We last saw Kate Middleton at the King’s birthday a month ago, so this news came as a real sensation.
What everyone hoped for, and few really expected, is becoming a reality – Kate Middleton will personally present the trophy to the winner of Wimbledon! The Princess of Wales at Sunday’s tennis final will thus provide many fans to finally see her live, only for the second time in 2024, writes the Daily Mail.
Kate Middleton will hand over the cup to Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz, who are playing in the grand final of Wimbledon, and everything was confirmed by Kensington Palace, reports tportal.
But it will also be her second appearance this year. Although many hoped that, according to tradition, she could come to today’s women’s final, Jasmine Paolini or Barbora Krejcikova will still be presented with the trophy by the chairperson of the competition, Debbie Jevans.
How close the organizers were to Kate Middleton missing the men’s final is best explained by the fact that everything was already ready for her replacement, the Duchess of Gloucester, who would have received this honor in the event of her absence.
After the announcement of the terrible cancer diagnosis, we only had the opportunity to see Kate at the Trooping the Color parade in honor of King Charles III’s birthday. Then she visibly shone with happiness in the company of her husband William and children, with whom she rode in a carriage and waved with a smile on her face from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
Last month, she said she hoped to have occasional engagements over the summer, but urged the public to be patient with her because, like many cancer patients, she has ‘good days and bad days’.
Will Prince William be at the Wimbledon final?
Her husband, Prince William, president of the Football Association, will not be with her at Wimbledon as he heads to Germany to attend Sunday’s Euro 2024 final for England against Spain at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.
