Princess Kate has a “50/50” chance of making her customary appearance at Wimbledon this week, with a decision set to be made late in the day, according to Lady Victoria Hervey.
She joined Nana Akua on GBN America to discuss the latest goings on in Kensington Palace with Kate still out of the public eye.
The cancer-stricken future Queen was last seen at Trooping the Colour where she appeared on the balcony to the delight of royal fans around the world.
It has led many to question when we might see her next, with the SW19 championships being earmarked by many given she is the patron of Wimbledon.

“Trooping the Colour was very last minute, that she would appear.
“I think it’s just how she feels that day or the night before. She quite possibly could surprise us by giving out the awards.
“Tennis was her thing and I am sure she has been watching it at home. It would be great to see her there.”
Kate is a prominent frequenter of the All England Club and presents the winners’ trophies.
Princess Kate is yet to decide whether she will attend Wimbledon this yearGETTYThe Duchess of Gloucester has reportedly been lined up as a possible replacement if she is unable to attend amid her cancer treatment.
Wimbledon officials are said to be trying to give Kate flexibility ahead of the women’s singles final on Saturday and the men’s on Sunday.
She was present at the finals last year, where she handed over the trophy to victors Carlos Alcaraz and Markéta Vondroušová.
Kate took over Queen Elizabeth II as patron of the All England Club in 2016.
Kensington Palace has not confirmed any future engagements for the Princess while she continues her recovery, and any public showings may be in a similar style to her Trooping the Colour appearance, where she was announced to be present just hours before.
