The Duchess of Cambridge looked elegant in a polka dot skit and matching blazer as she took in the action at Wimbledon today.
Kate, 39, cut a polished figure in a £795 Alessandra Rich skirt, £675 Mulberry handbag, white Jimmy Choo heels and a tailored jacket by Canadian brand Smythe as she arrived at SW19 on day five of the two-week tournament.
An avid tennis fan, Kate is patron of the Lawn Tennis Association and a regular fixture at Wimbledon. Today is her first appearance at the championship this year.
The royal mother-of-three looked in excellent spirits as she joined British tennis ace Tim Henman to watch Jamie Murray and Brazil’s Bruno Soares play against the US’ Nicholas Monroe and Canada’s Vasek Pospisil in their men’s doubles first-round match on court 14. Murray and Soares won the match in two sets.
The Duchess left before the end of the match and headed to the club kitchen where she helped prepare the classic Wimbledon snack of strawberries and cream. She later visited the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum before taking her seat in the Royal Box, on Centre Court, alongside the Duke and Duchess of Kent and Body Coach Joe Wicks.
Andy Murray, who is a friend of the Duchess, will go head-to-head with Canadian Denis Shapovalov in his third-round tie later on Centre Court this afternoon.
