Kate Middleton is no stranger to Wimbledon. As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she often attends alongside Prince William or members of her tennis-mad family [1]. But when she made an appearance at the men's semifinal and women's final on Saturday, she had a new companion: her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle [2]. The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex put on a seriously stylish show as they settled down to watch the action. Kate stuck to her Wimbledon go-to, a pretty Summer dress, this time opting for a slim-fitting cream design with black spots by one of her favorite designers, Jenny Packham. The dress had gathered fan-style ruffles at the shoulder and hip, giving it a 1940s feel. She accessorized with a Dolce & Gabbana bag. Meghan, meanwhile, opted for a more modern, preppy look in her striped button-down and cream pants by Ralph Lauren. [3]
It's been a busy royal week for everyone, including Kate. She started on a high at Prince Louis's christening, where she stuck to tradition [4] by wearing a white Alexander McQueen ensemble [5]. The following day she joined members of the royal family at the centenary celebrations of the RAF, where she turned to McQueen once again, this time for a powder blue look [6]. Saturday's tennis required less of the formality of those royal engagements, and we loved seeing Kate more casual. She often chooses Wimbledon as a chance to show her softer side [7], and this was once again the case. Keep reading to see for yourself.
