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.”
