Princess of Wales receives standing ovation at Wimbledon
The Guardian
|July 15, 2024
The Princess of Wales has made her second public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis, attending an occasionally rowdy Wimbledon men's final where she was welcomed with a standing ovation.
Catherine, who is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, presented the men's singles trophy to Carlos Alcaraz, who beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets. The princess attended the final with her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa Matthews.
Before handing Alcaraz the trophy, Catherine spoke to ballboys and ballgirls who lined up around her, and shook Djokovic's hand.
When she arrived at Centre Court, the princess was greeted with cheers and applause. She was joined in the royal box by a host of A-list celebrities, including Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia Roberts, Zendaya and the former men's world No 1 Andre Agassi.
