The Princess of Wales has arrived at Wimbledon for the men’s singles final, her second public appearance since she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Kate, who attended Trooping the Colour last month, will watch defending champion Carlos Alcaraz play Novak Djokovic in a repeat of last year’s tournament finale on Centre Court.
The princess was joined by her daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa.
Kate, who will present the trophy to the winner, has been a patron of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016.
The princess did not attend the women’s final and Wimbledon chairwoman, Debbie Jevans, presented the trophy to Krejcikova on her behalf.
While Kate is in the UK, Prince William is flying to Berlin to cheer on England as they play Spain in the final of Euro 2024.

Earlier in the tournament, the princess paid tribute to double champion Sir Andy Murray saying he should be “so very proud” after he missed out on a final match at Wimbledon.
In a personally signed message on social media, Kate wrote: “An incredible #Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy_murray. On behalf of all of us, thank you! C.”
The princess visited the championships several times last year and presented Alcaraz with his first Wimbledon trophy after watching him battle with Novak Djokovic in the men’s singles final.
Kate revealed in March she has been receiving preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed form of cancer since late February.

Ahead of last month’s first public appearance since her diagnosis, she said she hoped “to join a few public engagements over the summer”, but added she knew “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.”
