It is the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world: the “Lawn Tennis Championships”, named after the venue Wimbledon, have been held since 1877. The competition regularly attracts numerous celebrities and members of the British royal family to southwest London. But one person will be sorely missed this year: Princess Kate. Prince William’s wife is considered a huge tennis fan and is also patron of the “All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club”, which hosts the championships. She was a regular in the Royal Box at previous Wimbledon tournaments.
But since it was announced that she was diagnosed with cancer, the 42-year-old has withdrawn from public life. In mid-June, Kate said in a statement that she hoped to be able to “make some public appearances over the course of the summer.” It is not yet clear whether this will include a visit to Wimbledon. The tournament runs until July 14.
