Dart lost the first set 4-6, but after the Duchess left, the Briton turned things around to win the match.

The crowd was completely unaware of the fact that they were having a royalty among them.

Kate, 37, is a long-time tennis fan. She became the official patron of the All England Club in 2017, taking over from Queen Elizabeth II.

The Middleton family members are frequent visitors to the Club, often getting an invite into the Royal Box.
