Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales of the United Kingdom, is cheered as she arrives smiling at the Wimbledon tennis championships on Sunday (14) to watch the men’s singles final, in her second public appearance this year as she undergoes preventive chemotherapy for cancer.
Tennis fan Kate, who is sponsored by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at Wimbledon, wore a bright purple dress as she entered the venue with her daughter Princess Charlotte ahead of the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
As she arrived at the royal box at Centre Court to take her seat, Kate waved to onlookers, some holding Union Jack flags, who gave her a standing ovation.
The video of her arrival went viral on X (formerly Twitter) and internet users commented on how well she looked and wished the best for the princess.

Kate, 42, wife of heir-to-the-throne Prince William, underwent major abdominal surgery in January which revealed she had cancer. She has been undergoing treatment ever since.
She returned to public service in June at Trooping the Colour, the annual military parade marking King Charles’ official birthday, and said she hoped to attend other events over the summer.
“I am making good progress, but as anyone who goes through chemotherapy knows, there are good days and bad days,” she said in a personal message written before the presentation. “My treatment is ongoing and will continue for a few more months.”
His office, Kensington Palace, declined to give specific details about the type of cancer or his medical condition, other than to say that treatment had begun in February.
Charles, 75, is also undergoing treatment for cancer. He returned to public duties in April and remains busy, although his day-to-day commitments are being limited to minimise the risks to his recovery.
