Rishi Sunak made his way to the royal box at Wimbledon with the assistance of crutches today, marking his ongoing recovery from an injury sustained almost three months ago while on a ski trip during Easter. The incident occurred when he was attempting to impress his daughters, Krishna and Anoushka, aged 15 and 13, respectively.
Initially sharing a photo of himself using crutches on social media in April, Sunak mentioned that he was progressing well but would need time before he could resume certain physical activities, such as walking his dog. Despite his initial optimism, it seems that he is still in the process of recuperation.
The 45-year-old Member of Parliament for Richmond & Northallerton in North Yorkshire was seen at Wimbledon alongside his wife, Akshata Murty. The royal box also hosted several notable figures, including Usain Bolt, Seb Coe, Roy Hodgson, Rob Brydon, Dennis Taylor, and Ken Doherty.
Sunak, who has a track record of accidents, was previously captured on crutches in May at Claremont McKenna College in California, where he and his wife gave a commencement address. In a previous incident in January 2022, he fell while ice skating at the Natural History Museum, unintentionally bringing his daughter down with him.
The VIP enclosure at Wimbledon also saw the presence of Professor Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, Andrew Marr, Dame Denise Lewis, Jeanette Kwakye, and Beth Mead among other well-known personalities.
