Kensington Palace has announced that the Princess of Wales will attend tomorrow's Wimbledon Men's Singles Final and present the trophy.

Since revealing in March that she is receiving cancer treatment, the Princess has only been in public once this year at Trooping the Colour.

Debbie Jevans, the chairperson of Wimbledon, will present the women's champion trophy to either Jasmine Paolini or Barbora Krejcikova on behalf of the Princess today as she is unable to attend.

The Princess of Wales has been patron of the All England Club for eight years, and since 2016 has presented the trophies, moments of global significance that are hugely valued by Wimbledon.

The All England Club has a strong relationship with the Royal family, with 10 royals having presented the trophies since Prince George (later King George V) became the club’s first president in 1907.

It is understood that during informal discussions the Duchess of Gloucester was as a potential replacement if the Princess of Wales could not attend.
