Kate Middleton makes a stunning return to Wimbledon!
The Princess of Wales, 42, took part in this year’s Wimbledon tennis championships on Sunday as she continues to undergo treatment for cancer.
Princess Catherine was delighted to arrive at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club with her 9-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte.
She appeared in good spirits as she stunned everyone in her stunning purple dress.
Charlotte wore a blue polka dot dress.
Princess Catherine will present the trophy to the winner of the match between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. She is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
Her visit comes just a month after she joined the royal family to attend King Charles’ birthday celebrations on the balcony of Buckingham Palace at Trooping the Colour.
Although her brief return to the spotlight has taken a toll on her health, the beloved princess doesn’t let her illness get in the way of her love of tennis.
The mother of three’s participation in the Grand Slam has been uncertain since she revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world in March.
Last month, it was reported that the princess had considered appearing at the annual tennis tournament on the assumption that her recovery was on track.
In addition to being a patron of the tournament, Middleton, a tennis fan, has made an effort to attend the tournament every year, and has often been seen watching matches from the Royal Box on Centre Court.
Last month, the chairman of the All England Club – which hosts the annual grasscourt tournament – spoke out about speculation Middleton would attend.
“Clearly our priority is that our sponsor has adequate time to recover and we certainly will not add any additional pressure to her recovery by speculating about her attendance at this year’s tournament,” Deborah Givans said at a news briefing.
Asked about who will present the awards for the July 13-14 finals, Jevans said no decisions have been made yet.
“And when it comes to the presentation ceremony, as in previous years, we will announce those who will participate in this ceremony on the morning of the finals, so nothing has changed in that regard,” she added.
Kensington Palace declined to comment.
Princess Catherine usually attends both the men’s and women’s finals and presents the winners and runners-up with their awards.
Last year, the beloved princess teamed up with tennis legend Roger Federer to perform ball girl duty ahead of the tournament.
The princess joined the boys and girls taking part in the Wimbledon Championships, and also enjoyed a training session with the Swiss star – the eight-time champion.
While Middleton is showing her support for the annual tournament, her husband Prince William is expected to head to Berlin, Germany, to cheer on the England men’s football team when they face Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
The Prince of Wales, 42, is president of the Football Association, the governing body of football in England, and is a huge fan of the sport.
The future king is set to be joined by Britain’s new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer.
