The Princess of Wales has attended the women’s singles final at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

Kate waved to crowds as she arrived at the championships in SW19, ahead of the match between America’s Amanda Anisimova and Poland’s Iga Swiatek.<\/p>\n

The royal, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, presented the trophy to winner Swiatek on Centre Court after the Polish player’s dominant 6-0, 6-0 victory<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Kate shook hands with children, including 12-year-old Sophie Kneen, who performed the coin toss at the ladies’ final.<\/p>\n

She also met Bob Flint, Wimbledon’s longest serving honorary steward, and Ziying Wang, the champion of the ladies singles wheelchair final.<\/p>\n

It is unknown if the princess will be back at Wimbledon on Sunday when Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner go head-to-head for the men’s singles final.<\/p>\n

Her arrival came shortly after British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made Wimbledon history by winning the men’s doubles title for the first time in 89 years.<\/p>\n

The pair became the first all-British pair to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey in 1936.<\/p>\n

Last year, Kate presented the Wimbledon men’s final trophy to Alcaraz, in what was her second public engagement since she announced her cancer diagnosis<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She watched the match between the current world number two and Novak Djokovic from the royal box with her daughter, Princess Charlotte.<\/p>\n

However, she missed the chance to present Barbora Krejcikova with the trophy after she defeated Jasmine Paolini at last year’s women’s singles final.<\/p>\n

Already this year, the Princess of Wales’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, have been seen in the royal box, with the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Gloucester also in attendance.<\/p>\n
