The Princess of Wales will make an appearance at the men’s singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday it has been confirmed by Kensington Palace as she continues her cancer recovery
Kate, Princess of Wales, will make an appearance at the final of the men’s singles tournament at Wimbledon on Sunday, Kensington Palace has confirmed.
Royal fans have been hoping to see the princess at the 2024 tournament and she will be there to present the trophy to either Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s final.
But she will not attend today and Wimbledon chairwoman, Debbie Jevans, will present the women’s champion trophy on behalf of Kate to either Jasmine Paolini or Barbora Krejcikova.
Kate has kept a very low profile ever since she disclosed she had been diagnosed with cancer in March.
But to the delight of the public, she made a return to the spotlight for Trooping the Colour just last month.
At the time, the Princess shared a health update, saying that she is “making good progress” but “there are good days and bad days”. She also shared her hopes that she can “join a few public engagements over the summer” while also noting, “I am not out of the woods yet”.
Speaking earlier this month Ms Jevans didn’t rule out an appearance entirely, confirming that organisers are “staying flexible” over who will conduct the trophy presentation if the Princess is unable to do so this year. Debbie told Telegraph Sport: “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. We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is that we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.”
Kate is a massive tennis fan and paid tribute to Andy Murray after he missed out on final matches at Wimbledon in the mixed-doubles with Emma Raducanu pulling out through injury. In a personally signed message on social media, Kate wrote: “An incredible #Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy_murray. On behalf of all of us, thank you! C.”
While the All England Club was hopeful that Kate would be able to carry out her ceremonial duties it was also reported that they had a possible stand-by just in case. There is a strong connection between the family and the tournament going back to when Prince George, later King George V, became the first president in 1907 and the Duchess of Gloucester was a possible replacement for Kate, it was claimed.
According to Kensington Palace, Kate, Princess of Wales, will be making a special appearance at the men’s singles final at Wimbledon this Sunday. Fans have eagerly been awaiting her presence at the tournament, and she will be there to present the trophy to the winner of the men’s final.
It is wonderful to see the Princess of Wales making a comeback after her cancer diagnosis earlier this year. She has been keeping a low profile but recently returned to the public eye during Trooping the Colour, where she shared an update on her health.
Despite her health struggles, Kate remains optimistic about her recovery and hopes to participate in more public events throughout the summer. Her dedication to her duties as the Club’s patron is evident, and organizers are willing to work with her to ensure that her health is the top priority.
Kate’s love for tennis is well-known, as she recently expressed her admiration for Andy Murray on social media. The All England Club had contingency plans in case she was unable to fulfill her ceremonial duties, showcasing their commitment to a seamless event.
The royal family has a long history with Wimbledon, dating back to Prince George’s presidency in 1907. The Duchess of Gloucester was even considered as a stand-by for Kate, highlighting the strong ties between the family and the prestigious tournament.
