In a display of royal support for British tennis, the Princess of Wales, formerly known as Kate Middleton, graced the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon on Thursday. She met fans waiting in the iconic Queue since early morning and sat next to three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray during the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. The princess, who announced her cancer remission last year, is a patron of the All England Club. Upon arrival, she visited The Queue, interacting with attendees and honorary stewards who manage the area. She also spent time with children from Shine Camera Club, a local program for disadvantaged youth. As she made her way to Court 18, crowds gathered, and she was greeted by Deborah Jevans, the All England Club chair, and Tim Henman, a former Wimbledon semifinalist. Kate watched Arthur Fery's match against Otto Virtanen before attending Katie Swan's match against Madison Keys at No. 1 Court. Despite not knowing the princess was watching, both players expressed honor to play in her presence. Last year, Kate presented the winners’ trophies to Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner on consecutive days at Centre Court. In 2024, she attended the men's final despite recovering from cancer, witnessing Carlos Alcaraz's win over Novak Djokovic.
