Princess Kate's return to Wimbledon marked her second public engagement since announcing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year. Prior to stepping out in SW19, the royal mother-of-three attended Trooping the Colour last month.

It was her first public outing since Christmas Day, and she opted for a bespoke black and white Jenny Packham dress, which featured a black waistband, black piping around the neck, and an oversized bow detail on the neck.
