In the world of tennis, few names carry as much weight as Martina Navratilova. The legendary player, with a record-breaking nine Wimbledon Ladies Singles Championships, is a true star in the sport. However, during the 2019 Wimbledon tournament, Martina took a break from playing and watched from the stands with her wife, Julia Lemigova. They had a meeting with someone very special ? Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.

During the prestigious Wimbledon event in London, Julia Lemigova had the chance to sit next to Kate Middleton, who is a member of the British royal family. It wasn’t the first time Julia had met Kate; they had previously seen each other at the 2019 Wimbledon. This encounter became more interesting when Julia and Martina were asked about Kate and Meghan Markle, who is married to Kate’s brother-in-law, Prince Harry, during their appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

The puppies’ birth became their main topic of conversation, bringing joy and warmth to the moment. ?We talked about my nine puppies, which were born while having lunch, watching the Wimbledon finals,? Lemigova said. ?That was our conversation. About the little puppies,? she further added.
