The princess was diagnosed with cancer this year and has stepped back from all royal duties as she focuses on her health.

Kate's attendance at Trooping the Colour marked her first public appearance in six months and the only engagement she had undertaken following her cancer diagnosis.

However, royal sources indicated at the time that the princess hoped to be present at two or three additional engagements this summer.

On Saturday, Kensington Palace confirmed that the royal would attend the men's single final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
