Kate Middletonmade sure to acknowledge a few familiar faces during her 2022 debutat Wimbledon.

Kate andPrince Williamreturned toone of her favorite events of the summeron Tuesday, as did the Duchess of Cambridge’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton. Although they were all seated in the Royal Box, Kate wasn’t next to her parents — however, she did make sure to blow them a kiss and wave just after she took her seat at the famed tennis tournament.

The entire Middleton family attends Wimbledon most every year — in fact, Carole and Michael previously watched matches last week, while Kate’s brother James and his wife Alizee attended the sporting event on Monday.

Kate andPrince William, both 40, areplanning to relocatefrom their London home at Kensington Palace to a new residence some 30 miles west in Berkshire, the county that houses the Queen’s primary residence, Windsor Castle.

Although their three children’s schooling was the primary reason to make the change, there are other benefits: they’ll be closer to Kate’s parents, who live inBucklebury, where Kate and her two siblings grew up.

“That was so important because that helped them understand me and how my mind was working. And I think the way the therapy helped me was that I didn’t need my family to say, ‘What can we do?’ The only thing they could do was just come to some of the therapy sessions to start to understand,” he explained.
