‘I'm grateful': Princess of Wales makes popular appearance at Wimbledon
In a touching exchange earlier in the day before the wheelchair final, the Princess asked eight-year-old Lydia Lowe – who had to learn how to walk again after overcoming a brain injury – what it meant to her to conduct the pre-match coin toss. Princess Kate then asked if Lydia had any advice for her ahead of her own appearance, and the child replied: 'Don't be nervous [and] take deep breaths.' The Princess said: 'Take deep breaths; OK, I'll remember that. Thank you.' She sat next to the club's chair, Debbie Jevans, and women's tennis trailblazer and former world No.1 Billie Jean King in the royal box, and they were seen in conversation throughout the 57-minute final. Loading Princess Kate also met Wang Ziying, the women's wheelchair tennis champion, as well as Work at Wimbledon representatives Shaniah Williams and Jefferson Iweh, and the club's longest-serving steward, Bob Flint, who has worked at the championships since 1980. Her Wimbledon appearance comes at the end of a hectic week of royal engagements, including her and Prince William welcoming French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, to the UK for their three-day state visit. The Prince and Princess of Wales were also involved in the carriage procession, military inspection and private lunch at Windsor Castle later. However, she skipped the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2025 at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, where Prince William participated. The event fundraises for charities and causes that the prince and princess are passionate about and support. That decision is viewed as Princess Kate adjusting to her new circumstances since she revealed her cancer diagnosis in March last year, even after she announced at the start of 2025 that she was in remission. The Princess' attendance at last year's men's final, where Alcaraz beat seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, was just her second public engagement since she announced her cancer diagnosis. She came with Princess Charlotte and was visibly emotional after receiving a standing ovation. Queen Camilla was in the royal box on Wednesday to watch the men's and women's quarter-finals, and also shook hands and spoke with Djokovic beforehand. The Queen visited Wimbledon to watch the tennis for several years in a row, while Princess Beatrice, her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson, Duchess of York, were in the royal box for the opening day of this year's championships.

Kate Middleton skips Prince William's annual polo match days after revealing her ‘new normal'
Kate Middleton bowed out of a recent polo match. The Princess of Wales, 43, was absent from her husband Prince William's charity polo match on Friday. The Out-Sourcing Inc.

Middleton last attended the polo match in July 2023, where she supported her husband from the sidelines. 8 The Prince of Wales holds the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2025.

In March 2024, the philanthropist revealed she was being treated for an undisclosed type of cancer. Middleton kept largely out of the spotlight in the months that followed. In September, the royal member thanked those who supported her during the difficult journey. 8 The Prince Of Wales attended the polo match solo this year. Samir Hussein/WireImage 'As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment,' she wrote at the time. 'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' Then, in January, Middleton shared another positive update on Instagram, writing, 'It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery.' 'As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal,' she added. 'I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.' 8 The Prince and Princess Of Wales attend the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2023.

While visiting Colchester Hospital in Essex, England, on July 2, she expressed what it's been like to get back into her daily routine. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' the princess stated. 8 Kate Middleton and Prince William at the French state dinner.

'And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.' Encouraging those to find their 'new normal,' the mother of three added that it 'takes time…and it's a roller coaster, it's not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times.' Despite missing the polo match on Friday, the Prince and Princess of Wales turned Tuesday into a date night. The pair attended the French state dinner together, with Middleton dazzling in a red Givenchy by Sarah Burton silk gown and a diamond tiara.
