Lip reader Jeremy Freeman has analysed the moment they arrived at the court and revealed what was said between the two.

He told The Sun that Princess Kate asked Charlotte to “come over here”, as they got to their seats.

Kate then thanked the lady who had accompanied them and proceeded to wave to the crowd, who were up on their feet applauding.

The Princess of Wales said “hi” to the spectators and later turned to the lady next to her, saying “so sweet”.

This was Kate’s first public appearance in almost a month.

She was last seen at Trooping the Colour – with Prince William proudly standing at her side.

Royal fans were delighted to hear that she would make a brave public return while she undergoes her cancer treatment.

Tennis bosses revealed they remained hopeful the Princess of Wales would head to Wimbledon this year.

AELTC chair Debbie previously said they were “staying flexible” over who will present trophies.

Traditionally Kate does the honour, in her role as patron of the group.

Debbie told Telegraph Sport: “We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery is the priority. 

“We don’t know what we don’t know. All we’ve said is that we’ll work with her and give her as much flexibility as possible.”

She added: “I don’t know who would present the trophies as an alternative – that’s something to consider nearer the time if necessary. 

“We’re staying flexible. When we hear we’ll then think about what’s the right thing to do.”

Legendary former royal correspondent Charles Rae told The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show there is a big reason why Wimbledon organisers would “love” to have her back.

Speaking to our Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, he said: “I think the people at Wimbledon would love to have Catherine back in again because it will boost the viewing audience and boost people being there. 

“The problem with it is that when we first found out about her cancer, various people were putting dates on about when she was due to come back. 

“She was going to be back in late April, she’s going to be back for Trooping or back for whatever.

“We just don’t know when she is going to be back.”

Another expert previously said Kate “would love” to go to Wimbledon this year if her health allows.

Emily Andrews told Grazia magazine: “Her treatment is ongoing, and will be for the next few months, but I understand she would like to visit the Wimbledon tennis tournament — she is a patron — if she feels up to it.”
