Overview

  • As patron of the AELTC since 2016, the Princess of Wales resumed her Wimbledon duties by delivering the Venus Rosewater Dish and Gentlemen’s Singles Trophy at this year’s finals.
  • She attended the men’s final in the Royal Box with Prince William and their children George and Charlotte, marking her first sustained public engagement since her health-related absence.
  • Prince Louis remained at home because he is younger than his siblings were when they first debuted at Wimbledon.
  • On-court moments included a tender exchange with Princess Charlotte and a brief response to a spectator’s cheer after the women’s final.
  • She used her patronage platform to call attention to mental health awareness and to promote youth sport and physical activity initiatives.
