The royal couple attended the final in different countries on Sunday, each with their children in tow.
The Princess of Wales received a standing ovation at Wimbledon in just her second public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer and undergoing abdominal surgery earlier this year.
This was before the men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Just before the match began, the entire Centre Court crowd rose to their feet as Kate Middleton walked to her seat with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
Kate Middleton returned to royal duties in June, attending Trooping the Colour and smiling and waving from the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her children.
At the time, Katherine said in a statement about her cancer diagnosis that she was “recovering well” but was “not out of the woods yet.”
The Princess of Wales, who is also patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, wore a purple dress by British brand Sapphire and gold hoop earrings by By Pariah and was warmly welcomed after months of rumours about her health.
The Duchess of Cambridge revealed she was diagnosed with cancer in March, saying she had “good days and bad days” and that her treatment would continue for several more months.

English Encouragement
While Kate Middleton watched Alcaraz defend his title at Wimbledon, her husband, the Prince of Wales, watched England suffer yet another defeat in the Euros final.
Prince William attended the Spain vs England final in Berlin, Germany, with his 10-year-old son George.
Spain went on to beat England 2-1, and William offered words of encouragement to the English team following the result.
This time, it was not meant to be. We are all so proud of you. @England. circle

His father, King Charles, wrote a letter directly to England manager Gareth Southgate to express his pride despite the heartbreaking defeat.
“Although you may not have won tonight, my wife and I, as a whole family, would still like to wish you and your support team the best of luck,” he said.
“Anyone who has ever taken part in sporting activities at any level will know how devastating a result like this is when you are so close to winning, and they join me in sending their heartfelt sympathy as they congratulate Spain.”
“But just knowing that the success of reaching the European Championship final was a truly incredible achievement in itself and that there is national pride that continues to roar for the Three Lions today, with no doubt many more victories to come.”
