As Prince William headed out to Berlin for the men’s Euro 2024 final, the Princess of Wales continued tradition by heading to SW19 for a different men’s final taking place. In just her second public appearances since a cancer diagnosis earlier this year, Kate Middleton attended the men’s Wimbledon Championship final as patron of the All-England Tennis and Croquet Club, a position held since 2016. Princess Catherine arrived wearing a striking purple dress by Safiyaa, taking her seat in the royal box alongside Pippa Middleton and daughter, Princess Charlotte for an epic men’s finale between Carloz Alcaraz and Novak Djokavic, afterwards presenting the winner with the Wimbledon 2024 trophy.
You’d be hard pushed to find a sport with a more stylish crowd than Wimbledon, (although we thoroughly enjoyed Tolami Benson's pitch-side style) with an A-list crowd boasting Zendaya, Sienna and Alexa Chung all who nailed the brief - and you can still shop their Wimbledon looks. Kate, as always, dressed for the occasion wearing a gathered violet dress by brand Safiyaa, Camilla Elphick pumps, statement stud earrings and pale pink mini handbag by high-street label L.K. Bennett - continuing the Princess of Wales’s perfect court-side outfits.
We're used to seeing the Princess of Wales in certain brands, so it's no surprise she chose some of her favourites for this public appearance. Camilla Elphick's eponymous label, in particular, is one she's worn many times. Founded by Elphick in 2014, there's a strong focus on modern elegance fused with a practicality that makes women's lives a bit easier – no uncomfortable shoes, here. From pretty flats with pearly buckles to glitter ankle boots, Elphick has managed to create styles suitable for every occasion.
While the pumps Kate wore initially sold out, they are available to pre-order again now. Knowing the effect the Princess of Wales still has on women's wardrobes across the UK, however, they probably won't hang around for long.
