roberts appreciated the significance of this moment for Kate.

As for Moder, who had an aisle seat, he maintained his composure even as he suddenly found himself front and center on camera as Kate walked by—a part of footage that would be replayed around the world. No pressure there.

Stars, they’re just like us? Kind of. It’s lovely that Roberts, who looked ever-so-stylish by the way, could join Kate in the royal box and cheer her on. Her genuine reaction and beaming smile made the moment even better.

So many Kate Middleton photos were taken this weekend that it was easy to miss who was sitting right behind her.
