Catherine, The Princess of Wales, made her first Wimbledon 2024 appearance today at the Men’s Single’s Final. Accompanying her was Princess Charlotte and Pippa Middleton Matthews. Kate is the Patron of All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016. As the Patron, Kate was there to present the trophy to the winners.
The Princess of Wales was diagnosed with Cancer earlier this year and has been going through treatment since then. Due to her sickness she has made only one public appearance since Christmas 2023 – The 2024 Trooping the Colour Parade. In usual years, Kate made multiple appearance at the Tennis tournament but this year has been unusual one.
The Wimbledon Organization has been hopeful that The Princess of Wales would be able to attend at least one trophy Presentation this year but they they said they are being flexible to accommodate its Patron’s health.
As she walked into the Royal Box located above Centre Court, Kate received huge applause and a standing ovation from the crowd. The welcome definitely made her bit emotional. She gave a shy wave to the audience.
Ahead of the mathc, mother-daughter duo met with former female champions in the clubhouse, including Emma Raducanu, who presented Kate with flowers. They also met with participants in the “Work at Wimbledon” program, which provides young people with opportunities to work at the Championships.
