Princess of Wales to attend Wimbledon men’s final – as she joins William in praising ‘super trooper’ Princess Anne

UK

The Princess of Wales will attend the men’s final at Wimbledon on Sunday, Kensington Palace has confirmed.

It is set to be the second public appearance Kate has made since her cancer diagnosis was announced earlier this year after she attended Trooping the Colour last month.

Kate has been a patron of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016.

The princess shared in March she has been receiving preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer since late February.

Ahead of her first public appearance since her diagnosis last month, she said she hoped “to join a few public engagements over the summer”, but added she knows “I am not out of the woods yet”.

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty,” Kate said. “Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”

Both Prince William and Kate also congratulated Princess Anne for her own return to royal duties on Saturday.

The Princess Royal visited the Riding for the Disabled Association’s championships on Friday, marking the group’s 55th anniversary.

It came after she received a minor head injury and concussion, believed to be caused by a horse, last month. She was discharged from hospital on 28 June.

On social media, the Prince and Princess of Wales called Anne a “super trooper” and added it is “so great to see you back so soon”.
