The Princess of Wales never looks better (or more enthusiastic!) than during The Championships at Wimbledon. As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, Kate Middleton has made her love of tennis known by turning up at the annual event year after year and usually a few times throughout the fortnight.
She also saves her brightest, boldest colours for the tennis tournament, becoming a radiant presence in the Royal Box. British labels like Self-Portrait, Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda are amongst her favourites for the occasion, but so too is fashion-favourite Alessandra Rich. Her polka dot selections from the London-based Italian designer remain amongst the Princess' most well-lauded by fashion folk.
What is most energising about the Princess at Wimbledon though is her reactions. While most Royal occasions call for steely disposition, Wimbledon sees her throw caution to the wind and move from spectated to spectator. We see wide smiles, hands on face, and as many 'oohs' and 'aahs' as you can imagine as the rallies only lengthen, her wide-rim sunglasses struggling to hide any favouritism.
With the 2025 Championships beginning on 30 June, the world waited in anticipation to see the Princess traverse the steps into the Royal Box. Last year, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she was welcomed with a lengthy standing ovation. And the same reaction came at Wimbledon 2025 when she joined the crowds on the final Saturday to take in the women's finals. Her outfit was exemplar of pitch-perfect Wimbledon style.
Here, the Princess of Wales' most stylish Wimbledon ensembles.
