Britain’s Princess of Wales attending Wimbledon final

Britain’s Princess of Wales is attending the Wimbledon men’s final in her second public engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis.

Kate Middleton, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, will present the trophy to the winner of the clash between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

She arrived at the tennis tournament with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.

Kate has been undergoing chemotherapy and made her first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London last month.

She did not attend the women’s singles final yesterday, and Wimbledon chairwoman Debbie Jevans presented the trophy to Barbora Krejcikova on her behalf.

Actors Tom Cruise, Zendaya and Hugh Jackman were among the celebrities attending Centre Court as Czech player Krejcikova fought off Italian Jasmine Paolini to claim a 6-2 2-6 6-4 victory.

Earlier in the tournament, Kate paid tribute to double champion Andy Murray, saying he should be “so very proud” after he missed out on a final chance at Wimbledon.

In a personally-signed message on social media, the princess 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.”

Murray was due to play mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but the former US Open champion pulled out of the clash, citing stiffness in her right wrist.

Kate visited the championships several times last year and presented Alcaraz with his first Wimbledon trophy after watching him battle Djokovic in the men’s singles final.

In a statement released last month, the princess revealed she is making good progress but “not out of the woods yet” and has “good days and bad days” as she continues her treatment.

Her husband, the Prince of Wales, president of the Football Association, will be in Berlin later to attend England’s Euro 2024 final against Spain.
