Princess Kate's dashing staff member makes royal fans swoon at Wimbledon

Princess Kate's private secretary has caused quite the stir after joining her at Wimbledon this year. The Princess of Wales made a royal appearance at the women's final yesterday, where she consoled Amanda Anisimova as she handed her the runners-up trophy following a heartbreaking loss on Centre Court.

However, Princess Kate, who looked stunning in a delicate cream midi-skirt and fitted jacket, was not the only one to catch attention. Viewers gushed over her private secretary, Lieutenant Colonel Tom White, after he was spotted at the high-profile match alongside the Princess.

Speaking about the 36-year-old, who was wearing a double-breasted cream blazer with a shirt and tie, one viewer wrote: "He's a fox!". Another added: "I mean, silver fox."

A third said: "Okay, but the Princess of Wales's private secretary is," followed by heart-eye emojis. A fourth added: "Flirt mode is on."

Lt Col White joined the Royal Household in 2020 as the late Queen's equerry, where he worked until her death on 8 September 2022.

He was the first Royal Marines commando to hold the position. He previously served in Afghanistan, where he helped prevent a school bombing in Helmand.

According to reports, Prince William and Kate's household appointed Lt Col White after the Princess invited him to join her at a public engagement in 2023.

Kate had been without a private secretary since the departure of Hannah Cockburn-Logie in October 2022.

The appearance came as Kate, the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, presented the runners-up trophy to the 13th seed Anisimova who struggled to contain her tears during an emotional and heartfelt speech.

The Princess of Wales consoledher after she lost 6-0, 6-0 to Iga Swiatek on Centre Court in just 57 minutes.

Speaking about meeting the Princess after the match, the American tennis star said: "It was such an honour to meet her. I wasn't sure if she was going to come out today, if she was going to be there, so it's just really nice to see her."
