The upcoming Wimbledon men's final is set to be graced by the presence of the Princess of Wales, in what will be a rare public appearance since her cancer diagnosis. This news was confirmed by Kensington Palace on Saturday, adding to the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated match. The Princess, also known as Kate, is the wife of Prince William, who is next in line for the throne.
Kate will be seated in the Royal Box on Centre Court, eagerly watching the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz face off against Novak Djokovic. However, she will not be present at the women's final on Saturday, which will see Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova battle it out for the title. The All England Club announced that the winner's trophy for the women's final will be presented by Deborah Jevans, the chair of the club.
As the patron of the All England Club since 2016, Kate has ceremonial duties that include presenting the winner's trophy after both the men's and women's singles finals. However, due to her health, she has only made one public appearance since her cancer diagnosis in March. This was at the birthday parade for King Charles III last month. In a statement released before the event, Kate mentioned that she was making good progress in her treatment, but still had both good and bad days.
While Kate has been a regular at Wimbledon finals in the past, her husband Prince William will not be joining her at Sunday's match. Instead, he will be attending the football final between England and Spain at the European Championship in Germany. As the president of the English Football Association, William has a strong passion for the sport. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla, wife of King Charles III, visited Wimbledon earlier in the week.
The presence of the Princess of Wales at the Wimbledon men's final is sure to add to the excitement and prestige of the event. Fans and players alike will be delighted to see her in the Royal Box, supporting her favorite sport and taking a break from her ongoing cancer treatment. Let's hope for a thrilling match and a speedy recovery for Kate. On a side note, southern states should also brace themselves for some snow and winter gales in the coming days. Stay warm, folks!
