Kate Middleton has had some of her best fashion moments at Wimbledon. As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, the Princess of Wales has made her love of tennis known by attending the annual event year after year.
She often saves her brightest, boldest colors for the tennis tournament, standing out sartorially in the Royal Box. British labels like Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda are among her favorites for the occasion along with fashion-favorite Alessandra Rich. Her polka dot selections from the London-based Italian designer remain among the royal’s most striking dresses.
What is equally exciting about Kate at Wimbledon is her reactions. While most royal occasions call for steely disposition, Wimbledon allows Kate to move from spectated to spectator. She smiles, has her hands on her face, and makes as many “oohs” and “aahs” as anyone else there.
With the 2025 Championships beginning on June 30, Kate is set to traverse the steps into the Royal Box again. Last year, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she was welcomed with a lengthy standing ovation. And the same sort of reaction is likely for Wimbledon 2025, too.
While the world waits for the games to start, here’s the Princess of Wales’s best Wimbledon looks so far.
