The Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Kate are set to headline this year’s royal attendance at Wimbledon, bringing their enduring support and elegance to the summer’s most prestigious sporting event.
As Honorary President of the Lawn Tennis Association, the 79 year-old royal is slated to attend three key events, Day 8 of the tournament, the semi-finals on July 11, and the President’s Lunch during the first week of play.
Duchess of Gloucester continues to play a vital role within the British royal family.
Married to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s cousin, Prince Richard, she remains a full time working royal, actively supporting a wide range of patronages and organisations.
In 2024, she marked a historic milestone becoming the first non-blood royal, not married to a reigning monarch or heir, to be appointed a Royal Lady of the Order of the Garter.
Joining her in the Royal Box will be the Duchess of Gloucester, a steadfast supporter of British tennis in her own right.
As Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the Princess of Wales is expected to resume her cherished role of presenting the trophies to the men’s and women’s champions.
Despite undergoing cancer treatment, Kate made a powerful and emotional appearance at last year’s finals.
