This isn’t the first royal sighting of Wimbledon 2024.

Pavlos, Prince of Greece and daughter Princess Olympia attended the first day of the tournament, as did Lord Frederick Windsor.

It is still hoped Catherine, the Princess of Wales will be able to attend this year’s event.

The royal, who is undergoing preventative chemotherapy, is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016.

Kate attends Wimbledon each year, meeting with staff and players and handing out winning trophies. This year, the tournament runs from July 1 to 14.

Wimbledon’s organisers are still holding out hope the royal can manage to bestow the honour.

All England Club chair Debbie Jevans shared that the organisation would provide flexibility to Kate, postponing finding a replacement.

Jevans 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.”

Catherine’s recent appearance at Trooping the Colour led to speculation she would attend the tennis event.

The royal continues preventative chemotherapy after cancer was discovered following planned abdominal surgery in January.

In the past Wimbledon has been attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales with children Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine.
