Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz battled it out on Centre Court on the final day of the tennis championships, with the 20-year-old sportstar ultimately taking the win.
As they took to their seats in the Royal Box, Princess Kate was pictured stopping to speak to the British actor, who was already sat in his seat.
She was seen animatedly conversing with Daniel, 55, and his wife Rachel Weisz, 53, at the sporting event.

On Sunday, Kate, 41, wore a £750 emerald Roland Mouret dress as she arrived at the All England Lawn, Tennis and Croquet Club this weekend.
Kate’s emerald outfit was accessorised with emerald teardrop earrings and a bow on her chest in Wimbledon emerald and amethyst colours.
Meanwhile, Daniel cut a dapper figure in a light grey suit, which he paired with a blue shirt and striped tie.
He finished the smart look off with a red pocket square and donned some brown-tinted sunglasses.
Actress Rachel showed off her chic sense of style as she opted for a cream tailored blazer and trousers for the day out, which she paired with a white shirt.
The beauty wore her brunette locks into a centre parting, which she styled into soft waves, falling either side of her face to show of her stunning features.
She accentuated her natural beauty with a flawless palette of make-up for the occasion, including a subtle pink lip and wore sunglasses to shield her eyes from the sun.
The princess – who has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club since 2016 -was there to watch the men’s final – a match of ‘old versus young’ and ‘legend versus successor’.

Novak is a seven-time winner at Wimbledon and was chasing a record-equalling eighth.
But despite sometimes suffering from crippling nerves, such as in the French Open this year, Carlos said: ‘It’s a final, no time to be afraid. I will go for it and let’s see what happens.’
Following a gruelling five set match, Alcaraz was crowned the new king of Wimbledon after dethroning Djokovic on a rapt court in one of the great grand slam finals.
The young Spaniard looked to be on his way to victory when he recovered from a nervous start to take a two-sets-to-one lead only for Djokovic to show once again his remarkable powers of resilience.
It was he who appeared in the ascendancy at the start of the fifth set but back came 20-year-old Alcaraz to claim a 1-6 7-6 (6) 6-1 3-6 6-4 victory after four hours and 42 minutes, finally landing a meaningful blow for the young guns against the man 16 years his senior.
Elsewhere, Daniel and Rachel were seen enjoying an animated conversation with James Norton and his partner Imogen Poots.
Happy Valley star James, 37, looked dapper in a blue-grey suit as he sat alongside actress Imogen, 34, who was seen waving her hands in the air as she chatted.
It comes after James addressed rumours he was set to replace Daniel as James Bond after Daniel starred in his final film from the franchise, No Time to Die, which was released in September 2021.
James has been rumoured to be the next 007 along with the likes of Idris Elba, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Richard Madden, Henry Golding and Jamie Dornan.
However, James attempted to put an end to the speculation last month as he insisted he had not tested for the role or had any discussion with producers, telling Variety: ‘No, no, no, none of that.’
He added: ‘Anyone can write any story about it and it will get the most incredible sort of hype around it. No, no conversations.

‘Basically nothing else to say other than I think they’re probably still working it all out. It’s a big challenge to know which direction to take that huge franchise in.’
James’s comments came shortly after Jamie addressed rumours he was in the running for the role.
He told Total Film: ‘I’ve been in that conversation for a good couple of years now. Sometimes I’m more in that conversation than other times. It tends to be if you have a movie coming out.
‘If people want to have your name, that’s cool. I just am not one of those people who give it a huge amount of thought.’
