Princess Catherine of Wales performed in royal style at Wimbledon on Sunday. This was her second public appearance since announcing that she was suffering from cancer. Kate, a tennis fanatic and player herself, was greeted with loud applause as she entered the Royal Box of the Center Court. She was accompanied by her daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa Matthews.
Adding to the excitement of the day, Kate presented the champion’s trophy to Carlos Alcaraz, who emerged victorious after a thrilling three-set match against Novak Djokovic. Her stunning appearance, made even more striking by a stunning purple Safia dress, added to the energy of this momentous occasion.

This public appearance is a welcome return for the princess, who stepped aside from some royal duties after revealing her cancer diagnosis in March. The palace has confirmed she is currently undergoing preventive treatment. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales will cheer on England at the Euro finals held in Berlin. He sent the team a rallying cry, urging them to “show the world what you are made of” in their match against Spain.
He had earlier sent a message to Scottish tennis legend Andy Murray on social media, writing: “An incredible #Wimbledon career has come to an end. You should be so proud @andy_murray. From all of us, thank you! C.”
Catherine returned to British public life for the first time since her diagnosis last month, attending a military parade in London officially marking the birthday of King Charles III.
The incident came nearly three months after Kate revealed she was receiving chemotherapy treatment. She had not been seen at a public event since last year’s Christmas Day service.
In a statement at the time, he said he was “progressing well” in his treatment, which would last several months, but that the condition “has not yet fully recovered”.
The cancer announcement comes just weeks after it was revealed British head of state Charles had also been diagnosed with the disease.
Neither of them revealed what type of cancer they had.
