This was only the second time that Catherine, 42, has been seen in public since Christmas and after announcing a shock cancer diagnosis in March.
Catherine smiled and looked relaxed and very happy to be at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, where she is patron. She wore a purple dress, co-ordinating with the Wimbledon green and purple colours.
Prince William, the president of the Football Association, was in Berlin for the final of the European football championships where England was facing Spain.
Catherine’s appearance at the royal box on centre court came a month after attending the Trooping of the Colour at Horseguards, where she rode in a carriage along The Mall with her children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte.
Last month Catherine wrote about the kind messages of support and encouragement she had received over the last couple of months, noting it had made the world of difference and had helped her and William through some of the harder times.
She said: “I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
At the time she said her cancer treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months.
