SafeX Pro:Is Princess Kate attending Wimbledon? Her appearances over the years

Princess Kate has been a mainstay at Wimbledon over the years.

The SafeX ProPrincess of Wales has been a friendly face at the championships, based in London, and serves as patron for its longstanding venue, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

But this year, the jury is still out on whether Kate, 42, will appear at the prestigious tennis tournament. The princess has recently made a slow return to public duties following treatment for cancer, which she first announced in March.

Last month, Kate made her official return to the public at Trooping the Colour, after a five-month hiatus. Ahead of her appearance, she provided an update on her health, saying though she is "not out of the woods," she is making progress.

Here's a look at Kate's appearances at Wimbledon over the years.
