Kate to attend Wimbledon ladies’ singles final

The Princess of Wales will attend the ladies’ singles final at Wimbledon, Kensington Palace has said.

Kate, who is patron of the All England Club, will attend the Centre Court match between Czech players Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova.

The princess, 44, will present the trophy to the winner of the final on day 13 of the championships, assisted by All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton.

Kate will be accompanied by club chairwoman Deborah Jevans and Lawn Tennis Association president Roy Colabawalla.

The princess attended the grand slam during its first week, where she watched Briton Arthur Fery play his second-round match against Otto Virtanen, where she sat with Ms Jevans and former British tennis number one Tim Henman.

Joining British tennis stars Sir Andy Murray and Anne Keothavong for compatriot Katie Swan’s match against American Madison Keys, Kate discussed the “challenges” of parenthood and admired the athleticism of the players, Keothavong said.

The princess’s mother, Carole Middleton, and sister, Pippa Matthews, were in the royal box on Monday, when the Duchess of Gloucester also attended.

Fery was cheered on by the Queen as he won his quarter-final match on Wednesday, while Kate congratulated the British player on his win and wished him luck for the semi-final.

She wrote on X: “A memorable day at @Wimbledon. Congratulations to Arthur Fery on becoming the first British wildcard to reach the Gentlemen’s Singles semi-finals in the Open Era, a fantastic achievement that has inspired so many. Wishing you the very best for the next round.”

On Friday, Fery was knocked out of the championships by men’s finalist Alexander Zverev, who will face defending champion Jannik Sinner on Centre Court on Sunday.
