Before the British Royal Family announced the decision today, Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell said Prince William is the one who takes care of such decisions.

William controls this household and William will decide whether she’s well enough to do this because he’s the one that protects the family — fiercely.
Paul Burrell told Closer Magazine

Princess Kate Middleton was diagnosed with an undisclosed type of cancer in March this year and since then, she has not made any public appearance except for the Trooping the Colour on June 15.

Novak Djokovic received his Wimbledon trophy from Princess Kate Middleton for the first time in 20219

The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has presented the trophy to the winners of Men’s and Women’s finals since 2019 as a patron. In the 2019 Wimbledon final, Novak Djokovic locked horns with eight-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer and beat him in five sets.

That was also Djokovic’s fifth title at the SW19. He lifted his next two Wimbledon trophies in 2021 and 2022 but lost the final in 2024 in five sets to Carlos Alcaraz.

In tomorrow’s final, Djokovic will aim to avenge his defeat and end his trophyless season and he will receive his historic 25th Grand Slam trophy from the Princess of Wales if he wins. Alcaraz on the other hand, will win his fourth major title with the win, as he lifted the 2022 US Open, 2023 Wimbledon, and 2024 Roland Garros.
