Catherine, Princess of Wales will attend the Wimbledon men’s final on Sunday July 14 in her role as patron of the All England Club but will miss Saturday’s women’s final.
Kensington Palace has confirmed that Kate Middleton will be present for Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic’s meeting, after the All England Club issued a statement regarding the women’s final between Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova.
“At the request of Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Patron of The All England Lawn Tennis Club, the trophies will be presented on court by Deborah Jevans CBE, Chair of The All England Lawn Tennis Club,” the statement read.
“Deborah will be accompanied by Sally Bolton OBE, Chief Executive of The All England Lawn Tennis Club (and) Sandi Procter, President of the LTA.”

The Princess of Wales announced in March she been diagnosed with cancer and had begun chemotherapy.
She attended the Trooping the Colour parade in London on June 15 in her first public appearance since that announcement.
She has presented the winners’ trophies on Centre Court since 2019, when she attended her first ceremony as patron and presented Novak Djokovic with his trophy, after the now seven-time champion beat Roger Federer in the final.
The British Royal Family has a long association with Wimbledon, with a selection of members annually seen in the Royal Box on Centre Court.
On Day 12 of this year’s tournament the Duchess of Gloucester — Honorary President of the Lawn Tennis Association — and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent were in attendance.
