Kate Middleton was in the Royal Box on Centre Court at Wimbledon on Sunday to watch defending champion Carlos Alcaraz clinch a second men’s singles title over Novak Djokovic.
The princess, who has been out of the public eye for the first half of the year undertaking chemotherapy, was given a standing ovation as she appeared in front of the crowd. She has been patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club since 2016 but has been absent from the tournament this year until today’s final.
The Princess of Wales came onto the court following the match to present the trophies. It was her first public appearance since she watched the King’s official birthday parade Trooping the Colour last month, and appeared on the balcony with other members of the Royal Family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
With Kate in the Royal Box were her daughter Charlotte, and her sister Pippa Matthews.
Other celebrities on Centre Court for the match included Tom Cruise, Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter, Tom Hiddleston and his actress wife Zawe Ashton, Courtney Cox, and former champions Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt and Chris Evert.
Tom Cruise, Debbie Jevans, Bec Hewitt, Sophie Hunter, Philip Brook, Lleyton Hewitt, Benedict Cumberbatch and Chris Evert were among the names sitting courtside Sunday
Spaniard Alcaraz won the match in three sets, 6-2 6-2 7-6. Spain will be competing against England in this evening’s European Cup football final, and Alcaraz said after the match:
“I will be watching with my team. I’ve done my job.”
Prince William, who is patron of the Football Association, will be in Berlin this evening for the England football team’s pursuit of their first international footballing victory since the 1966 World Cup.
