Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton had a family day at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 13.
William and Kate, both 43, brought children Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club to check out the final matchups of the famed tournament. (William and Kate also share son Prince Louis, 6, who did not appear to attend the outing.)
Kate stunned in a royal blue dress featuring a dramatic ruffle on one shoulder. William, meanwhile, twinned with George in a pair of navy suits. Charlotte complemented the crew with a white sundress with navy trim.
Sunday as Kate’s second day at Wimbledon. She went to the tournament on Saturday, July 12, solo, presenting the ladies’ trophy to Iga Swiatek after she defeated American player Amanda Anisimova.
Kate Middleton Attends Wimbledon After Royal Ascot Absence
Kate has been slowly returning to her public duties since battling an undisclosed form of cancer last year. She announced her diagnosis in March 2024 before taking a hiatus from her royal engagements to undergo chemotherapy. The Princess of Wales confirmed in January that she was in remission.
“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” Kate recalled during an appearance at Essex’s Colchester Hospital earlier this month. “You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to.”
She continued, “Someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable. It’s a roller-coaster. It’s not smooth, like you expect it to be, but the reality is you go through hard times.”
Princess Kate Will ‘Do Her Duty’ With Royal Work But Will ‘Put Family First’
As Kate has slowly been resuming her public engagements, she recently backed out of a planned appearance at the Royal Ascot race in June.
“No parent expects to hear that their child has a serious health condition that could shorten their life,” she wrote in a statement, shared in honor of Children’s Hospice Week. “Sadly, this is the reality faced by thousands of families across the country, leaving them heartbroken, fearful of the future and often desperately isolated. Being able to access the support of one of the U.K.’s 54 children’s hospices means they don’t have to face that future alone.”
Kate continued, “As Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and Tŷ Hafan Children’s Hospice in South Wales, I have the immense privilege of seeing for myself the extraordinary work of our children’s hospices. Lifting spirits through laughter, fun and play, as well as listening, holding, caring and sharing, they support children and families through life, death and beyond.”
Kate, however, did not disclose her reasoning for skipping the Royal Ascot festivities.
