For many years, Princess Kate has been the one to present awards to the winners of the competition. However, after her first public appearance at Trooping the Colour in months, fans have been eagerly anticipating her next appearance. And it seems like they may not have to wait much longer, as there are rumors that the Princess of Wales may attend Wimbledon as the tennis club's patron and present the trophies.
But, as many may already know, Kate has been out of the spotlight since her shocking cancer diagnosis earlier this year. She is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy, making her health and recovery her top priority. The chair of the All England Club, Debbie Jevans, has stated that they are hopeful that Kate will be able to attend and present the trophies. However, they also understand that her health comes first and they will work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.
There were previous speculations about who would take Kate's place if she is unable to attend Wimbledon this year. But, according to the Telegraph, it seems like the Duchess of Gloucester is the front runner for the replacement. The decision has not been made yet, as the presentation party is confirmed each morning.
The 78-year-old Duchess of Gloucester is also a lover of tennis, serving as an Honorary President of the Lawn Tennis Association for the past 25 years. Ms Jevans has stated that they are remaining flexible and will decide what the best course of action is once they have more information.
In the meantime, Kate has attended Wimbledon every year since she married Prince William. Speaking of William, he is currently in Germany showing his support for England in the Euros. As the president of the FA, he was seen out of his seat and cheering after England scored an equalizing goal in the 80th minute.
After the game, William took to social media to congratulate the team, saying, "Nail biting to the very end. Well done @England! Semi-finals here we come! We believe." It seems like the royals were just as emotional as the rest of the country during the rollercoaster match against Slovakia. Kate and William both commented on the game, showing their support and pride for their home team.
