The Princess of Wales received a warm standing ovation as she entered the prestigious Royal Box at Wimbledon today.
Princess Catherine, who has temporarily reduced her public royal duties due to ongoing cancer treatment, was deeply engaged in the momentous Grand Slam final. Her focus was on the thrilling match between emerging Spanish talent Carlos Alcaraz and seasoned veteran Novak Djokovic, both vying for the coveted championship trophy, which Princess Catherine herself would present later in the evening.
Accompanied by her daughter Princess Charlotte, aged nine, and her sister Pippa Middleton, the future queen was warmly welcomed with applause, marking her second public appearance this year. Before taking their seats, Kate and Charlotte shared moments with former Ladies champions in the club house, where Emma Raducanu graciously presented the princess with a bouquet of flowers. Later, they met participants of the ‘Work at Wimbledon’ program, an initiative supporting young individuals from diverse backgrounds in roles at the Championships.
Notably absent was Prince George, hinting that he might join his father for the Euros final in Berlin. Princess Catherine, known for her elegant style, chose a bespoke dress from Safiyaa worth £1295 and accessorized with a £122 Milly Nude leather bag from LK Bennett, enhancing her stature with Camilla Elphick slingback pumps and complementing her ensemble with the Halcyon Days Salamander Torque Aquamarine & Gold Bangle. A passionate tennis enthusiast and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club since 2016, Kate engaged warmly with female players on the final day of SW19's matches.
While it's customary for her to present the Ladies Singles trophy, this year Princess Catherine attended the tournament on its closing day instead. Princess Charlotte looked charming in a blue polka-dotted dress, her hair tied back with a bow, adding to the family's elegant presence at Wimbledon. This appearance marks the first official outing for the mother-of-three since attending Trooping the Colour last month, underscoring her enduring commitment to both royal duties and personal interests amidst ongoing health challenges.
