Pippa Middleton Turns Heads With Rare Appearance at Wimbledon 2026

This time around however, the Princess of Wales, who made a surprise appearance at the tournament on July 2, was occupied, handling public engagements elsewhere in London. While her sister and mother were serving looks at Wimbledon, Kate met with children’s cancer specialists and saw new developments at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, per People. 

Indeed, cancer research is an issue dear to the 44-year-old, who began treatment for the disease in March 2024. Fortunately, Kate went into remission in January 2025 and has been hard at work raising awareness about the illness ever since.

She recently completed the UK's National Three Peaks Challenge—hiking across the highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales—in order to support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, which funds cancer treatment and research.

“Lots of people have asked me why I’m doing this challenge and partly it’s personal,” Kate said in an Instagram video posted June 28. “I’m so grateful to be here, to be strong enough to walk these hills. But more importantly it’s to give something back.”

Beyond Kate and her loved ones, the stars have been making the trip to the grounds to take in some tennis—and enjoy a pot of Wimbledon’s signature strawberries and crew. Keep reading to see all the celebrities who have joined Pippa in the stands…
