Rishi Sunak made his way to the royal box at Wimbledon today, using crutches to support himself, nearly three months after sustaining an injury while skiing during an Easter holiday with his daughters. The former prime minister had shared a photo on social media in April, indicating that he was recovering but would still need time before resuming regular activities, including walking his dog.
While on vacation with his daughters, Krishna and Anoushka, Mr. Sunak had the accident and shared his experience online, mentioning his determination to continue working despite the setback. He expressed gratitude for the well-wishes and anticipated a swift return to full health, mentioning his plans to watch sports on television during his recovery period.
Attending Wimbledon today, Rishi Sunak was accompanied by his wife, Akshata Murty, and found himself in the company of notable figures such as Usain Bolt, Seb Coe, Roy Hodgson, Rob Brydon, Dennis Taylor, and Ken Doherty. The VIP enclosure also saw the presence of Professor Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, and Andrew Marr, along with other familiar faces like Dame Denise Lewis, Jeanette Kwakye, and Beth Mead.
Representing Richmond & Northallerton in North Yorkshire, Mr. Sunak was previously seen using crutches in May at an event in California with his wife, who is an alumna of Claremont McKenna College. The couple delivered a commencement address at the college’s graduation ceremony.
Known for past incidents of clumsiness, Rishi Sunak had a mishap in January 2022 while skating at the Natural History Museum, where he accidentally fell, bringing his daughter down with him. Witnesses recalled the incident, noting that he had been skating for a short duration before the fall occurred.
