Kate Middleton appeared ‘relaxed and elegant’ at Wimbledon, despite showing minor signs of not being completely ‘on top form’ according to a body language expert.
The 42 year old Princess of Wales made a rare public outing today at the tennis championship, where she was joined by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and sister, Pippa Middleton, to present the winner’s trophy at the men’s final
Fans were thrilled to see Kate, as this marked only her second public appearance since revealing her heartbreaking cancer diagnosis in March.
Her previous public outing was at Trooping the Colour, which celebrated the King’s birthday in June, joined by Prince William and their three children, the Mirror reports.
Being a keen tennis lover and regular Wimbledon spectator, Kate received hearty applause as she arrived with a beaming smile at Centre Court.
According to lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling from Mirror, Kate gave seating instructions to the pair and shared a cheery message.
Nicola claims that Kate told her daughter: “Charlotte, I want you to sit here and Pippa, you’re next to Charlotte. Just here.”
Turning to former tennis pro Debbie Jevans, clad in a cream suit to her left, Kate joyfully remarked: “It’s so good, and we’re seated together.”
The future Queen was seen waving to her adoring fans as she took her seat to watch the tennis tournament draw to a close.
Kate has been a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), which oversees The Championships, since 2016, with its official colours being purple and green.
This isn’t the first time Kate has graced the Royal Box at Wimbledon, being an avid tennis fan and regular attendee of the championships.
The Royal Box, dating back to 1922, is used to entertain guests and friends, with an invitation from the Chairman of the All England Club required to sit in one of the iconic green Lloyd Loom wicker chairs.
If the Princess had been unable to attend due to her ongoing cancer treatment, plans were in place for the Duchess of Gloucester, who has been an Honorary President of the Lawn Tennis Association for 25 years, to step in.
However, it was later confirmed that Kate would be present. In her proud role, she presented trophies to winner Carlos Alcaraz and runner up Novak Djokovic.
In her latest health update, Kate reassured that she is “making good progress”, but admitted there are “there are good days and bad days”.
She expressed her hope to “join a few public engagements over the summer”, while also confessing: “I am not out of the woods yet”.
Kate took a step back from public duties in January after announcing she was undergoing abdominal surgery before she later discovered she has cancer.
