Kate Middleton to present Wimbledon trophy at men’s final
Following her earlier cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales is preparing for a rare public appearance. Kensington Palace has officially announced her attendance at the Wimbledon men’s final. She will be positioned in the Royal Box on Centre Court to see the showdown between the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Additionally, the Princess will also have the honour of presenting the winner’s trophy. However, her visit is limited to just Sunday, meaning she won’t be present for Saturday’s women’s final between Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova.Since 2016, Kate has held the esteemed position of patron at the All England Club, which involves the honour of handing out the trophies to the champions of the Wimbledon singles events for both men and women. Yet, the current calendar clashes with this responsibility for the royal couple.
