The Princess of Wales, currently undergoing cancer treatment and stepping back from public royal duties, graciously presented the Wimbledon trophy to the triumphant Spaniard, Carlos Alarz, this afternoon.
Alarz secured his second consecutive Grand Slam victory, defeating veteran Novak Jovic in a thrilling three-set match. Princess Katherine, accompanied by Princess Charlotte and her sister Pippa, made a poignant entrance into the Royal box earlier in the day, dressed in a bespoke Safar dress valued at £1,295.
The Royal trio received a warm standing ovation as they settled in to watch the tense rematch at the All England Club, where Alarz faced off against Jovic. Throughout the match, Princess Charlotte captivated onlookers with her range of expressive reactions. Prior to taking their seats, the mother-daughter duo engaged with female tennis stars, including Emmaa Canu, who presented Princess Kate with a vibrant bouquet. Charlotte, beaming with joy, delighted in meeting a tennis star she admired, even as she recalled New Zealand qualifier Lulu Son's recent defeat on Centre Court.
Sporting a charming $70 PBS pker dot dress from Guess, the daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales exuded enthusiasm during the encounter, captured in photographs where she smiled brightly alongside her mother. The pair later visited the Wimbledon Work Programme, which supports young individuals from diverse backgrounds through various roles during the Championships.
Notably absent was Prince George, hinting that he might be joining his father for the Euros Final in Berlin later that evening. Alarz's victory marks his fourth Grand Slam title and a flawless record in major finals, having previously clinched the US Open in 2022 and the French Open just last month. His win denied Jovic a 25th Grand Slam title, which would have surpassed Margaret Court's all-time record, and would have equaled Roger Federer's haul of eight men's singles titles at Wimbledon.
