Just days after Princess Kate Middleton traversed multiple mountains in the United Kingdom, she stepped out at Wimbledon.
Kate, 44, sported a blue pantsuit as she attended the tennis tournament on Thursday, July 2, as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. During her visit, the Princess of Wales visited The Queue, where she met other Wimbledon attendees, the club’s Honorary Stewards and children from Shine Camera Club. (The Shine Camera group is a photography elective within the SHINE Merton charity.)
After her meetings, Kate even watched one of the tennis matches.
Earlier this week, Kate completed the National Three Peaks Challenge, a mountaineering event across peaks in Scotland, England and Wales.
“I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back,” the princess wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 28. “The Royal Marsden [hospital] is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.”
She continued, “Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.”
Kate was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in 2024, shortly before undergoing a preventive round of chemotherapy as treatment. Kate confirmed in January 2025 that she is in remission.
“Cancer doesn’t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life,” she wrote on Sunday. “I know this personally and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.”
Princess Kate Middleton is opening up about the way her cancer diagnosis impacted every facet of her public and private life. “Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear,” Kate, 44, began in a Sunday, June 28, Instagram statement. “What follows is a path that […]
For Kate, taking part in the National Three Peaks Challenge helped raise awareness for “holistic cancer care.”
“This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK,” Kate continued at the time. “Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain or landscape you are walking.”
