Kensington Palace announced that the Princess of Wales will be attending the Wimbledon men’s final this Sunday. This is only her second public appearance since her cancer diagnosis and abdominal surgery earlier this year. She previously attended Trooping the Colour last month, which was her first public engagement since falling ill. During the men’s singles tournament, the princess will present the winner with the trophy.
As a patron of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club for the last eight years, she has a strong connection to the tournament. This year’s men’s final will be between last year’s champion Carlos Alcaraz and seven-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic. The princess has been a long-time supporter of the sport and is excited to be attending the prestigious event.
In June, the princess updated the public on her health, stating that she was making good progress but was not out of the woods yet. This was the most significant update on her condition since announcing that she had cancer in March. She continued her treatment and made sure to take each day as it comes, listening to her body and allowing herself time to heal.
While the princess attends the tournament, the Prince of Wales will be in Berlin, attending the Euro 2024 final between England and Spain. On Saturday, Wimbledon All-England Club chairwoman Debbie Jevans will present the trophy for the female’s final, which will be awarded to either Jasmine Paolini or Barbora Krejcikova.
