Hello Magazine reported that children are usually prohibited from sitting in the Royal Box, but Prince George was allowed because he's a member of the royal family. Wimbledon's official website noted that invitations to sit in the Royal Box come from the Chairman of the All England Club, who takes "into account suggestions from members of The Championships' Organising Committee, The Lawn Tennis Association and other relevant sources."
Representatives for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Wimbledon did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Photos showed Prince George chatting with his parents during the match, but Prince George's interactions with Middleton may call to mind another beloved mother-son pair.

As noted in a Sunday tweet by My London Royal Correspondent Rebecca Russell, heartwarming moments between Prince George and Middleton were reminiscent of Princess Diana and Prince William at Wimbledon in 1991.
More than 30 years ago, Princess Diana brought Prince William to watch the women's final when he was 9. Photos taken at the time showed them cheering and analyzing the match together.
During his visit, Prince George also got a chance to hold the Wimbledon trophy. The official Wimbledon Twitter account shared a video of Prince George marveling at the trophy in his hands while Middleton and Prince William stood nearby.
Prince William and Middleton have slowly but steadily included their three children on different outings. Last month, the family attended events for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, which celebrated her 70 years on the throne.
