Princess Kate is stepping back into the spotlight amid her battle with cancer.

The Princess of Wales, 42, made a rare appearance Sunday during the men’s singles final at Wimbledon, where she wore a purple dress with a ruched bodice and carried a tan bag.

Kate received a standing ovation as she arrived with her 9-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte and waved to the crowd.

“Great to be back at @Wimbledon!” Kate shared on Instagram. “There’s nothing quite like The Championships.”

This was Princess Kate’s second public appearance since she revealed in March that she has been diagnosed with cancer.

After retreating from the public eye as she underwent treatment, the British royal made her return in June for the Trooping the Colour, the official celebration of King Charles’ birthday.

Charles is also battling an unspecified form of cancer

In a statement last month, Princess Kate said she hoped “to join a few public engagements over the summer” but cautioned that she is “not out of the woods yet,” as she still has “a few more months” of cancer treatment to go.

“I am learning how to be patient, especially with uncertainty,” she said. “Taking each day as it comes, listening to my body, and allowing myself to take this much needed time to heal.”
