Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, made a public appearance at the Wimbledon men's singles final alongside her daughter, Princess Charlotte. This marked her second official engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis and undergoing preventative chemotherapy. The princess, who is the patron of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, has been a regular attendee at the prestigious tournament in southwest London.
For the final, Kate chose a stylish purple dress by Safiyaa London, accessorized with nude pumps, an LK Bennett bag, gold hoop earrings, and bangles. She was joined by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, who made her first appearance in the royal box at Wimbledon. Notably, Prince William was absent as he traveled to Berlin to watch a soccer match.
The match saw last year's winner, Carlos Alcaraz, face off against seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic. Alcaraz emerged victorious, and Kate presented him with the trophy on the court. The event also attracted other celebrities like Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Despite expectations of a reduced public presence due to her health, Kate's attendance at Wimbledon was a pleasant surprise. She had previously indicated her intention to participate in a few public engagements over the summer. The Wimbledon All-England Club confirmed that chairwoman Debbie Jevans presented the trophy on Kate's behalf during the women's singles final.
The official Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram account celebrated Alcaraz's win, emphasizing the unique atmosphere of The Championships. Kate's return to Wimbledon was met with enthusiasm from spectators and fans, who appreciate her longstanding support for the tournament.
