Princess of Wales to present men's trophy at Wimbledon
The Independent
|July 14, 2024
Kate Middleton will attend the men's Wimbledon final on Sunday and present the trophy to the winner, Kensington Palace has announced. The Princess of Wales will hand the trophy to either Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz after they go head-tohead at the prestigious finale.
Kate, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, didn't attend Saturday's women's final with Wimbledon chair, Debbie Jevans, handing the shield on her behalf to victorious Barbora Krejcikova.
Officials from the Wimbledon tennis tournament had previously said they were "hopeful" Kate would be able to return to present trophies after Sunday's final. The princess, who carried out the duty in 2023, is known to be a tennis lover and even amateur player.
"We're hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club's patron, but her health and recovery is the priority," said All England Club chair Debbie Jevans.
The palace confirmed Kate was stepping back from her royal duties in March, after the princess released a surprise video on social media to share her cancer diagnosis.
