Though Murray lost the match to Switzerland's Roger Federer, Kate and Pippa stood during Murray's emotional speech to the loud and patriotic crowd at the All England Club in London.

No British player has won the tournament since Fred Perry in 1936.

Both Kate and Pippa have made multiple appearances at Wimbledon this year. Pippa has been a regular in the stands and Kate attended July 4, along with husband Prince William.
