While players at Wimbledon arerequired to wear white,Kate Middletonchoose a different color for all three of her 2023 appearances at the tennis tournament: green!
The look drew many comparisons to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was a fan of midi skirts featuring pleats as well as oversized jackets and sweaters.

Princess Kate returned to Wimbledon for the ladies singles final on July 14. She stuck to a similar ensemble as her previous tennis outing: a Self-Portrait dress with short sleeves, a waist-defining belt and a pleated midi skirt. Rather than mint, Kate opted for a lime green reminiscent of a tennis ball!
When the Princess of Wales headed down to Centre Court to present Marketa Vondrousova with the winner’s trophy, part of her role as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, she gave an even better look at her head-to-toe look.
And in the stands, Kate got a better look at the action sporting Victoria Beckham sunglasses.

For thefinal day of Wimbledon, Kate brought along some family members: her husbandPrince William, their eldest sonPrince Georgeand their daughterPrincess Charlotte.
Sticking to the green theme, the princess rocked a Roland Mouret dress in an emerald shade.

But green wasn’t the only thing all three of her outfits had in common at Wimbledon. For each appearance, Princess Kate accessorized with a bow tie pin representing her role with the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The pin features the club’s official colors — purple and dark green — and is perhaps the inspiration behind Kate’s green streak.
The pin has been a staple of Kate’s Wimbledon wardrobe since she took over the patronage from Queen Elizabeth in 2016.

In past years, however, the pin has not defined her outfit’s color choice. The royal hasworn green on multiple tennis occasions before— but also yellow, blue polka dots, pink, white and more.

The club’s green and purple colors also appear on the hats that are handed out in the Royal Box on especially hot and sunny days. Although hats are typically discouraged in the exclusive seating area because they block the views of other guests,exceptions to the rule are made— and Kate even brought her own headpiece during a summer 2022 outing.

Although Kate wore green for the men’s final on Sunday, her family coordinated in blue. Prince William wore a blue shirt and tie, matching with Prince George in a similar ensemble. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte sported a blue dress — and statement sunglasses! — for her Wimbledon debut.
