Kate has been the owner of the All England Club since 2016 and has regularly attended the male and women’s finals. However, she was not there when Barbora Krejcikova beat Jasmine Paolini for the female title last year.
She presented the trophy to Carlos Alcaraz after her victory over Novak Djokovic in the male final, when she has only made her second public appearance since her announcement that she was diagnosed with cancer.
She gradually returned to public tasks since her announcement last fall that she had finished chemotherapy and participated in the French Salubrite Emmanuel Macron during her state visit to Great Britain this week. ___
