Prince William and Princess Kate could experience a rare calendar clash this week as two major sports events are set to take place on the same day.

Kate has stepped out of the public eye this year to focus on her health as she continues . However, in a statement in June she said she over the summer.

Many fans have speculated that this could include a visit to one of Kate’s favorite sports events, in London. Kate is (AELTC), the governing body that hosts the tourney, and has attended the multiday event regularly since her marriage in 2011.

In her capacity as patron, Kate traditionally presents the prizes to the women’s and men’s singles final champions in the final days of the tournament. This year, Kate’s attendance has not been confirmed because of her health, but AELTC chair Deborah Jevans has said to present the prizes.

William could have his own sporting occasion planned for July 14, if England’s national soccer team makes it through to the final stage of the UEFA European Football Championship, or Euros.

William is president of the Football Association in Britain and has traveled to Germany, where this year’s Euros tournament is held, to support England in the group stages and semifinal games, each of which the team has won.

If England beats the Netherlands in Wednesday’s semifinal, it will face either France or Spain in the finals. The nation has never won this tournament overall, and the achievement would be a milestone in English soccer history, one that William would no doubt want to be present for.
