The Princess of Wales was on Centre Court at Wimbledon as history was made.

For the first time in the open era, the Women’s Singles Final was won without the chamption losing a game.

Iga Swiatek of Poland beat Amanda Anisimova of the US in straight sets, 6-0 and 6-0.

It’s also the first time that a Ladies Champion has won without conceding a game for over 100 years.

The Princess of Wales was in the royal box for the final which took just under an hour to complete.

Kate sat next to former champion, Billie Jean King, for the match.

The Princess received a huge cheer as she took her seat in the royal box – it’s her first visit to Wimbledon this year.
