Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, made a rare public appearance at Wimbledon on July 14, amid her ongoing cancer treatment. The crowd honored her with a standing ovation as she arrived at the event. As the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club since 2016, Kate had been absent from this year’s tournament until the final, Deadline reported.
Following the match, Kate took to the court to present the trophies. Dressed in a bright purple dress, the 42-year-old Princess was all smiles as she watched the men’s singles final, a repeat of last year’s championship matchup between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Novak Djokovic of Serbia.
Joining Kate in the Royal Box were her daughter Charlotte and her sister Pippa Matthews. The event also saw the presence of numerous celebrities, including Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch with his wife Sophie Hunter, Tom Hiddleston with his actress wife Zawe Ashton, Courteney Cox, and former tennis champions Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt, and Chris Evert.
This appearance not only highlights Kate’s commitment to her patronage despite her health challenges but also showcases the strong support from the royal family and public figures.
