In an interview with People Magazine, photographer Karwai Tang, who captured Kate’s standing ovation, explained that the applause marked a rare and emotional public appearance for Kate during her cancer treatment.

“When [Kate] usually comes in, she walks down the steps and into her seat. She doesn’t normally stand and wave. But she stood for a while and took it all in. For her to acknowledge it and take in the applause was special,” Tang said.

“She seemed to look no different from the last Wimbledon. It felt like she was back,” he added. “For them to cheer and clap when they came in was a great support for her. Wimbledon had been waiting with bated breath for her to return, and she was back.”
