Prior to the match, Kate and Charlotte met with key Wimbledon officials, volunteers and players, including British star Emma Raducanu. Immediately following the final and the trophy presentation, they met with champion Carlos Alcaraz to congratulate him.

As a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – a position she has held since 2016 – Kate is a regular at Wimbledon, often appearing multiple times throughout the tournament, and occasionally accompanied by other members of her family.

This is only her second public appearance of the year, with her first being at the Trooping of the Colour parade last month. The royal has been keeping a low profile while she focuses on her health, having announced her cancer diagnosis in a moving video message earlier this year.

In June, Kate offered an update on her progress. In an official statement, she said: “My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”
