Lovely wee video clip on Instagram showing the outfit full length - it's lovely when PoW is walking across the court.

I was hoping to share photos of the Crown Jewels this week after a visit to the tower but sadly a camera free zone!

The skirt has lovely movement. She's looking very elegant.

I think it's all very in keeping with the occasion and she looks great!It's not an event for a big fashion statement.

I think today’s pale acid green was my favourite of the Self Portrait variants of this Kate has. I can see why she keeps buying them - they are very versatile and really suit her.

Completely agree @Serenster. Today's was by far the nicest of the two Wimbledon outfits.

The POW nailed it today. Just gorgeous.

I loved the winners dress too!

Eaumyword · 15/07/2023 20:20

Kate looks lovely and fresh. Wafty and floaty and pretty!

viewsoftheshard · 15/07/2023 20:41

Really liked todays dress, and made me feel better about buying the same style in different colours!

viewsoftheshard · 15/07/2023 21:02

Wanted to say thank you for the handbag advice the other day. I’m going to do some proper investigation when I get a sec.

I don’t know if anyone has claimed this tiara yet? It popped up in my Instagram feed, thought it was a beautiful greenish unusual stone until I read the detail.

i can’t post the actual link but if you search British museum green beetle tiara it should come up.

Think I’ll be generous and let someone else claim it.

That's one creepy tiara

Maireas · 16/07/2023 08:20

@viewsoftheshard - the Green Beetle tiara is all yours!

Not a metaphorical beetle then

Maireas · 16/07/2023 08:35

No, and very green and very striking!

Both Will & Kate going to Wimbledon today and our favourite SF Felipe is coming too! I'm hoping he's bringing one or both of the infantas - for royal fashion purposes of course 😄

KillingMeDeftly · 16/07/2023 12:24

I wonder if George and possibly Charlotte will attend today too?

Sophie W has gone for a very 1940s look, complete with matching coiffure. I like her dress and bag but those shoes 🤦🏻‍♀️

Technically only Sofia is called an Infanta. Leonor is the Princess of Asturias, the equivalent of the PoW title. I wonder if, had George been Georgina, she would've eventually become Princess of Wales in her own right?

Maireas · 16/07/2023 12:29

Yes, Sophie W looks great, but she does look barefoot!
Interesting - George IV's heir, Charlotte, was the Princess of Wales in her own right, wasn't she?

Those shoes are so sweaty and slip making. I bet she took them off when she sat down to dry them out.

No, she was Princess Charlotte of Wales rather than the Princess of Wales, as she died before her father became king.

Maireas · 16/07/2023 12:39

I'm just watching the men's wheelchair presentation - I think Kate or William could do that, they're coming for the biggie anyway. It would be nice.

Looks like Kate is wearing an emerald green shift dress. She's with William, George and Charlotte.

Gooseysgirl · 16/07/2023 13:22

I have not been keen on Kate's Wimbledon looks at all this year... too Diana-esque for me! However, today she has totally nailed it 🤩 Strong jewell colours like this emerald green look so much better on her, and not a white stiletto in sight. George is wearing the same brown suede shoes as Will 😄 Charlotte looks lovely in blue, usual smocked dress style.

Her dress is Roland Mouret but she, in the words of a fashion blogger I follow on Facebook, shoulda caught the bus!

And her trusty 105s - Gianvito Rossi must make a fortune out of selling that shoe to royals!!
