# Kate Middleton & Noskova: Royal duties, fashion, Wimbledon > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/princess-kates-first-solo-italy-trip-after-cancer-remission-sparks-public-reaction > Updated: 2026-09-08T02:12:16.000Z. Sources: 388. Developments: 41. In early May 2026, Princess Catherine made her first solo overseas engagement since her cancer remission, travelling to Reggio Emilia to champion early-childhood education. She received the city’s highest civic honour, toured a preschool, and joined a public pasta-making workshop. Her visit inspired a new Reggio-style preschool project in Besozzo and highlighted the Prince’s continued diplomatic work. At Wimbledon in July, Kate, patron of the All England Club, presented the Venus Rosewater Dish to Czech champion Linda Noskova. Noskova’s 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 victory over compatriot Karolina Muchova made her the youngest women’s champion since 2011. Following her win, Noskova reflected that the title had not altered her daily routine despite heightened attention. She cited Serena Williams as an idol and urged young athletes to embrace failure as part of growth. Since her Wimbledon triumph, Noskova has continued to build momentum on the WTA Tour, securing victories at the Cincinnati Open and reaching a career-best sixth in the WTA world rankings. During the US Open, she reached the quarterfinals for the first time after defeating Marta Kostyuk. However, her run ended in the quarterfinals against world number one Aryna Sabalenka. In a grueling three-set match, Sabalenka secured a 7-6 (1), 3-6, 7-6 (10-7) victory, extending her winning streak at Flushing Meadows to 18 matches and keeping her bid for a third consecutive US Open title alive. ## Claims - Caty McNally defeated Linda Noskova 7-6(5) 6-1 in the second round of the National Bank Open in Toronto.
