Kate Middleton carried on a long-standing royal tradition at Wimbledon by presenting the trophies to the winners. The Princess of Wales, who is 42 years old, made her way onto Centre Court on July 14, after the men’s singles final between Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain. In her capacity as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she presented the awards to the sportsmen. Since the year 2016, when her late grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth bestowed upon her the rank, Kate has been performing the duties associated with it.
On Sunday, Alcaraz prevailed against Djokovic in the final of Wimbledon with a score of 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4). In the previous year, Princess Kate presented the trophies to the winners of the men’s final, which also included Alcaraz competing against Djokovic.
The two players gave Kate a small bow as they took their prizes, which they acknowledged. During the presentation of their trophies, she extended a warm handshake to each of them, congratulated them on their successes, and engaged in a brief conversation with them.
Following many weeks of speculation, Kensington Palace announced on July 13 that Kate would be present at the tennis event and would take part in the presentation of the trophies even though she is undergoing treatment for cancer. During an interview with Telegraph Sport on June 27, Debbie Jevans, head of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, said that the organization would provide the princess with “as much flexibility as possible” about her selection.
Following the announcement of her cancer diagnosis in March, the Princess of Wales made her second public appearance of the year on this particular tour. Princess Charlotte, her daughter, and Pippa Middleton, Middleton’s sister, were the two special guests who joined her in the Royal Box at Centre Court. Charlotte’s expression changed to one of appreciation as she saw the audience rise to their feet and offer Kate a standing ovation as they took their seats. It was clear that the gesture had a profound impact on Princess Kate, as she smiled and waved in reaction to it.
