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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The royal, who\u2019ll present the trophies to the two Czech tennis players at the end of the match, may have chosen the outfit for a few reasons.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s world cup match later on Saturday night (7am Sunday AEST).<\/p>\n
