Princess of Wales to attend Wimbledon men’s singles final in second public appearance since cancer diagnosis

The Princess of Wales will make her second public appearance since her cancer diagnosis was announced earlier this year, after she attended Trooping the Colour last month.

The Princess of Wales will attend the men’s final at Wimbledon on Sunday, Kensington Palace has confirmed.

It is set to be the second public appearance Kate has made since her cancer diagnosis was announced earlier this year after she attended Trooping the Colour last month.

The princess will attend the finale of the Championships on Sunday to present the men’s trophy to either Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz, Kensington Palace said.

Kate has been a patron of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016.

The princess shared in March she has been receiving preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer since late February.

Ahead of her first public appearance since her diagnosis last month, she said she hoped “to join a few public engagements over the summer”, but added she knows “I am not out of the woods yet”.

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty,” Kate said.

“Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”

While Kate stays in the UK, Kensington Palace added that Prince William will fly to Berlin to cheer on England as they play Spain in the finals of Euro 2024.

As president of the FA, the prince also saw the Three Lions play against Switzerland and Denmark throughout the tournament.

Princess Royal a ‘super trooper’

Both William and Kate also congratulated Princess Anne for her own return to royal duties on Saturday.

The Princess Royal visited the Riding for the Disabled Association’s championships on Friday, marking the group’s 55th anniversary.

It came after she received a minor head injury and concussion, believed to be caused by a horse, last month. She was discharged from hospital on 28 June.

On social media, the Prince and Princess of Wales called Anne a “super trooper” and added it is “so great to see you back so soon”.
