The Princess of Wales will make an appearance at the men’s singles final at Wimbledon on Sunday it has been confirmed by Kensington Palace as she continues her cancer recovery
Kate, Princess of Wales, will make an appearance at the final of the men’s singles tournament at Wimbledon on Sunday, Kensington Palace has confirmed.
Royal fans have been hoping to see the princess at the 2024 tournament and she will be there to present the trophy to either Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s final. But she will not attend today and Wimbledon chairwoman, Debbie Jevans, will present the women’s champion trophy on behalf of Kate to either Jasmine Paolini or Barbora Krejcikova.
Kate has kept a very low profile ever since she disclosed she had been diagnosed with cancer in March. But to the delight of the public, she made a return to the spotlight for Trooping the Colour just last month. At the time, the Princess shared a health update, saying that she is “making good progress” but “there are good days and bad days”. She also shared her hopes that she can “join a few public engagements over the summer” while also noting, “I am not out of the woods yet”.

Speaking earlier this month Ms Jevans didn’t rule out an appearance entirely, confirming that organisers are “staying flexible” over who will conduct the trophy presentation if the Princess is unable to do so this year. Debbie 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. We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is that we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.”
Kate is a massive tennis fan and paid tribute to Andy Murray after he missed out on final matches at Wimbledon in the mixed-doubles with Emma Raducanu pulling out through injury. 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.”
While the All England Club was hopeful that Kate would be able to carry out her ceremonial duties it was also reported that they had a possible stand-by just in case. There is a strong connection between the family and the tournament going back to when Prince George, later King George V, became the first president in 1907 and the Duchess of Gloucester was a possible replacement for Kate, it was claimed.
