During the sporting event, Kate and her husband Prince William were spotted sharing jokes and laughing together as they stepped out for the first time after a COVID-19 scare.
Kate COVID-19 Scare
As earlier reported by various media entities, the duchess was first alerted about her contact's positive test on Friday, July 9.
This came barely days after spending quite some time at Wimbledon with VIPs including Tim Henman and Joe Wicks.
"Last week the Duchess of Cambridge came into contact with someone who has subsequently tested positive for COVID-19," a spokesperson from the Kensington Palace told media.
This came months after Briefly News reported how William himself fell ill with the disease in April 2020, about the same time his father, heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles suffered the same.
According to media reports, William was hit pretty badly by the virus.
