Duchess of Cambridge drops in to Wimbledon on second day of tournament

The Duchess of Cambridge has arrived at Wimbledon without Meghan Markle, sitting among the crowd to watch a British player.

The Duchess of Cambridge has wowed crowds at Wimbledom where she made an appearance at day two to sit courtside with British player Katie Boulter.

Kate appeared alone at the event after bringing her new sister-in-law Meghan Markle last year.

Wearing a white dress cinched at the waist and a pair of classic Ray Bans, she sat with Boulter to watch British player Harriet Dart take on American Christina McHale on court 14, outside the royal enclosure.

She then made her way to the practice courts to watch British number one Johanna Konta prepare for her first hit out. The Duchess chatted with Andy Murray and finalists at the Lawn Tennis Association awards, which recognises volunteers for the sport.

Last year, she laughed and chatted courtside with Meghan Markle, but the Duchess of Sussex has been missing from the tournament so far.

Last Saturday, Meghan made a surprise appearance at a major league baseball game in London where she received a New York Yankees shirt for her new baby boy.

Archie Harrison will be christened in a private ceremony on Saturday with speculation Serena Williams could be named godmother.
