The Perfect Gentleman
Matthew McConaughey earned praise for his courteous gesture toward Prince William and Kate Middleton as the royal couple arrived at Wimbledon 2025.
A fan shared a video capturing the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their eldest children — Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10 — making their way to their seats in the royal box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London on Sunday.
When the Waleses approached their seats, McConaughey, 55, immediately stood and applauded the royals as they reached the row in front of the “Interstellar” actor.
McConaughey’s thoughtful gesture earned praise from fans online.
“Matthew McConaughey standing to applaud the Prince & Princess of Wales. What a lovely southern gentleman,” one netizen tweeted.
“Real class,” another added.
“McConaughey surely respects everyone he encounters,” a third fan commented.
“Matthew has always been a class act,” added a fourth user.
Charlotte and George stole the spotlight with their surprise appearance alongside their parents to watch Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and Italy’s Jannik Sinner compete in the men’s singles final on Sunday.
The family coordinated in blue and white outfits, with Middleton wearing a bright blue belted dress and Charlotte in a white dress.
Both George and William, 43, looked dapper in navy blue suits.
Middleton, 43, also attended the tennis tournament solo on Saturday to watch American tennis star Amanda Anisimova and Poland’s Iga Swiatek compete in the women’s singles final.
The mom of three, who announced she was cancer-free in January, stunned in an ivory belted blazer-style top paired with a cream pleated skirt.
