Kate Middleton Steps Into the Spotlight on Centre Court for Wimbledon Trophy Ceremony

The Princess of Wales continued the tradition of handing out the awards in her role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club

Stephanie Petit is a Royals Editor, Writer and Reporter at PEOPLE.

Kate Middleton continued a royal Wimbledon tradition: handing out the trophies.

The Princess of Wales, 42, stepped onto Centre Court on July 14 following the men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and  Novak Djokovic  of Serbia, awarding the prizes to the athletes in her role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Kate has held the position since 2016, when it was given to her by her late grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth.

Alcaraz beat Djokovic 6-2 6-2 7-6(4) in the Wimbledon final on Sunday. Princess Kate last awarded the trophies at the men's final last year, which also saw Alcaraz play Djokovic.

As both players accepted their trophies, they gave a slight bow to Kate. She shook their hands warmly, congratulating them on their victories and exchanging a few words as she presented their prizes.

After weeks of speculation, Kensington Palace confirmed on July 13 that Kate would attend the tennis tournament and take part in the trophy presentations amid her cancer treatment . All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club chair Debbie Jevans told  Telegraph Sport in a June 27 article that they will give the royal "as much flexibility as possible" regarding her decision.

The outing marked the Princess of Wales' second public appearance this year after announcing her cancer diagnosis in March. She was joined by two special guests in the Royal Box at Centre Court: her daughter,  Princess Charlotte , and her sister, Pippa Middleton . As they took their seats, the crowd rose to their feet to give Kate a standing ovation — prompting a look of admiration from Charlotte . Princess Kate appeared visibly moved by the gesture, smiling and waving in response.

Photographer Karwai Tang tells PEOPLE, "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."

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

Palm Coast teen targeted in 'sextortion' case, sheriff's office to host safety presentation

A 13-year-old palm coast boy was tricked into sending nude images of himself as part of a "sextortion" scam by someone who sent nude images of a girl..

A 13-year-old Palm Coast boy was tricked into sending nude photos of himself by someone who then threatened to post the photos online unless he paid money, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office .

The sheriff’s office warned that such “sextortion” cases are on the rise and kids should never send nude photos to anyone.

The sheriff’s office will host a presentation on avoiding such scams titled “Be Smart with Your Kids’ Smartphone,” by the FBI’s Jacksonville Regional Office Aug. 21 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Flagler Auditorium.

The teenager and his parents contacted the sheriff’s office July 7. The boy had received a request from an unknown person on Instagram a few days prior.

The teen received three nude photographs and videos from someone who appeared to be a girl on Instagram. The “girl” requested nude videos in return, and the boy sent three.

The "girl" then requested money in exchange for not sending the photos to the boy’s Instagram followers, the sheriff’s office stated. At that point, the boy blocked the person.

But then he received a voice message from a male trying to scare him into complying, the sheriff’s office stated.

The sheriff’s office took the boy’s phone into evidence as it continues the investigation.

“You never really know who you’re communicating with online, and the FBI has seen a huge increase in sextortion cases involving children and teens,” said Sheriff Rick Staly. “Parents need to teach their kids online safety and to never send nude photos to anyone. There are plenty of criminals out there waiting to trick them. You never know if the person behind a keyboard is really who you think you are talking to.

"Remember, if you don’t want to read it or see it publicly, don’t send it or type it.”
