We're used to seeing the royal family members on their best behavior, whether that's with polite smiles and handshakes, or appropriately sober and serious expressions.

But, apparently, that all slips when they watch tennis at Wimbledon! From pure joy and celebration, to utter disappointment and boredom, click to check out the most hilarious royal reactions captured at the famous tennis tournament from over the years.

The Duchess of Cambridge was relaxed as ever at Wimbledon 2021 on July 2, and it certainly showed!

▲A young-faced Duchess of Cambridge (at the time just Kate Middleton) anxiously watches a match between Robin Söderling (Sweden) and Rafael Nadal (Spain) in 2007.

▲Kate has always been an avid Wimbledon watcher, often seen attending the tournament with friends before marrying Prince William. The determination on her face says it all!

▲Her Majesty the Queen, however, appears less than impressed with the game.

▲Though she served as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon for over 60 years, the Queen has only attended the tournament four times.

▲When she attended in 1977, she presented the winning trophy to Virginia Wade (Great Britain), but seemed seriously unamused by the length of the players' tennis skirts.

▲Her last appearance was in 2010, when she watched a match between Andy Murray (Great Britain) and Jarkko Nieminen (Finland). The experience didn't seem up to her standards...

▲Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has also been captured pulling some hilarious reactions, such as here in 2011.

▲It seems as though she enjoyed the match between Venus Williams (USA) and Kimiko Date-Krumm (Japan).

▲In 2011, Wimbledon brought out a range of emotions on royal faces. The new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were very concerned while watching Andy Murray play Richard Gasquet (France).

▲Here they looked absolutely radiant as Kate cajoled her new husband into doing the wave on Centre Court.

▲Prince Charles joined his wife for a rare Wimbledon appearance in 2012. The couple looked worried as they watched Roger Federer (Switzerland) play Fabio Fognini (Italy).

▲On day nine of the 2012 tournament, Kate and Will watched a nail-biting match between Roger Federer (Switzerland) and Mikhail Youzhny (Russia).

▲The Duchess resorted to a whole range of expressions, including lip-biting...

▲...grimacing...

▲...and finally face-palming to show her disappointment.

▲Kate and her sister Pippa (left) look tense while watching the 2012 Gentlemen's Singles final between Roger Federer and Andy Murray.

▲It looks as though the Duchess of Cornwall got caught by some rain here in 2013.

▲At Wimbledon, it's always hard to tell whether the rain is sufficiently strong enough to stop the match.

▲Prince William gives a thumbs up while Kate looks bemused during a match in 2014.

▲Princess Eugenie (center) and then-boyfriend Jack Brooksbank (right) keep straight faces while watching Eugenie Bouchard (Canada) compete against Petra Kvitová (Czech Republic) in 2014.

▲A tense moment during the 2014 Gentlemen's Singles final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic (Serbia) sent the Cambridges into stony stares.

▲Glamorous appearances couldn't hide the Duchess of Cornwall's mood on day four of the tournament in 2015.

▲The Duke of Cambridge looked tense as he watched Andy Murray play Vasek Pospisil (Canada) in 2015.

▲But he and Kate were all smiles once Murray had won the match!

▲By contrast, the Duchess of Cornwall looked like she'd lost all hope at the tournament in 2016.

▲Despite her sunny dress color, Kate also seemed cautious as she watched a match between Serena Williams (USA) and Elena Vesnina (Russia) in 2016.

▲Relief spreads over her face as she shares a joke with Philip Brook, Chairman of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

▲Nerves won out later on in the tournament as the Duchess watched Andy Murray battle against Milos Raonic (Canada) in the Gentlemen's Singles final.

▲Even Prince William purses his lips as he watches Murray play. Luckily, the British tennis star came through to win the tournament that year.

▲Kate looks serious as Philip Brook explains some finer tactical points during an Andy Murray match in 2017.

▲Meghan Markle shares a private joke with her sister-in-law Kate as the two watch Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber (Germany) battle it out in the 2018 Ladies' Singles Finals.

▲The Duchesses appear to be enjoying the match.

▲Kate looked stressed as she watched Novak Djokovic go head to head with Kevin Anderson (South Africa) in the Gentlemen's Singles Final in 2018.

▲

But luckily Prince William soon had her laughing again!
