Princess of Wales arrives at Wimbledon for rare public appearance at men's final
The Princess of Wales has made her way to Wimbledon for the men's singles final, marking her second public appearance after being diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year.
Kate, who went to Trooping the Colour last month, is currently watching Carlos Alcaraz, who is defending his title, play against Novak Djokovic in a rematch of last year's men's final on Centre Court.
The princess was accompanied by her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and her sister, Pippa.
Kate, who will give the trophy to the champion, has been a supporter of the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016.
She got there just under an hour before the final match was set to start on Sunday afternoon and had the chance to chat with players like Emma Raducanu.
Kate and Charlotte received support and praise from the audience as they sat down in the best seats in the royal box at Centre Court.
Kate grinned widely and greeted the fans as the duo took a seat next to her sister Pippa Matthews.

Several additional celebrities were spotted at the event's conclusion and in the VIP section with the princess. Among them were Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Zendaya, Jamie Dornan and his spouse, Amelia Warner, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
The princess was not present at the women's final match. Debbie Jevans, the chairwoman of Wimbledon, awarded the trophy to Krejcikova in place of the princess. Krejcikova defeated Italian player Jasmine Paolini to win the match.
On Sunday, British player Alfie Hewett achieved a major milestone in his career by winning his first ever wheelchair singles title, completing the Grand Slam.
As Kate stays in the UK, Prince William is traveling to Berlin to support England as they face Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
In the previous rounds of the competition, the princess expressed admiration for two-time winner Sir Andy Murray, saying that he should feel a great sense of pride despite not making it to the final match at Wimbledon.
On social media, Kate wrote a special message directly to Andy Murray, praising his amazing career at Wimbledon. She expressed her pride in him and thanked him on behalf of everyone.
The princess went to the championships many times last year and gave Alcaraz his first Wimbledon trophy after seeing him compete with Novak Djokovic in the men's singles final.
In March, Kate shared that she has been undergoing proactive chemotherapy treatment for a type of cancer that she did not disclose. Her treatment started in late February.

Before her first public appearance last month since being diagnosed, she mentioned her desire to participate in some public events during the summer. However, she also acknowledged that she is still facing challenges and uncertainties.
"I'm practicing how to remain calm, especially when things are unclear," Kate said.
Living one day at a time, tuning into my body, and giving myself the necessary space to recover.
