I Was So Distracted by Princess Charlotte's Signature Move That I Totally Missed Prince George's Fan Moment
The heat was intense


This year’s Wimbledon was filled with noteworthy appearances from the royal family. From Queen Camilla making a surprise pop-up at the quarter-final matchup between Belinda Bencic and Mirra Andreeva, to Duchess Sarah Ferguson and Princess Beatrice appearing on the first day of the tournament to watch Carlos Alcaraz take on Fabio Fognini and 10-year-old Princess Charlotte busting out her tried-and-true “Charlotte Wave” during the championship matchup, the tournament truly delivered on all fronts. Speaking of Princess Charlotte’s signature wave, I was so distracted by the move, that I almost missed Prince George’s battle with the intense UK summer heat.
The average temperature in London during the tournament was between 70 and 85 degrees, and poor Prince George was wearing a three-piece suit, which had to be sweltering.
