The Middletons are familiar faces in the Royal Box, and their appearance this year was particularly poignant. Carole, 69, donned a floral dress with a white blazer and yellow sunglasses, while Michael, 74, chose a sharp navy suit paired with a yellow tie, reflecting a coordinated and cheerful presence.
Although the Princess of Wales, aged 42, was not present due to ongoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer, the presence of her parents conveyed a strong message of solidarity and support. Royal enthusiasts remain hopeful that Kate will be well enough to attend the prestigious event later.
Since becoming the patron of the All England Club in 2016, Kate has been a regular at Wimbledon, often presenting trophies to the champions. This year, her participation will depend on the advice of her medical team.
Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Club, expressed optimism about Kate’s possible attendance. Speaking to Telegraph Sport, she emphasized the priority of Kate’s health, stating, "We're hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club's patron, but her health and recovery is the priority. We are prepared to be flexible to accommodate her needs."
The Royal Family's affection for tennis makes their presence at the event a cherished tradition, with Kate having played a prominent role in recent years.
