Princess Kate received an enthusiastic welcome at the Wimbledon Tennis Championship men’s final, making one of her rare public appearances this year. She’s been undergoing cancer treatment.
The princess is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) and was bestowed with this honor by Queen Elizabeth II in 2016.
Usually, Kate attends multiple days of the championships, but this year, her attendance was confirmed just 24 hours prior due to her ongoing treatment.
Accompanied by her sister and daughter, Kate watched the thrilling match between Djokovic and Alcaraz, and the crowd gave her a standing ovation as she entered the royal box.
The heartwarming moment was captured on camera, and the video posted on Wimbledon’s official account quickly garnered over five million views.
Many users expressed their delight at seeing Kate looking radiant and healthy in public again.
Kate’s appearance aligns with her intention shared in a recent health update to gradually return to public engagements over the summer.
During the prize ceremony, Kate presented trophies to Djokovic and Alcaraz, who both showed respect and gratitude to the princess.
Normally, Kate’s husband, Prince William, and their son, Prince George, would also attend Wimbledon, but this year they were in Germany for a soccer match. Spain’s King Filipe VI and his daughter were also present at the event.
