The reason why Prince Louis did not accompany Kate Middleton during her latest public appearance comes to light

After Kate Middleton and her family's latest public appearance, many people haven't stopped asking the same question: Where is Prince Louis? This mystery has now been solved.

Last Sunday, July 13, the Princess of Wales was seen at the men's final of Wimbledon 2025. In this match, Italian Jannik Sinner claimed victory.

During the day, Kate Middleton was accompanied at all times by Prince William and their two eldest children, George and Charlotte. However, many royal followers noticed the absence of someone very important: Prince Louis.

Now, after all the questions that have arisen around this topic, British outlet The Express has shared with its readers a possible explanation for this mystery.

According to the aforementioned media outlet, Prince Louis, who is only seven years old, wouldn't yet be old enough to attend the Wimbledon tournament. In addition, this hypothesis suggests that his public debut at this important sporting event could happen within a year.

In an attempt to support their theory, The Express has recalled that the eldest children of Kate Middleton and Prince William went to Wimbledon for the first time at eight years old.

In fact, the first time Prince George attended the championship was in 2022, while Charlotte did so in 2023. This information would reinforce the idea that Prince Louis will follow a similar pattern.

Even so, not everyone has been satisfied with this explanation. In fact, many internet users have expressed their disappointment on social media. "Actually, I was hoping for Prince Louis's debut," wrote a user on X.

Others, however, have lamented the little one's absence, although they're aware of this family tradition: "Poor Prince Louis. I think Prince George and Princess Charlotte didn't attend until they were 8 years old each."

On the other hand, some people have shared messages full of sympathy for Kate Middleton's youngest son. "Where is Prince Louis? He's so funny. I relate to him because he's the youngest in the family," another user said.

Meanwhile, George and Charlotte enjoyed the event from the royal box, where they watched the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Before taking their seats, they walked with their parents through the halls of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

At the end of the championship, the little ones were able to see their mother fulfill her institutional role. Kate Middleton presented the trophy to champion Jannik Sinner, in a highlight of the tournament.
