LONDON
– Kate, the Princess of Wales, was scheduled to return to
Wimbledon
on Sunday along with her husband Prince William and their daughter Charlotte to watch the men’s final between
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner
.
Kate is the patron of the All England Club and was scheduled to present the trophies after the match.
On Saturday, she was the only member of her family in the Royal Box for the women’s final and gave
champion Iga Swiatek
her prize after a
6-0, 6-0 victory
and offered consoling words to runner-up
Amanda Anisimova
.
On Sunday they were set to be joined by King Felipe VI of Spain, a number of former Wimbledon champions and a slew of Hollywood celebrities.
Actors Keira Knightley, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman and John Lithgow were all set to be seated in the Royal Box, as was London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Last year,
while recovering from cancer
, Kate did not attend the women’s final but was on hand for
Alcaraz’s win against Novak Djokovic
at the All England Club.
She has been gradually returning to public duties and recently welcomed French President
Emmanuel Macron
during a state visit to Britain.
