“We’re staying flexible. When we hear we’ll then think about what’s the right thing to do.”

Since Prince George – who later became King George V – became the club’s first President in 1907, 10 royals have presented the Wimbledon trophies.

The Princess of Wales took over the role of patron from the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The late monarch, who died in 2022, had served as patron from 1952 to 2016 and, like Kate, presented the trophies on several occasions.

Princess Kate made her first public appearance this year earlier this month at the annual Trooping the Colour.

The 42-year-old delighted fans by appearing on the Buckingham Palace alongside other senior royals, such as the King, Queen, Prince William and their three children.

Although she made an appearance in London, the next time she will appear publicly remains unknown.

Kate released a statement on June 14 confirming her attendance at the King’s Birthday Parade, where she also gave a personal update on her health.

She wrote: “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
