PIPPA Middleton suffered a prize moment at Wimbledon as she tried to face champion Carlos Alcaraz.
As Princess Kate, 42, returned triumphantly to the tennis tournament on Sunday, she was supported by her daughter Princess Charlotte, nine, and sister Pippa, 40.

Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte spoke to the current Spanish champion outside the court and shared how they were watching her performance at home.
After the sweet interaction, Prince William’s wife tried to introduce Pippa to Carlos, but he didn’t notice and walked away waving to the crowd.
Speaking to Carlos, Kate said: “This is Charlotte, [she was] cheering for you. You had everything crossed.
Champion Carlos replied: “Nice to meet you.”
Kate, who is undergoing cancer treatment and recovering from chores, said: “We watch a lot of telly so it’s great to finally meet you.”
During the interaction, Pippa politely stood back smiling and waited for the moment to be introduced.
As the conversation drew to a close, Kate said, “Good luck, enjoy the weather.”
Carlos replied, “Thank you,” before waving to Princess Charlotte.
Meanwhile, Kate then took some steps back to apparently introduce his sister to Carlos as well.
As he took a step forward, the tennis player began to walk away amid the applause of the crowd and didn’t realize that he had missed the moment to meet Pippa.
KATE’S RETURN AT WIMBLEDON
Moments earlier, Kate handed 21-year-old champion Carlos his gold cup as he retained his Wimbledon title against rival Novak Djokovic.
This marks his second public appearance of the year amid ongoing cancer treatment.
Kate said she was “happy to be back” at Wimbledon today, as the royals were greeted with a standing ovation and a wild crowd.
The royal stunned in a £1,300 custom purple Safiyaa Cecilia dress and wore it hair in loose curls, combining elegant outfit with gold jewelry.

She also donned her little bow pin to commemorate the occasion.
Only those who are part of the Whole England The Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), of which Kate is a patron, can wear the badge.
This characteristics the private club colors, “Wimbledon Purple” and “Wimbledon Green”.
The mother-of-three was spotted laughing with her nine-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte as the pair sat to resounding applause.
The young royal appeared in a navy blue and white polka dot dress, accessorized with a blue bow hair accessory.
Pippa also surprised in a pink floral dress as she joined her sister and niece.
The Princess of Wales shared a message to mark her appearance and support on social media, saying: “Great to be back at @Wimbledon!” it read.
“There’s nothing like the Championship.”
Special role that Pippa Middleton could have when Kate is queen
KATE Middleton is extremely close to her family, including her mother Carole and sister Pippa.
And when Prince William’s wife one day becomes queen, her beloved family members could be in line to receive some special honors.
Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous that Pippa Middleton could be given a similar role to Queen Camilla’s younger sister Annabel Elliott, who is one of her six “companions.”
He said: “I certainly think there could be a role for Pippa as a lady-in-waiting or companion.
“This needs to be someone the queen can trust and rely on, and who better than her sister?
“Pippa has some business interests but I’m sure when Kate becomes Queen she would be happy to fulfill that role if necessary.
“It’s not necessarily a full-time job, so she would be available.
“We all know what a sensation she was at their wedding in 2011 and since then she has kept a relatively low profile and is, of course, happily married.”
Another person he thought might be in line for a “companion” position is Kate’s stylist and close friend Natasha Archer, as she is “another person she trusts and would be ideal for a support role.”
KATE’S HEALTH BATTLE
It’s the mother-of-three’s first public appearance since she attended Trooping the Color for King Charles’ birthday last month.
In June, the princess was seen beaming alongside the monarch on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
It was Princess Kate’s first time attending a royal event since she and Charles were diagnosed with cancer.
Her appearance on Trooping the Color came after she released an update on her health battle.
In a personal statement, Kate said: “I have been overwhelmed by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last few
some months.
“It really made a big difference to William and me and helped us through some of the most difficult times.
“I’m making good progress, but as anyone undergoing chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days.

“On those bad days you feel weak, tired and have to give in
your body resting. But on good days, when you feel your strongest, you want to make the most of feeling good.
“My treatment is ongoing and will last a few more months. On days when I feel good, it is a joy to participate in school life, to dedicate my personal time to the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to work a little from home.
“I’m looking forward to taking part in the King’s Birthday Parade this weekend with my family and hope to attend some public engagements during the summerbut equally knowing that I’m not out of the woods yet.
