Prince George is ‘all right’ at tennis

Prince George told Wimbledon doubles champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool that he is “all right” at tennis.

Prince George is “all right” at tennis.

The 11-year-old royal joined his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and nine-year-old sister Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday (13.07.25) afternoon and ahead of the game between defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and eventual winner Jannik Sinner, the family were introduced to Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool, who had become the first all-British duo to win the Wimbledon doubles tournament the day before.

Catherine, Princess of Wales – who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – congratulated the pair on their victory and noted the heat they had played through on Saturday (12.07.25).

Julian told her the match was good but “stressful”, and then in a discussion about George playing tennis, the 28-year-old sportsman asked the young prince about his ability on court.

According to the Daily Telegraph, George appeared to shrug and replied: “I’m all right.”

George appears to be keen on several sports, as his father, Prince William, revealed last October he had taken up scuba diving.

Speaking during a public engagement where he met with Olympic swimmers Adam Peaty and Tom Dean, he said: “George loves scuba diving. He’s 11 years old. We took him under thinking he would freak out. He absolutely loves it. It’s just introducing him to the world of water.”

And the previous year, William – who also has five-year-old Prince Louis with his wife – told how George had been training for a triathlon, which involves running, swimming and cycling.

The prince had been speaking to told Non Stanford – who took the women’s world triathlon title in 2016 and came fourth at the 2016 Olympics – about his son’s training as he presented her with her MBC for contributions to the event.

Non told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “He was telling me how George has been doing triathlon at school.

“There is also a gentleman who now works for William, has done a bit of triathlon and has been giving George advice about putting talcum powder in his shoes [to reduce rubbing].

“George has been sharing his talc with his classmates and they are all excited about these tips.

“[William] also asked about the future of triathlon and the talent that is coming through, so we had a very nice chat.”

George has frequently been seen with his father watching their beloved Aston Villa play, and his uncle Mike Tindall recently told how the prince is “passionate” about soccer.

He told the Telegraph magazine: “George loves his football. I’ve played numerous times in the garden with him.

“He’s passionate about Aston Villa, too. Wherever he is, he’ll sit down and watch that game.

“They’re just a family who love sport. Catherine loves her running.”
