Despite speculation over her attendance amid <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/kate-middleton-cancer-diagnosis\/\">ongoing health struggles<\/a>, the Princess of Wales dutifully (and stylishly, might we add) fulfilled her role as Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club by handing out the gilded trophy to incumbent champion, 21-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255917\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255917\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-255917\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kate-Middleton-Safiyaa-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kate-Middleton-Safiyaa\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-255917\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LONDON, ENGLAND &#8211; JULY 14: Kate Middleton on court to present the trophy to the winner of the men&#8217;s final on day fourteen of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 14, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Karwai Tang\/WireImage)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the rare outing, the former Duchess of Cambridge showcased her unwavering allegiance to the crown by opting for a <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/kate-middleton-favourite-fashion-brands\/\">custom Safiyaa gown<\/a> in royal purple. A pigment long reserved for monarchs and rulers, Middleton\u2019s decision to don the hue was deliberate: With the world\u2019s eyes on her, as she took to centre court, Middleton consciously ensured her family was equally prominent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> The summer dress was a variant of the atelier\u2019s Cecilia style. (Available to order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safiyaa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">now<\/a>, if you\u2019re interested in emulating the Princess\u2019 taste for your next outing).

Indeed, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/kate-middleton-princess-charlotte-prince-george\/\">Princess Charlotte<\/a>, who joined her mother and aunt, Pippa Middleton, courtside in the royal box, wore a frilly polka dot dress similar to the navy and peplum Alessandra Rich style her <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/kate-middleton-reworn-outfits\/\">mother wore during the 2022 championship.<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255913\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255913\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-255913\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kate-Middleton-Wimbledon-2022-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kate-Middleton-Wimbledon-2022\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-255913\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LONDON, ENGLAND &#8211; JULY 10: Kate Middleton looks on during the trophy ceremony following the Men&#8217;s Singles Final match between Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Nick Kyrgios of Australia on day fourteen of The Championships Wimbledon 2022 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 10, 2022 in London, England.

Quiet the summer for this little Princess. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Earlier in the season, Middleton returned to the public with a quiet attendance at <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/meghan-markle-trooping-the-colour-2024\/\">Trooping the Colour<\/a>, where she joined her family and head of state, King Charles III, for the traditional fly-over celebrations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Her <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/kate-middleton-return-to-work-plan\/\">roadmap to a full recovery was not linear<\/a>, however, with Middleton announcing she was<a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/kate-middleton-cancer-treatments-statement\/\"> \u201cnot out of the woods\u201d despite<\/a> having \u201cturned a corner\u201d.

Since being appointed as patron by the late <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/articles\/queen-elizabeth-ii-photos\/\">Queen Elizabeth II<\/a> in 2016, Middleton has consecutively attended every championship. Her spectatorship is a bedrock of the English game, and if Middleton\u2019s megawatt smile and animated displays are proof, one she\u2019s diligent to uphold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255915\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255915\" style=\"width: 1707px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-255915\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kate-Middleton-Princess-Charlotte-Wimbledon-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Kate-Middleton-Princess-Charlotte-Wimbledon\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-255915\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LONDON, ENGLAND &#8211; JULY 14: Kate Middlton and Princess Charlotte after meeting Emma Raducanu (R) during a visit to the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, south west London, on day fourteen of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships on July 14, 2024 in London, England.
