Prince William will have the final say on whether Kate, the Princess of Wales, will attend Wimbledon 2024 to present trophies. A royal insider has revealed that the Prince of Wales is imposing strict measures to protect his wife, making it clear that she cannot step out without his permission.
Former royal butler Paul Burrell, speaking with Closer Magazine, disclosed that the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis “knows the world will want to see her.” However, Burrell claimed that the “fiercely protective” Prince William “will decide” whether Kate Middleton is “fit enough” to attend Wimbledon.
Burrell, who served Princess Diana for almost 10 years, noted that it is “highly likely” Kate will attend Wimbledon as she is a “huge tennis fan.” “William controls this household and will decide whether she’s well enough to do this because he’s the one that protects the family – fiercely,” Burrell emphasized.
“There’s no way he’s going to subject Kate to intrusion that she can’t handle. He’s so fiercely protective.” Burrell also explained that William’s protective nature stems from his fear of losing Kate, similar to how he lost his mother, Princess Diana, at the age of 15. This sentiment underscores William’s cautious approach to Kate’s public appearances, ensuring her well-being remains a top priority.
As the world eagerly anticipates Kate’s potential presence at Wimbledon 2024, the decision ultimately lies with Prince William, who continues to prioritize his family’s safety and privacy.
