Like the rest of the UK, we were absolutely delighted to see the stunning Princess of Wales take to the Royal Box at Wimbledon just in time to catch the Men's Singles Final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.
The beautiful mother-of-three, who has kept a low profile over the last year due to her ongoing treatment for cancer, looked bold and beautiful in bright purple dress by Safiyaa as she graced the Royal Box on Centre Court.

Kate and her love for tennis
Kate has always adored tennis and is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC). Traditionally, she presents trophies to the Wimbledon champion each year.

It's such a quintessential part of the English summer, and I think it really inspires youngsters, myself, it inspired me when I was younger to get involved in the game. It hasn't changed either, I think that's what's so wonderful."
Kate's last public appearance
We last saw Kate - who is taking a break from royal duties following her cancer diagnosis - during Trooping the Colour last month.

She added a pair of 'Romy 85 Optic White Leather Pumps' from Jimmy Choo and the 'Bayswater Black Suede Clutch' from Mulberry. Kate topped the look off with a Philip Treacy hat which was a saucer shape and featured black detailing that rose vertically out the top. Sublime.
Kate's diagnosis
Kate shared the news of her diagnosis in a personal video message in March, explaining that at the time of her abdominal surgery in January, her condition was believed to be non-cancerous. However, post-operative tests found cancer had been present.

The princess began having treatment for her cancer diagnosis in late February this year.
Prince William updated the public on his wife's condition in May, saying "she's doing well" when questioned by a hospital administrator.
