The Duchess of Cambridge isn't the only tennis fan in the family. Her siblings Pippa Matthews and James Middleton have been spotted in the royal box of centre court on day seven of the Wimbledon Championships.

Pippa, 35, dressed in a similar style to older sister Kate, 37, choosing a pink ensemble by Stella McCartney. She teamed the outfit with a wide-brimmed hat which she removed once seated.

According to Wimbledon's strict protocol, hats are discouraged in the royal box so as not to "obscure the vision of those seated behind them", according to the championship website.
