Kate Middleton presents Wimbledon trophy to Carlos Alcaraz

The Princess of Wales presented the Wimbledon trophy to Carlos Alcaraz this afternoon as the Spaniard won the Grand Slam for a second year in a row.

Kate, 42, who has stepped away from public royal duties while undergoing cancer treatment, saw the Spanish reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz take on veteran Novak Djokovic, winning in three sets.

Before passing the trophy to Alcaraz, Kate commiserated and shook the hand of runner-up Novak Djokovic.

Dressed in a £1295 bespoke dress from Safiyaa, the royal was greeted with a standing ovation as she headed into the Royal Box at Wimbledon earlier in the day.

With Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa by her side, the royal enjoyed a tense rematch of last year’s championship match on the grass of the All England Club – with Princess Charlotte showed off many expressive looks.

Before the mother-daughter duo took their seats in the Royal Box, they met with female tennis stars, including 21-year-old Emma Radacanu, who all presented Kate with a bouquet of flowers.
