In a statement released last month, Kate revealed she was making good progress with her treatment but was “not out of the woods yet” and had “good days and bad days” as she continued her treatment. She missed a charity polo match on Friday where her husband, the Prince of Wales, took to the field to raise funds for good causes.

Kate paid tribute to Sir Andy Murray earlier during the tennis tournament, saying she should be “so proud” after missing out on a Wimbledon final.

In a personally signed message on social media, Kate wrote: “An incredible career at #Wimbledon is coming to an end. You should be so proud @andy_murray. On behalf of everyone, thank you! C.”
