- On Saturday, following about a week of self-isolation after coming in contact with someone who later tested positive for COVID-19, Kate Middleton made a public appearance at Wimbledon.
- Kate attended the annual event alongside her husband, Prince William, and the couple was photographed laughing and having an amazing time in the stands.
- The Duchess of Cambridge presented Australian athlete Ashleigh Barty with the Venus Rosewater Dish trophy after she won the Ladies' Singles Final match against Karolina Pliskova, clinching the title.
Kate Middleton (opens in new tab) stepped out in public Saturday to attend Wimbledon alongside her husband, Prince William (opens in new tab).
The outing marked the end of Kate's period of self-isolation (opens in new tab) that began after she learned last week that she had come in contact with someone who subsequently tested positive for the coronavirus. Kate's love of Wimbledon is well-known among royal and tennis fans alike, so it was fitting that she was able to be there in-person for the Ladies' Singles Final match between Ashleigh Barty of Australia and Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic on Day Twelve of the Championships.
When Barty beat out Pliskova in the Finals, Kate was given the honor of presenting her with the Venus Rosewater Dish trophy:
The real highlight for royal watchers, though, probably came while Will and Kate (opens in new tab) were watching the match in the stands, where they were photographed laughing and looking every bit like they were enjoying their date day:
On the fashion front, Kate stunned (as usual) in a gorgeous, emerald green, cap-sleeve Emilia Wickstead dress and white pumps:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (opens in new tab) also shared video and pictures from the day on Instagram, captioning the post:
"What an incredible match and performance by both athletes! Congratulations @ashbarty on being crowned #Wimbledon champion.
It was amazing to see the atmosphere and support from the fans echoing through centre court once again.
Well done to @Wimbledon and the staff on continuing to make the Championships such a special event."
