Kate looked effortlessly chic in a bright blue knee-length dress which she matched with her favourite navy blazer and a blue velvet clutch. The electric blue Stella McCartney number was Kate's outfit choice just a few weeks ago at the opening of a new exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery
Kate and William avidly watched on with tense expressions as Murray suffered a slight wobble in the fourth game when he double-faulted twice, but held and then broke his opponent again in the following game with a brilliant forehand.
The Scot held superbly before breaking the Spaniard again in the seventh game to seal a victory that was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowd, including the Royal couple.
Despite the crowd's enthusiasm for the British number one's Olympics bid, there were still rows of empty seats in the stands, particularly in the lower tiers.
Hundreds of fans visiting the All England Club without tickets to the match gathered outside the court on Murray Mound to watch the action on the big screen as the sun shone down.
Murray was delighted with the quickfire victory in front of William and Kate.
He said: 'I didn't speak to them after the match but it's always nice when you're playing in front of royalty.
'When you get people like that coming along it helps raise the profile of the sport.
'It was a good performance today. I served well and that helped. It was good to get it finished early. I didn't want a long match because I am playing in the doubles this afternoon. Now I hope I can get a medal.'
Murray was disappointed to see rows of empty seats on Court One, however, and urged organisers to make sure the stands are full for his semi-final, and Sunday's medal matches.
'I would like to see all the seats full in all of the stadium but for whatever reason they haven't been,' the Scot said.
'The support inside and outside the stadiums has been great so hopefully over the weekend we will get all the courts packed.
'Centre Court was really busy the last two rounds I have played on there and hopefully they will all be full. Everyone wants to see that.
'Lots of people want to see the Games, there are lots of people trying to get tickets and it's not easy so I don't want to see any empty seats.'
The young Royals both looked effortlessly smart in the Royal box today as they cheered Andy Murray on to victory. William was once again spotted sporting his Team GB pin

King of the Closing Ceremony: Prince Harry is joined by Kate as he takes centre stage as the top Royal
By Paul Harris
Prince Harry was launched into a new leading role in the royal family last night when he took centre stage at the Olympic closing ceremony.
In his most important solo Royal engagement yet, the third in line to the throne was selected as the figurehead for the spectacular farewell to the Games, which the Queen opened two weeks ago.
The high-profile task of celebrating Britain’s glory at London 2012 fell to the 27-year-old prince, sitting alongside the Duchess of Cambridge, after a succession of prominent appearances in the crowd at many of the history-making events of the competition.
All smiles: Prince Harry shares a joke with his brother's wife, the Duchess of Cambridge as the pair enjoy the Closing Ceremony

Thrilled: The young Royals show their appreciation for some of the performers at the ceremony
Respect: Prince Harry, the Duchess of Cambridge and Lord Coe stand for the national anthem at the Closing Ceremony
Last night in a stirring written message, Harry said the Games had been ‘extraordinary’, and added: ‘They will stay in the hearts and minds of people all over the world for a very long time to come.
‘I congratulate all the athletes who have competed. They have shown us that there are few boundaries to human endeavour.’
The spirit of the Olympics, he said, represented ‘a magnificent force for positive change’. The athletes, he said, had ‘captured the imagination of the world’.
His appearance on behalf of the Queen also cemented his image in the public eye as a prince of the people, a down-to-earth ambassador for what has been widely acclaimed one of the best things to happen to Britain for decades.
Senior royals including The Queen and Prince Charles have made a point of leaving the Games to the younger members of the family notably Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry who were official Team GB Ambassadors.
Charles attended the Queen’s official Buckingham Palace reception for heads of state as well as the opening ceremony followed by the men’s cycling and badminton on the opening Saturday before heading off to Scotland on holiday.

BELLA . -

LONDRA - Il giorno è forse arrivato: William e Kate, i principi che hanno fatto sognare il mondo con le loro nozze, avranno un erede. Kate Middleton, infatti, secondo l'indiscrezione lanciata dal magazine Star, sarebbe in dolce attesa, «convinta» di aspettare un bambino.
Hollywood Life, altro magazine molto informato sulla vita di corte, riporta le parole di una fonte "vicina" ai reali britannici: «Gli amici dicono che Kate è convinta di essere incinta, e gli sposi sono pazzi di gioia - si legge nel virgolettato - galeotta è stata una notte di passione trascorsa in campagna dopo le Olimpiadi».
Sempre secondo il magazine, la notizia sarà ufficializzata appena dopo che il ginecologo di Kate sarà convinto al 100% della gravidanza della duchessa di York. E se sarà una bimba, quale miglior nome di Diana, come la defunta mamma di William, alla quale il principe era legatissimo?

First Photos of Kate Middleton’s Baby Bump
Kate Middleton is flashing her royal baby bump! Gasp! Except she’s trying to cover up the bump beneath a giant plaid cape, at least we think that’s a cape?
Kate was visiting a Boots store in West London, and even though she tried to cover up, she was showing a fuller face. Honestly, it looks good on her. Kate sometimes wavers into Victoria-Beckham-skinny status.
This is the FIRST time we’ve seen Kate’s stomach look anything close to pregnant. When she emerged from the hospital and the few events she’s done since then, she was wearing her usual body-conscious dresses with zero signs of a bump.
Us Weekly is reporting that Kate is fully recovered from her monster morning sickness and is trying to get in as much work before the baby arrives. Well, as a royal, I don’t know if it’s called “work” or rather, it’s her “duties.”
Kate is “arranging meetings with the charities she is involved with and planning future engagements before the baby is born.”
“She wants to keep herself busy now that she is feeling better,” says the source.
If by “busy” they mean shopping, then yes. Kate has been on a shopping spree, mainly for maternity wear.
She was spotted buying yoga pants, needing some that will fit her belly. Kate was also buying up actual maternity wear at a London boutique.. -

LA STAMPA CONTRO KATE MIDDLETON
TROPPO MAGRA: "È UNA MAMMA-RESSICA"
LONDRA - La principessa Kate Middleton è incinta,
ma la sua forma fisica un po' troppo sottile sta facendo mugugnare i
più e anche sulla stampa le critiche di certo non mancano. "Us Weekly",
come riporta Dagospia, ha soprannominato la duchessa di Cambridge "Regina delle Mamma-ressiche (Mamme Anoressiche)" accusandola di avere abitudini alimentari che metterebbero a rischio la vita del piccolo.
Fonti anonime vicino a Kate però la difendono sostenendo che sia molto
magra di costituzione e da quando è in stato interessante avrebbe messo
su 6 chili, poco visibili proprio per via del suo fisico longilineo.. -
