Meghan goes berserk as King Charles chooses Kate Middleton as patron of the 2024 Wimbledon tennis finals
On a sunny Sunday afternoon at the All England Club, the 2024 Wimbledon men's final was marked by the presence of a most revered figure: Kate, Princess of Wales. It was only the second time the princess had appeared in public since being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, which made the event particularly poignant. As Kate, resplendent in a regal purple dress - one of the official colours of Wimbledon - made her way to the royal box, the audience erupted into a standing ovation, testament to the British public's deep affection and admiration for the future Queen Consort.
Accompanied by her 9-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, the princess exuded a regal calm despite the health problems she has been facing. Seated in the prestigious royal box, Kate had the opportunity to greet and mingle with various attendees, including 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducana and other promising young British tennis players. It was a fitting prelude to her duties as patron of the All England Club, which she has been fulfilling since 2016.
As the much-anticipated men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic unfolded on the famous Centre Court, the Princess watched with interest the intense battle between the two tennis titans. When the final point was played and Alcaraz emerged victorious, Kate came down to the playing court to fulfil her ceremonial role of presenting the Champions Trophy. With a warm smile and words of congratulations, the Princess personally presented the trophy to Alcaraz, noting his impressive play.
