Kate Middleton will attend the men’s singles final on Sunday, marking her second public appearance since announcing that she is undergoing treatment for cancer, Kensington Palace confirmed on Saturday.
The 42-year-old Queen returned to public duties last month when she attended the March of the Colour with her family for the King’s official birthday celebrations. Her last official engagement before that was attending a church service at Sandringham on Christmas Day.
After undergoing scheduled abdominal surgery in January, there was speculation that she would step back from public duties, and in March she announced in a personal video that she was undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
Ahead of her military service in June, she posted a personal message on her Instagram page saying her treatment was “going well” and acknowledging that she had “good days and bad days.”

She also said the treatment is expected to continue over the next few months.
