Details in Prince George's appearance spark concern
Prince George made his Wimbledon debut on Sunday, local time, as he watched Australian Nick Kyrgios take on Novak Djokovic in a dramatic four-set final.
The temperature in London soared to an unbelievably comfortable 30C on that day, which saw Djokovic win over the unseeded Kyrgios.

Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, joined Prince William as they proudly ushered George, eight, into the stands where the youngster then sat mesmerized by the – sometimes foul-mouthed – process.
But the scorching temperatures have social media worried about the well-being of the young Prince, given he is well-dressed in a full suit and tie.
As they were in their seats, William asked George if his trip to the tournament site was “OK”.
The youngster later told his father that it was “too hot”.
“Oh, you’re sexy huh?” replied a worried William. “Today is very warm… It will be fine.”
While George sat quietly during the game, he was seen wiping his eyebrows every now and then and social media users expressed their anger at his outfit.
“Why is Prince George wearing a SUIT at Wimbledon on a hot day?? If he was a kid at a tennis tournament,” one Twitter user wrote.
‘Prince George is scorching hot at Wimbledon. Why is he wearing a tie? Why is he wearing a jacket? No wonder he’s hot, poor little boy. Idiots dressed her like this,” wrote another.
“Prince George looks middle-aged in his suit,” another commented. “Today is too hot for a suit, seriously let the kid have fun and be more relaxed.”
But others defended William and Kate.
“Some people are very dim here. If Prince George is hot, he’ll take off his jacket himself. He’s big. William and Catherine managed everything,” one fan wrote.
Djokovic finally beat Kyrgios to coolly claim his seventh Wimbledon crown and No.21 grand slam 4-6 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-3)
“I’m at a loss for words what this tournament is for, what this trophy means to me, to my team and my family,” Djokovic said after lifting the Challenge Cup once again.
“I have said this many times – it has always been and will be the most special tournament in my heart, the tournament that motivated me and inspired me to start playing tennis in this small mountain resort in Serbia.
“My parents used to run a restaurant and I was four and a half, five years old and I saw Pete Sampras win his first Wimbledon in 1992 and I asked my mom and dad to buy me my first racket and pictures. tennis is grass and Wimbledon.
“I’ve always dreamed of coming here, just playing on this pitch and of course realizing this childhood dream and winning this trophy.
“Every moment it becomes more and more meaningful so I am very blessed and grateful.”
Kyrgios has shown his best behavior early on in front of the royal box, Australian greats Rod Laver and John Newcombe, and a host of other royals and luminaries.
But, after dropping serve for the first time in his career against Djokovic to trail 3-1 in the second set, he grew increasingly frustrated.
The hot head was even more nervous after not being able to hit back in the ninth game despite holding four break points and leaving Djokovic 0-40 down as the Serb leveled with a set apiece.
Kyrgios threatened to give up after being given a code violation for swearing in the fifth game of a crucial third set after admitting to having been interrupted on a serve by a fed up crowd.
He angrily condemned referee Renaud Lichtenstein’s decision as a “joke” and demanded the woman be removed.
“He’s gone mad . . . so throw him out,” Kyrgios asked the French official.
“Those who seem to have drunk 700s, bro,” he added when asked which audience he was.
