The tennis tournament in Wimbledon is an event that is particularly important to Princess Kate. Despite her cancer, she has announced that she will be taking part in the men’s final this Sunday. Prince William, meanwhile, is expected to be at another major sporting event.
Princess Kate will attend the men’s final at Wimbledon on Sunday. Kensington Palace announced this in a statement. She will sit in the royal box for the final between Spanish defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and Serbian record Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic and will then present the winner’s trophy. Kate will not attend the women’s final between Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova. Wimbledon organizers announced that the winner’s trophy will be presented by Deborah Jevans, chairwoman of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which hosts the tournament. Princess Kate has been patron of the club since 2016 and is herself a passionate tennis player.
Princess Kate appeared for the first time at “Trooping the Colour”
For the princess, who is suffering from cancer, it will be her second public appearance in the last seven months. In June she had already appeared at the traditional birthday parade for King Charles III, also known as “Trooping the Colour”, in London. At the time, Kate wrote in an email: “I am making good progress, but as anyone who goes through chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days. On the bad days you feel weak and tired and you need to allow your body to rest. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of it.” She is “not out of the woods yet,” Kate revealed. “My treatment is not yet finished and will take a few more months.” But she hopes to be able to make some public appearances over the course of the summer. Attending the men’s final at Wimbledon is now set to be one of those appearances.

Princess Kate shines at the Trooping the Colour parade: Her looks from the past years
Last year, Kate sat in the royal box at the tennis tournament with her husband, Prince William, and their two older children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. It is unclear whether they will be there again. Prince William has already confirmed that he will be present at the European Championship final on Sunday evening. Spain and England will face each other at 9 p.m. German time. Wimbledon in the afternoon, Berlin in the evening – that will probably be tight even for the heir to the throne.
