Princess Kate will attend men’s Wimbledon final, palace says

Catherine, Princess of Wales, will attend the Wimbledon men’s final Sunday in what will be her second public appearance since she announced her cancer diagnosis in March, Kensington Palace confirmed Saturday.

Catherine, who has been seen at one official event since December, will be at Centre Court to watch defending champion Carlos Alcaraz play Novak Djokovic. She will not, however, attend the women’s final Saturday.

She last appeared in public to attend King Charles III’s birthday parade in June. Before that appearance, she released a statement saying that she was making good progress with her treatment but that there were “good days and bad days.”

Catherine, 42, added that chemotherapy and other care would continue for a few more months.

Since 2016, the princess still widely known as Kate Middleton has been the royal patron of the All England Club. As part of her duties, she typically presents the trophy to the winners of the men’s and women’s singles final.

According to a Wimbledon spokesperson, Catherine requested that Deborah Jevans, the chair of the All England Club, present the women’s singles trophy this year.
