Kate’s glowing in green! Princess of Wales oozed elegance in a caped Emilia Wickstead dress and £55 L.K. Bennett sun hat for Wimbledon men’s final
The Princess of Wales looked typically elegant as she joined Prince William and their two eldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the Wimbledon men’s final yesterday.
Kate, 44, opted for a bespoke dress from Emilia Wickstead, which featured cape detailing, a pleated skirt and a cinched waistline.
She teamed the olive number with her £55 L.K. Bennett sun hat and her Van Cleef & Arpels earrings from the Magic Alhambra collection, which she first debuted on the Baftas red carpet in 2020.
The Princess finished off her stylish look with her £559 Ralph Lauren ‘Celia’ heels and a toffee-shaded bag from DeMellier.
Kate added a further touch of glitz to her ensemble by wearing the £110 Maya Torque Aquamarine & Gold Bangle from London-based Halcyon Days, which she first wore six years ago for a royal outing in Birmingham.
The mother-of-three styled her hair into loose waves and sported a smattering of glamorous makeup to complete her look.
Kate was joined at Wimbledon, where she presented the men’s trophy to Jannik Sinner for the second year in a row, by her children Prince George, 12, and 11-year-old Princess Charlotte.
The pair looked highly amused after they dashed out of the Royal Box to grab sun hats during the 29C heat in London.

While William appeared unfazed by the heat, Kate, George and Charlotte used a portable fan to cool themselves down before taking a break and returning with woven headwear and shades.
The family attended Centre Court for day 14 of the Championships, where Italy’s Sinner retained the Wimbledon men’s singles title, beating Germany’s Alexander Zverev.
Kate shook hands with British player Arthur Fery, who made history by becoming the first wildcard to make it to the semi-final in 25 years.
His fairytale run finally came to an end after he was beaten by Zverev on Friday.
But his newfound friendship with the Royal Family has appeared to continue unabated – as he spoke of inviting George and Charlotte to play tennis with him.
The Waleses congratulated the breakout star – who turned 24 – on his run to the semi-finals and wished him a happy birthday.
William, Kate, George and Charlotte arrived at the All England Club shortly after 3pm on Sunday and greeted a lineup of guests.
Kate greeted Fery by handing him a birthday card and saying: ‘This is for you, happy birthday.’

The princess then introduced the tennis star to George and Charlotte, who both shook his hand.
In their conversation, Fery told the princess that he had not played on Centre Court before the tournament, describing the experience as ‘really special’.
He could be overheard telling Kate ‘I hear your children play tennis’, before inviting them to ‘hit some balls’.
Speaking after the interaction, Fery said: ‘I mean the princess came to my match in the second round, it was great to have her there and we spoke a little about that.
‘It was good to see her here and good to meet her finally. She wished me good luck for the rest of the year and congratulated me for these two weeks.
‘I know the whole family are all tennis fans, so I told her if her kids ever wanted to hit, I’m free. It would be good to see them again.’
Asked whether he thinks she will take him up on the offer, Fery said: ‘Let’s see, I don’t know. Let’s see if I get the call up.’
During their conversation Fery told Kate that he is ‘ready to relax’ for a bit.

‘Next week’s going to be nice, I’m going on holiday, I’ll be able to relax a little bit and process everything,’ he told her.
William congratulated Fery as he greeted him and wished him a happy birthday. He then said: ‘What a tournament.’
The royals received a standing ovation as they entered the Royal Box. Kate waved to the crowd before taking her seat on the front row.
Kate, who is patron of the All England Club, presented the trophy to the winner at the end of the match.
Lord Frederick Windsor, his wife Sophie Winkleman, and Lady Gabriella Kingston, were among the other members of the royal family taking a seat at Centre Court.
They joined Australian actress Nicole Kidman, American actor Rami Malek, British singer Raye and former world number one Stan Smith.
Last year, Kate presented the trophy to Sinner, who became the first Italian to win a Wimbledon singles title, after giving the prize for runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz.
