▲A young-faced Duchess of Cambridge (at the time just Kate Middleton) anxiously watches a match between Robin Söderling (Sweden) and Rafael Nadal (Spain) in 2007.

▲Kate has always been an avid Wimbledon watcher, often seen attending the tournament with friends before marrying Prince William. The determination on her face says it all!

▲Her Majesty the Queen, however, appears less than impressed with the game.

▲Though she served as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon for over 60 years, the Queen has only attended the tournament four times.

▲When she attended in 1977, she presented the winning trophy to Virginia Wade (Great Britain), but seemed seriously unamused by the length of the players' tennis skirts.

▲Her last appearance was in 2010, when she watched a match between Andy Murray (Great Britain) and Jarkko Nieminen (Finland). The experience didn't seem up to her standards...

▲Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has also been captured pulling some hilarious reactions, such as here in 2011.

▲It seems as though she enjoyed the match between Venus Williams (USA) and Kimiko Date-Krumm (Japan).

▲In 2011, Wimbledon brought out a range of emotions on royal faces. The new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were very concerned while watching Andy Murray play Richard Gasquet (France).

▲Here they looked absolutely radiant as Kate cajoled her new husband into doing the wave on Centre Court.

▲Prince Charles joined his wife for a rare Wimbledon appearance in 2012. The couple looked worried as they watched Roger Federer (Switzerland) play Fabio Fognini (Italy).

▲On day nine of the 2012 tournament, Kate and Will watched a nail-biting match between Roger Federer (Switzerland) and Mikhail Youzhny (Russia).

▲The Duchess resorted to a whole range of expressions, including lip-biting...

▲...grimacing...

▲...and finally face-palming to show her disappointment.

▲Kate and her sister Pippa (left) look tense while watching the 2012 Gentlemen's Singles final between Roger Federer and Andy Murray.

▲It looks as though the Duchess of Cornwall got caught by some rain here in 2013.

▲At Wimbledon, it's always hard to tell whether the rain is sufficiently strong enough to stop the match.

▲Prince William gives a thumbs up while Kate looks bemused during a match in 2014.

▲Princess Eugenie (center) and then-boyfriend Jack Brooksbank (right) keep straight faces while watching Eugenie Bouchard (Canada) compete against Petra Kvitová (Czech Republic) in 2014.

▲A tense moment during the 2014 Gentlemen's Singles final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic (Serbia) sent the Cambridges into stony stares.

▲Glamorous appearances couldn't hide the Duchess of Cornwall's mood on day four of the tournament in 2015.

▲The Duke of Cambridge looked tense as he watched Andy Murray play Vasek Pospisil (Canada) in 2015.

▲But he and Kate were all smiles once Murray had won the match!

▲By contrast, the Duchess of Cornwall looked like she'd lost all hope at the tournament in 2016.

▲Despite her sunny dress color, Kate also seemed cautious as she watched a match between Serena Williams (USA) and Elena Vesnina (Russia) in 2016.

▲Relief spreads over her face as she shares a joke with Philip Brook, Chairman of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

▲Nerves won out later on in the tournament as the Duchess watched Andy Murray battle against Milos Raonic (Canada) in the Gentlemen's Singles final.

▲Even Prince William purses his lips as he watches Murray play. Luckily, the British tennis star came through to win the tournament that year.

▲Kate looks serious as Philip Brook explains some finer tactical points during an Andy Murray match in 2017.

▲Meghan Markle shares a private joke with her sister-in-law Kate as the two watch Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber (Germany) battle it out in the 2018 Ladies' Singles Finals.

▲The Duchesses appear to be enjoying the match.

▲Kate looked stressed as she watched Novak Djokovic go head to head with Kevin Anderson (South Africa) in the Gentlemen's Singles Final in 2018.

▲

But luckily Prince William soon had her laughing again!
