The Princess of Wales made a memorable return to public life today as she attended the Wimbledon men's final with her daughter, Princess Charlotte. Charlotte, 9, was also seen with her mother in the Royal Box last year. Prince George, 10, was absent this time, possibly hinting that he will accompany his father to the Euro Championships in Berlin.
The Queen, dressed in purple, is a keen tennis fan and has been a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club since 2016. She usually presents the trophy to the women's singles champion, but this year she chose to attend the event in person. It was the first official public appearance of Princess Katherine since Trooping the Colour last month.
Many celebrities and royals have occupied the Royal Box over the years, including the late Queen Elizabeth, Meghan Markle and Queen Camilla. Katherine's parents Carole and Michael experienced the event from the Royal Box for the first time, with Queen Camilla and Princess Beatrice also attending last week.
Katherine was impressed by Andy Murray's impressive performance at Wimbledon but expressed sadness that Emma Raducanu had withdrawn from their doubles match. The Scot had planned to end her remarkable career at the event. Katherine shared on social media that it had been a remarkable Wimbledon and praised Murray for his achievements.
Katherine's sister Pippa Middleton was also in attendance, marking her first appearance since Katherine received the news of her cancer diagnosis last Friday. At Wimbledon, Katherine looked simple and elegant in a floral jumpsuit by Claire Misan. The Princess of Wales lived up to the high expectations of her supporters, showcasing her talent and setting a standard with her many outstanding tennis outfits.
Now 42, Katherine is in intensive care. Royal fans are eagerly awaiting her return, hoping to witness her sophisticated yet casual fashion choices once she has fully recovered. Here, we look back at her standout fashion moments at Wimbledon over the years.
In 2023, a touching moment was captured between mother and daughter. Last year, Katherine dazzled in a Roland Mouret midi dress, which featured emerald green ruffled shoulders and sleeves. Princess Charlotte looked adorable in a pale blue floral tea dress and pink sunglasses.
Katherine also wore a pale green pleated midi dress paired with a belted jacket by Self-Portrait. Her elaborate look included pearl earrings and nude shoes. In 2022, when accompanying her son Prince George, she wore a polka dot dress designed by Alexandra Rich, paired with black and white pointed-toe shoes.
The princess stood out in a bright yellow Roxanne dress in 2022, which looked like something out of “Beauty and the Beast.” In 2021, she opted for a grass green outfit that perfectly matched her blow-dried hair while keeping the look casual.
In 2019, Katherine attended Wimbledon with her sister-in-law Meghan Markle, wearing a green Dolce & Gabbana dress. She also wore a pale green Alexander McQueen dress, reminiscent of Cinderella, and completed her look with a ribbon waist.
After giving birth to Prince Louis in 2018, Katherine wore a Jenny Packham polka dot dress, paired with a Dolce & Gabbana top-handle bag. That same year, she opted for a canary yellow midi dress.
In 2017, she paired the floral print with a long bob, while in 2016, she wore a striking white dress decorated with butterflies and seashells by Alexander McQueen. In 2015, she turned heads in a bright red LK Bennett dress, paired with a leopard print bag.
Finally, in 2014, Katherine looked flawless in a traditional white Broderie Anglaise dress by Zimmerman, paired with a raffia clutch to complete her summer look.
