The Princess of Wales arrived at Wimbledon on Saturday (Sunday morning AEST) for the Ladies’ Singles final looking radiant in a belted red Roland Mouret dress.
Before taking her seat in the Royal Box to watch Karolína Muchová battle her fellow country woman Linda Nosková in the match, Kate met with players, officials and volunteers.

Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), accessorised the wool origami peplum drape dress with her green and purple Wimbledon brooch.
The 44-year-old also added a ruby and diamond pendant, with matching drop earrings, to complete the look and pulled her long wavy locks into a half up-do to show them off.
The royal, who’ll present the trophies to the two Czech tennis players at the end of the match, may have chosen the outfit for a few reasons.
Kate is famously very good at diplomatic dressing and the red outfit gives a nod to the Czechia flag, as well as dressing in theme for England’s world cup match later on Saturday night (7am Sunday AEST).

Many fans online considered the look a nod to the famous strawberries and cream tradition at Wimbledon.
This isn’t the first time Catherine has been seen at the 2026 tournament.
The princess made an unannounced appearance on July 2, surprising attendees by chatting to them as they queued for entry and even trying her hand at selling tickets.

She was dressed for a summer’s day at the tennis in a blue linen pantsuit by Gabriela Hearst, which she teamed with a white top.
After mingling with fans, she watched two matches, cheering on English players Arthur Fery and Katie Swan as they took on Finland’s Otto Virtanen and the USA’s Madison Keys respectively.
Though we’re used to seeing her in the Royal Box, Catherine opted to sit in the regular courtside seats.

She even participated in the Wimbledon Instagram account’s ‘Overheard’ video series, with hidden microphones capturing snippets of her conversation.
In the candid clip, shared to the page’s thousands of followers, she reacted to the action on court and reflected on the National Three Peaks Challenge she recently completed to raise funds for cancer research.
As royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club – a position she was given by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2016 – Catherine is a mainstay at Wimbledon each year.
She enjoys watching tennis, but is also a keen player; her new home in Windsor, Forest Lodge, even boasts a court.
