Princess Catherine of Wales, widely admired for her grace and dedication to family and public service, made a memorable appearance at the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. As a long-time tennis enthusiast and patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, her presence at the tournament marked a significant public moment—particularly following her health announcement earlier this year.
The Princess, who is currently in remission following cancer treatment, attended both the women’s and men’s singles finals accompanied by Prince William and two of their three children: Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Although Prince Louis, the youngest of their children, did not attend, Princess Catherine made a sweet public remark about him that drew warm reactions from viewers.
Wimbledon has long been a special event for the Royal Family, and especially for Princess Catherine. As the patron of the All England Club since 2016, she has frequently attended matches and supported the sport in both official and personal capacities.
This year’s finals saw her seated in the Royal Box, watching some of the best in the game compete. On Saturday, she was joined by Princess Charlotte to view the women’s final, and on Sunday, Prince George and Prince William joined them for the men’s final.
During both appearances, Princess Catherine appeared in good spirits, warmly interacting with fellow guests and players. Upon entering the stadium, she received a standing ovation from attendees—a gesture that visibly moved her and highlighted the public’s support for her ongoing recovery journey.
While Prince Louis, who turned 7 in April 2025, has not yet made his Wimbledon debut, he wasn’t far from his mother’s thoughts. After the men’s singles final, which saw Jannik Sinner of Italy defeat Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, the royal family met the champion backstage.
During the meeting, Sinner graciously signed tennis balls for George and Charlotte. In a moment captured by the BBC and other outlets, Princess Catherine was heard saying, “We brought one for their brother as well,” referring to Prince Louis. Prince William added with a smile, “Louis would be very upset otherwise.”
This light-hearted exchange showcased the tight-knit bond the Wales family shares, as well as Princess Catherine’s thoughtful inclusion of her youngest child, even in his absence.
Princess Catherine’s Wimbledon appearance followed her public statement earlier this year announcing that she is in remission after undergoing preventive chemotherapy for a form of cancer. In a video released by Kensington Palace in March 2025, she shared that the diagnosis was unexpected and had been discovered following abdominal surgery.
Since then, the Princess has been gradually re-engaging with public duties and continuing her advocacy for health awareness, particularly cancer care. One of her notable visits in early June 2025 was to Colchester Hospital in Essex, where she spent time in a therapeutic garden designed to support patients undergoing cancer treatment.
During her time at the hospital, Princess Catherine reflected on the emotional challenges faced after treatment. She spoke about the complex period that follows the end of active treatment and the importance of emotional and psychological support.
As a mother of three and a senior member of the Royal Family, Princess Catherine’s public life is a balance of personal devotion and public service. Alongside Prince William, she continues to support causes related to early childhood development, mental health, and cancer awareness.
Though Prince Louis has not yet taken on public duties, he often captures public attention during family events, such as Trooping the Colour and royal appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony. His cheerful and expressive personality is often celebrated by royal watchers.
Princess Catherine’s recent comparison between her son and historical figure King Louis XIV—shared during her visit to a royal exhibition at Windsor Castle—was another charming insight into her family life. As she viewed a portrait of the young monarch, she remarked on a resemblance to her son, demonstrating her affection and sense of humor.
