Novak Djokovic today takes on reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles final in front of the Princess of Wales and her daughter Charlotte. 

The 24-time Grand Slam winner will battle it out with the 21-year-old Spaniard on Centre Court at SW19. 

A beaming Princess Kate waved as she was welcomed with huge cheers and applause from the crowd as she headed to the front row of the Royal Box with her daughter Princess Charlotte, 9.

It is just her second public engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March.

The royal, who opted for a purple dress, is a huge tennis fan and is a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and will present the trophy to the winner on court.

Princess Kate arrived at the tennis tournament in SW19 less than an hour before the final was due to begin on Sunday afternoon.

Serbian Djokovic will bid to become the oldest Wimbledon champion at the age of 37 and extend his record-breaking Grand Slam tally to 25.

Kate has been undergoing chemotherapy and made her first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in London last month.

She did not attend the women’s singles final on Saturday, and Wimbledon chairwoman Debbie Jevans presented the trophy to Barbora Krejcikova on her behalf.

Actors Tom Cruise, Zendaya and Hugh Jackman were among the celebrities attending Centre Court as Czech player Krejcikova fought off Italian Jasmine Paolini to claim a 6-2 2-6 6-4 victory.

Benedict Cumberbatch wore a blue suit while wife Sophie Hunter stunned in an eye-catching yellow dress as they arrived hand-in-hand.

Meanwhile, Tom Hiddleston and Zawe Ashton were dressed in Ralph Lauren as they made a rare public appearance together on day 14 of the competition.

Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, 71, looked dapper in a navy suit and tie, while completing the look with shiny brown shoes and shades.

Meanwhile, Andrew Garfield, 40, looked smart in a navy jacket and orange shirt, teamed with cream trousers.

Vernon Kay appeared in high spirits as he attended alongside his glamorous daughter Phoebe.

Lord Frederick Windsor and his wife Sophie Winkleman nailed summer chic today as they headed to the final day of Wimbledon.

The only son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, opted for a classic British summer look in white trousers and black blazer with a pink tie.

Earlier in the tournament, Kate paid tribute to double champion Sir Andy Murray, saying he should be ‘so very proud’ after he missed out on a final chance at Wimbledon.

In a personally-signed message on social media, the princess wrote: ‘An incredible £Wimbledon career comes to an end. You should be so very proud @andy-murray. On behalf of all of us, thank you! C.’

Sir Andy was due to play mixed doubles with Emma Raducanu but the former US Open champion pulled out of the clash, citing stiffness in her right wrist.

Kate visited the championships several times last year and presented Alcaraz with his first Wimbledon trophy after watching him battle Djokovic in the men’s singles final.

On Friday, Kate missed a charity polo match as husband William took to the field to raise funds for good causes at Guards Polo Club in Windsor Great Park.

In a statement released last month, the princess revealed she is making good progress but ‘not out of the woods yet’ and has ‘good days and bad days’ as she continues her treatment.

The Prince of Wales, president of the Football Association, will be in Berlin later on Sunday to attend England’s Euro 2024 final against Spain.

Some spectators at Wimbledon could be seen wearing white England football shirts at the championships on Sunday morning.
