Duchess Of Cambridge Ends Self-Isolation To Attend Wimbledon Women’s Singles

Duchess of Cambridge had ended her self-isolation to attend Wimbledon Women’s Singles.

Gatekeepers News reports the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton has attended the Wimbledon women’s singles final on Saturday after her self-isolation.

Her husband joined her five days after Kensington Palace announced she was isolating due to being in close contact with someone who had tested positive for COVID-19.

After the match, Kate presented the trophies to winner Ash Barty of Australia and Czech finalist Karolina Pliskova.

Although the Duchess is expected to attend the men’s singles final on Sunday, Prince William won’t be present in the royal box due to the potential conflict between Wimbledon and the Euro 2020 football final between England and Italy.

Also present in the royal box on Saturday, was Emma Raducanu, the 18-year-old British tennis sensation who retired during her last 16 matches against Australian Ajla Tomljanovic after suffering difficulty breathing.

On Monday, Raducanu retired in the second set of her last 16 ties against the Australian on Court One.

Seated near the royal couple were the Duke of Kent, who is stepping down as president of the All England Club this year, as well as Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Celebrities present include, Tom Cruise and his Mission: Impossible 7 co-stars Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff were also seen during the women’s final.

Gatekeepers News earlier reported that World number one Barty defeated her Pliskova 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 to win the 2021 Wimbledon singles title.

The 25-year-old became the first Australian woman to lift the trophy at Wimbledon in over 40 years.

The Duchess of Cambridge is well known to be a keen tennis fan.

The Duchess since her marriage to Prince William in 2011 has regularly attended the Wimbledon championships.
