The palace earlier confirmed Kate would be making her second public appearance of 2024 at the match on Sunday.

The Princess of Wales has been the patron of the All England Club since 2016 and has presented the trophies to winners of the Grand Slam in past years.

She did not hand out the trophy to women’s single winner Barbora Krejcikova. Instead, it was presented by Wimbledon All-England Club chairwoman Debbie Jevans.

Kate’s appearance at Wimbledon comes as the royal continues treatment for cancer.

In June, the princess revealed she was making “good progress” with her treatment but was “not out of the woods yet” in her biggest update on her recovery since announcing her diagnosis in March 2024.

She made her royal return at Trooping the Colour last month, appearing alongside her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at the celebration in honour of the King’s birthday.

The event marked the first time Kate had been seen in an official capacity in more than six months – the last was at Sandringham over Christmas.

Kate’s time as a spectator at Wimbledon marked a very sporty week for the royals. William, Prince of Wales, is expected to attend the UEFA Euro Final in Berlin between England and Spain on Sunday evening 8pm (UK time).
