The princess acknowledged the adoring fans with two waves as she arrived at 1.45pm.
Led through the bridge to Centre Court, Catherine prepared to present the trophy to either Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz, who were set to compete in the men’s final later in the day.
Charlotte, no stranger to Centre Court, had attended the event the previous year with her brother Prince George, witnessing Carlos emerge victorious.
Beaming with pride, Charlotte looked on as her mother, visibly moved, waved to the crowd.
The applause that followed marked a poignant public appearance for Catherine, her second since revealing her cancer diagnosis.
Reports from royal insiders revealed the meticulous planning that went into the event.
Catherine’s decision to participate was contingent upon her energy levels, following weeks of private preparations.
The royal siblings, George and Charlotte, were seen cheering animatedly as the match unfolded, dressed in coordinated blue outfits.

The pair looked resplendent in matching colors, evoking admiration from onlookers.
Catherine’s presence at Wimbledon signaled a positive turn in her health journey, hinting at a potential recovery.
