Rishi Sunak Watches Wimbledon from Royal Box with Crutches

Published on

Rishi Sunak made his way into the royal box at Wimbledon today using crutches, a few months after sustaining an injury while skiing during an Easter holiday with his daughters. The former prime minister had shared a photo of himself with the walking aids on social media in April, mentioning his ongoing recovery and the impact on his daily activities, including walking his dog.

During the ski trip with his daughters, Krishna and Anoushka, Sunak had an accident and later informed his followers online about the incident, attributing it to a moment of overconfidence on the slopes. Despite his determination to continue his work engagements, he acknowledged the limitations imposed by his injury and expressed gratitude for the well-wishes he received.

Accompanied by his wife, Akshata Murty, Sunak observed the Wimbledon matches from the royal box, where he was in the company of various notable personalities, such as Usain Bolt, Seb Coe, Roy Hodgson, Rob Brydon, Dennis Taylor, and Ken Doherty. The VIP enclosure also hosted Professor Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, and Andrew Marr. Notable figures like Dame Denise Lewis, Jeanette Kwakye, and Beth Mead were also present at the event.

Representing Richmond & Northallerton in North Yorkshire as a Member of Parliament, Sunak had previously been seen using crutches in May at an event at Claremont McKenna College in California, where he and his wife delivered a commencement address. This incident adds to Sunak’s history of clumsiness, with a previous mishap at the Natural History Museum in January 2022 when he fell while ice skating, pulling his daughter down with him.
