Kate Middleton debuts shorter haircut at Wimbledon

July 3 (UPI) -- Kate Middleton turned heads with her new haircut Monday at Wimbledon.

The 35-year-old Duchess of Cambridge showed off her new, shorter hair while attending the annual tennis tournament in London.

Middleton spoke to the Wimbledon ball boys and girls before cheering on British tennis star Andy Murray. She recently discussed her love of tennis in an interview for the BBC One special Our Wimbledon.

"Every time Wimbledon is on I am thinking, 'Yes, I could do the same' and get out the racket," the duchess, who played the sport in prep school, said. "Sadly, not the same results."

Middleton and her husband, Prince William, will kick off a five-day tour of Poland and Germany on July 17. Kensington Palace confirmed Monday that the couple's children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will join their parents on the trip.

"The Duke and Duchess are very much looking forward to this tour and are delighted with the exciting and varied program that has been put together for it," the palace said in a statement.

"They have decided that their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will travel with them and we expect the children to be seen on at least a couple of occasions over the course of the week," the palace added.

Middleton and Prince William married in 2011, and welcomed Prince George and Princess Charlotte in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Middleton joined Prince William and his brother, Prince Harry, at a service for their late mom, Princess Diana, on Saturday.
