Kate Middleton is out of isolation and back at one of her favorite events of the year.
Kate and Prince William, both 39, kicked off a sports-filled weekend on Saturday by attending the women's final at Wimbledon, watching as Australian Ashleigh Barty face off against the Czech Republic's Karolina Pliskova.
The Duchess of Cambridge wore a chic green dress for the outing while William opted for a blue suit. Kate and William were also joined in the royal box by tennis legends Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova, who sat behind them.
The tennis-loving royal mom (Kate and William have a court at their Anmer Hall home in Norfolk) is a regular at Wimbledon as a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which hosts the tennis tournament each year.
This weekend's outing marked Kate's first appearance since Kensington Palace announced that the royal was self-isolating after coming in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.
A spokesperson for the palace said in a statement, "Last week, The Duchess of Cambridge came into contact with someone who has subsequently tested positive for COVID-19. Her Royal Highness is not experiencing any symptoms, but is following all relevant government guidelines and is self-isolating at home."

Before she went into isolation, Kate had made a happy return to the tournament on July 2 for the first time since it was canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The mom of three took in a match after helping prepare food in the kitchens on the grounds and visited the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum, where she took in a special exhibition on the Centenary of Centre Court.
