Royal Court Date! Princess Kate and Prince William Enjoy Kid-Free Wimbledon Outing

Prince William and Princess Kate left the kids at home on Wednesday for a soggy afternoon date at Wimbledon's Centre Court. (But hey, no kids!) 

The parents of Prince George and Princess Charlotte – who just celebrated Charlotte's christening on Sunday – were in the stands to watch local favorite Andy Murray play his quarter-final match against Canada's Vasek Pospisil. (The score is currently 3-1 to Murray.) 

Sitting in the royal box on a rainy afternoon, Kate – sporting new, shorter layers around her face – wore a $384 cardinal red Cayla Long Dress from LK Bennett, as she and William, in a suit and tie, watched the grand slam event after arriving in a Jaguar. 

When the rain stopped play after 15 minutes, William and Kate chatted with other members of the royal box, including William's aunt Sophie, Countess of Wessex, ex-Wimbledon champion Billie Jean King and Prince Albert of Monaco.
