On July 14, 2024, the Princess of Wales made her first appearance at Wimbledon 2024 alongside her daughter, Princess Charlotte. They initially met with players, including British tennis ace Emma Raducanu. The Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte then watched Serbia's Novak Djokovic and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz battle it out on Centre Court for the Wimbledon championship. Later on, in her role as royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, the Princess of Wales presented the trophy to the winner.

So good to see her and she looks absolutely stunning. According to british media the crowd greetet her with standing ovations.
ReplyDeleteYes, i saw it on bbc 1, long standing ovations!
DeleteShe did indeed get a standing ovation. Nice dress and it was good to see that she looked far less tense and a lot healthier than at Trooping the colour in June. Praying that her recovery continues

C'est un ravissement que de la voir avec la princesse Charlotte ; la couleur lilas de sa nouvelle robe est magnifique !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dresses for Kate and Charlotte, love the dots and love the purple. Though the "pleated chest" part might have been tricky, I think it works. Princess Charlotte's sunglasses are just sweet.

My personal standing ovation together with loads of affection and deepest admiration.
ReplyDeleteFor YOU , amazingly beautiful and queenly...
PRINCESS CATHERINE !
👍👍👏👏👏👏👏💖
YOU won !
Oh dear! This dress is a miss.
ReplyDeleteWhy exactly? Can you explain? You don't like the colour? This may be a personal taste. You think it doesn't fit? Could you explain, what was wrong in your eyes?
DeleteGood questions Beth. Dear anonymous, the throw away one liner doesn’t add to this blog … go daring, stay respectful, and add to the fashion thoughts by explaining. As for me, I think the Duchess looks absolutely superb in this royal purple colour and style. I’d own the dress myself if I could - Grace
DeleteThe draping is overdone for a fit and flare dress that would not translate other semi formal occasions very well. Wearing the club color is so predictable. The denier of the fabric could have been a little thicker. There is too much flare so it hangs on her slim frame (see it in motion on the field).
DeleteSuggestion: Her dresser could have opted for a simple swing dress with a little heft (printed or solid) to hide her thinness and add a couple of chunky bracelets in green and purple as a nod to the club. They dress this poor girl too old for her age.
To add .... there is no such thing as princess dressing. Let her live in the real world without the stress of fairytale constrictions.

@Fash You make some valid points. I am not crazy about this dress. I found it predicable. Kate wearing a purple dress, in this style, to Wimbledon didn't surprise me. She is known for her messaging with her wardrobe. I don't know who is fully responsible for her wardrobe, meaning how much the proverbial "they" have to say about it, and how much input she actually has. I agree with you that there is no such thing as princess dressing, just that the BRF has a different standard than other royal families. I also agree that a lot of the time her clothes are aging. I think she dresses to the "expectations", and the people with those expectations forget what times we live in and that it is possible to be a respectable royal and still dress in a more contemporary fashion. She always looks amazing when she does.
DeleteKate looks lovely. I really like her purple dress, especially the bodice. Her earrings aren’t my favorite - they look a bit clunky with the style of the dress. Charlotte looks a lot like William to me.

What a stunning outfit! The dress is gorgeous! And good to see her enjoying the tennis tournament. I.P.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress in a beautiful color. I love the draping on the bodice. The dress is a bit too long too my taste, but since Princess Catherine is a tall woman she can have this length. Nice to see her back and in the company of her daughter.
ReplyDeletePoor thing. Looking thinner and hair thinner but radiant smile.

DeleteShe is looking thinner yes, but she was already thin before she was ill.
To me her hair looks the same as before. I think she is looking better than at the Trooping the color event.
Nice to see the Princess of Wales. Charlotte is adorable as ever.

Beautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely dress, she looks far less exhausted than in the trooping the colour event. I think she deserved the standing ovations, well done, Wimbledon audience!
ReplyDeleteHope the family can recover from the shock in summer and she can use her platform to advocate for less privileged cancer-stricken families in the future.
So sad, HRH doesn't look well
ReplyDeleteYou are exaggerating in my opinion, Catherine looks stunning and happy to be there with Charlotte and Pippa.
DeleteStanding ovations. Well done people on Centre Court! TPoW deserves it. Frieda
ReplyDeleteMeravigliosa Catherine, la gioia di vederla fa passare in secondo piano il suo bel vestito e la dolce Charlotte ♥️.
ReplyDeleteRossella 🖤
Pienamente d'accordo!
DeleteBless her. Her eyes looked tired, she has lost some weight, a flowing dress gave her some volume.

How wonderful to see the PoW with her daughter. She looks fantastic, also great looking dress and color. css
ReplyDeletePhoto N°9 Princess Charlotte has a real “Windsor” look about her.
DeleteCould be Queen Elizabeth or Princess Margaret.
It's a pleasure to see Princess Catherine - beautiful smile today.
ReplyDeleteSuch joy.
DeleteHer dress is of minor importance.
Les tenues que j'aime : l'ensemble pantalon-blazer blanc photo 1, la robe noire à pois blancs photo 8, la robe de Charlotte (sauf les volants en bas). Je n'aime pas le drapé en haut de la robe de la princesse.
ReplyDeleteMoi aussi j'ai vu la fatigue dans ses yeux. Il faut compter une bonne année pour se remettre d'un tel traitement de choc, c'est éprouvant physiquement et aussi moralement. Quelle chance pour elle de ne pas avoir perdu ses cheveux, ça aussi c'est une épreuve. Elle est sur le chemin de la guérison, tant mieux.

Absolutely beautiful. It was wonderful to see the princess of Wales at Wimbledon with princess Charlotte. I love her dress and shoes. Does anyone know where her shoes are from? PTYs little princess looked beautiful too - love her hairstyle and sunglasses as well.

DeleteThank you very much @Annonymous11:19

That’s a busy bodice she’s wearing. It might be too much. Isn’t her dress too long??
ReplyDeleteNice dress nothing spectacular but it suits her well gives her a nice shape, in Wimbeldon colour. I don’t like the bodice, to me it would be better if the draping was the same on both sides, though this adds interest. Love Princess Charlottes sun galsses so cute and a nice girly dress.
ReplyDeleteNice color but I do not like the upper part of the dress. The length is in trend now - it's so called midimax, between midi dress and maxi dress, I like this length. She looks glad and happy and that's the main thing.
ReplyDeleteKate looks lovely I really hope she’ll recover soon she is so strong & brave ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. Catherine looks so regal. I am eager to find a dress maker that can knock it off for me.
ReplyDeleteVery moving to see Catherine again, and seemingly enjoying herself.
ReplyDeleteThe dress in one of the club colours: quite adequate and good. The bodice gives her a bit of volume: cleverly done.
I love the way she is attending her little daughter, making her at ease with all the attention.
Charlotte wears a lovely dress.
The Princess of Wales looks smashing! Her dress is gorgeous--I love the design of the bodice. Charlotte looks wonderful too--I love her dress. The navy/white polka dots are great. Glad to see Pippa joining her sister--her dress is very summery and pretty. Charlotte wins in the accessories category--love her sunglasses!
ReplyDeleteJanet
I like the overall look, but to see her healthy and happy, with her daughter is just priceless.
ReplyDeleteThey both look radiant and I stand in ovation for the Wales they seemed a strong, committed and loving family.
Kudos to them!!

P. Catherine looks so pretty, love the dress. But the star for me is little P. Charlotte who behaves like a seasoned royal pro. P. Catherine has prepared her well for her life in the spotlight and she looks so pretty in her polka dot dress!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful dress, gorgeous color. The twist in the bodice, I like adding interest. The skirt of the dress has plenty of swish and movement, which I love. I love her earrings, I would wear these no problem. Her bangles look good. Its so good to see her looking well and I hope she keeps progressing well. The standing ovation that she received, speaks volumes. She is much loved. She is very humble and dignified. I wish her all the very best.
