Inside Kate Middleton's comeback: Royal sent message of hope to fans as she made triumphant return to Wimbledon, her favourite event of the year - no wonder she got a standing ovation

Now, the Princess of Wales, 42, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, has once again reassured the nation as she stepped out at Wimbledon in another triumphant return to the spotlight.

Being one of her favourite events of the year, it’s perhaps no wonder Kate, patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, decided that her first solo appearance sine her diagnosis would be at the final day of SW19.

She made a spectacular comeback to public duties last month when she attended Trooping the Colour with the rest of the British Royal Family.

Now, the Princess of Wales, 42, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, has once again reassured the nation as she stepped out at Wimbledon in another triumphant return to the spotlight.

Being one of her favourite events of the year, it’s perhaps no wonder Kate, patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, decided that her first solo appearance sine her diagnosis would be at the final day of SW19.

Dressed in a £1,295 bespoke purple frock from Safiyaa, Kate beamed as she was welcomed by an eruption of cheers and applause from the more than 15,000 fans as she took her seat to watch the men’s finals.

Kate revealed in March that she has an unspecified form of cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy.

Her lone public appearance since then had been attending last month’s birthday parade for King Charles.

Before that event, she released a statement saying that she hoped to attend the occasional engagement over the summer but urged the public to bear with her as, like many cancer patients, she has ‘good and bad days’.

But it was said Wimbledon officials had remained ‘hopeful’ that Kate may feel well enough to hand out trophies over the weekend.

Thankfully, their hope proved to be right and in her role as patron of the All England Club, which hosts the annual tournament, the royal handed Alcaraz the champion’s trophy after the Wimbledon men’s final.

After leaving the court following the trophy ceremony, the princess and Alcaraz had a conversation in a room inside the tournament’s main stadium. ‘You played so well,’ Kate told him. ‘Enjoy the win.’

Earlier, Kate went from the stands down to the playing surface to present the trophies, and shook hands with some of the ball kids who worked at the tournament.
