ROYAL fans were delighted as Prince George made his Wimbledon debut this year at Sunday’s Men’s Final.

And supporters were also left in stitches as Prince William, 40, cracked a joke to his eight-year-old son when they were backstage.

The youngster, who looked the part as he donned a posh blue suit, shirt and tie in the blazing sunshine, saw fiery Australian Nick Kyrgios take on Serbia’s cool operator Novak Djokovic.

After Djokovic’s victory, the tennis champion let the young royal hold the famous Wimbledon trophy as they chatted.

As George held it by the handles, William joked: “Don’t drop it.”

After looking at the engraved names, George handed the trophy to his mum, saying: “It’s a bit heavy.”

When asked by military personnel if it was his first visit, beaming mum Kate replied: “It’s George’s treat today.”

And the eight-year-old even revealed which player he was supporting after being asked by a member of the Armed Forces.

After a careful pause for thought, the UK’s future King replied: “Djokovic.”

But while appearing to be overjoyed by the tennis, George did make a cheeky complaint about the weather.

As William strokes George’s hair, the eight-year-old quietly tells his dad: “[It’s] too hot.”

Expressing concern, William then replied: “Oh you’re hot, are you? It’s very warm today […] It’ll be fine.”

The couple’s other children, Charlotte, seven, and Louis, four, were not in attendance.

George was also said to have been shocked by bad boy Kyrgios using the F-word while standing in front of the Royal Box.

Kyrgios was later fined £3,325 for “audible obscenity”.

But he won £1,050,000 as runner-up, with Djokovic scooping £2million.

Kate, patron of the All England Club, beamed as she presented the trophy to the Serbian, 35.
