Kate Middleton marked her return to Wimbledon on Thursday, opting for a vibrant blue suit for her appearance at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The ensemble, featuring a matching blazer and trousers, was complemented by sapphire and lapis jewelry.
Despite warm weather conditions, the Princess of Wales donned the bright blue Gabriela Hearst suit, reportedly priced at $2,190 for the blazer and $1,090 for the pants. She paired the suit with a white Ralph Lauren T-shirt and Carousel lapis and moonstone drop earrings, valued at $232. Her engagement ring and eternity band were also visible.
Middleton's attendance at Wimbledon is a regular occurrence, although she missed the matches last year. She spent time in the stands watching the matches and interacting with attendees. The Princess also assisted volunteers by greeting visitors and checking tickets at the stadium entrance.
Later, she met with the Honorary Stewards of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, a group of volunteers who support the event's organization and entrance procedures. Middleton also engaged with children from the Shine Camera Club, an initiative that fosters photography skills and confidence in young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The Princess of Wales, an avid photographer herself, has been a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, succeeding the late Queen Elizabeth II in the role. She has attended the tournament almost annually since 2011. This appearance follows her recent completion of the Three Peaks Challenge to support cancer research and treatment.
