The Princess of Wales will attend the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday and present the trophy to either Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz, Kensington Palace said.
The Princess has made only one public appearance this year, attending Trooping the Colour, following her announcement in March that she is undergoing cancer treatment.
As patron of the All England Club for eight years, she has traditionally presented the Wimbledon trophies since 2016, a role highly valued by the tournament for its global significance.
The All England Club maintains strong ties with the Royal family, with 10 royals having presented trophies since Prince George, later King George V, became the club's first president in 1907.
It is understood that during informal discussions, the Duchess of Gloucester was considered as a potential replacement if the Princess of Wales could not attend.
Kate missed a charity polo match on Friday where her husband, the Prince of Wales, took to the field to raise funds for good causes.
In a statement released last month, she revealed she was making good progress but was “not out of the woods yet” and had “good days and bad days” as she continued her treatment.
During the tournament, Kate paid tribute to Sir Andy Murray, saying he should be “so very proud” after he missed out on a final match at Wimbledon.
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.”
Kensington Palace also confirmed on Friday that William will attend Sunday’s Euro 2024 final in Berlin to watch England take on Spain.
William, who is president of the FA, also attended the side’s quarter-final victory over Switzerland on Saturday and the group stage game against Denmark.
The King has also congratulated the England men’s football team on reaching the final of Euro 2024 – but urged them to avoid more last-minute drama.
In a message to Gareth Southgate’s side following the Three Lions’ 2-1 win against the Netherlands, Charles sent the players the royal family’s “very best wishes” and “warmest congratulations”.
