Tennis fans got a double dose of princess action on Sunday (July 14) when Princesses Kate and Charlotte arrived together as special guests of the championships.
Princess Kate sat in the Royal Box during the men’s singles final between Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England.
“Great to be back at Wimbledon,” Kensington Palace wrote on social media to caption images of her decked out in a smile and a vibrant lavender dress. “There’s nothing quite like The Championships.”

Catherine, Princess of Wales, has largely been absent from the public eye this year as she undergoes chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The 42-year-old senior royal announced her diagnosis in March after her unusual retreat from the spotlight sparked a frenzy of frantic rumors, causing those who speculated wrongly about her condition to publicly apologize.
Kate Middleton’s Wimbledon appearance is the second major public outing for the princess since her illness; she previously appeared at the Trooping the Color to celebrate the birthday of her father-in-law, King Charles III.
