Princess of Wales Kate Middleton to attend Wimbledon men’s final

Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Princess of Wales will attend the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday. This marks her second public appearance following her cancer diagnosis and subsequent abdominal surgery earlier this year.

Last month, Catherine made her first public appearance since her illness by attending Trooping the Colour. This event was significant as it marked her return to public duties after a challenging health battle.

On Sunday, the Princess will have the honor of presenting the trophy to the winner of this year’s men’s singles tournament at Wimbledon. Her presence is expected to add a special touch to the prestigious event, highlighting her ongoing commitment to her royal duties and public engagements despite her recent health challenges

Officials from the Wimbledon tennis tournament had previously said they were ‘hopeful’ Kate would be able to return to present trophies after Sunday’s final. The princess, who carried out the duty in 2023, is known to be a tennis lover and even amateur player.

‘We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery is the priority,’ said All England Club chair Debbie Jevans.

The palace confirmed Kate was stepping back from her royal duties in March, after the princess released a surprise video on social media to share her cancer diagnosis.

She is now undergoing preventative treatment. Meanwhile, Prince William will fly to Berlin for the Euro 2024 final as England face off against Spain, the palace has confirmed.

He will be joined by Britain’s new prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, as the men’s team attempts to rectify their final stage knockout against Italy in 2020.
