Kate Middleton’s parents Carole and Michael send strong message at Wimbledon

The Princess of Wales’ parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, have arrived at Wimbledon for day four of the tennis championships.

Known for their regular appearances in the Royal Box, it was no surprise to see Carole, 69, and Michael, 74, attending the beloved event.

Carole looked radiant in a floral dress, complemented by a white blazer and yellow sunglasses, while Kate’s dad Michael looked dapper in a navy suit paired with a yellow tie.

Their presence sent a strong message of support for their daughter, Kate, that she is doing well.

The princess, 42, did not accompany them and it is unclear whether she will make an appearance later in the day as she continues treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

Royal watchers are hoping she will feel well enough to attend the prestigious competition.

Since 2016, the Princess has been the patron of the All England Club and traditionally presents the trophies to the Wimbledon champions. However, the decision on her attendance will depend on the assessment of her health by her medical team.

Debbie Jevans, chairman of the All England Club, has not ruled out the princess’s presence altogether, saying organisers remain flexible about who will present the trophy if she is unable to do so this year.

Debbie told Telegraph Sport: “We hope the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as patron of the club but her health and recovery is the priority. We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.”

The royal family are huge fans of tennis and regularly attend the London event, with Kate presenting the singles trophies to the winners in recent years.
