That caught me by surprise! We had a flurry!

Oh Kate looks great in that dress! Nice to see her in something sleeveless and summery.

TimorousOrBold · 10/07/2026 16:43

Wow! Kate looks stunning in that dress. If only I had her arms…

Chimneyissues · 10/07/2026 16:44

She has great arms. You can really see the muscle in them.

Like Leti and Michelle Obama. They never miss an arm day. I am envious...

Goes to show that when off-duty, Catherine can be modern and relaxed. Really suits her

KiIIingMeDeftly · 10/07/2026 17:32

She could be even when on duty! That dress would be great for Wimbledon or one of her more casual summer events.

Sidebeforeself · 10/07/2026 17:36

Gorgeous! I didn’t recognise her at first as her hair looks bobbed.

I agree @KiIIingMeDeftly . Perhaps she will.

I thought it was Pippa

Kate looks really lovely in the gingham, it's a simple style and works well. We're seeing a lot of Harriet and Peter, lots of summer events. I like pale blue dress, it's perfect on her.

Love Kate's pretty gingham dress. It's perfect for a polo match. She has impressive workout arms like Leti!
Harriet's dress is lovely too - very pretty colour and style.

I've just realised royalty everywhere will soon vanish off on their summer break. Time really does fly.

Choux · 10/07/2026 22:07

Maxima and the Dutch Royal Family apparently arrived for their summer break in Greece today. She will return to the NL to open the WorldPride on July 25th. And then the King and Queen will be back for the last Dutch GP in Zandvoort on August 23rd. 6 weeks in their luxury villa. 😎

Choux · 10/07/2026 22:12

The villa is a beauty and very stylish. The family stay in the one on the left and the one on the right is for staff and security. It’s a tough gig for them!

I just came to say how good Catherine looked in that dress today. Really relaxed and summery. BBC have a nice pic of her on her own. If I had one quibble, it would be that I'd have liked a colour other than black, but that's just my personal preference.

(Don't know if it will let me post the pic.)

Kate looks great.
Those arms !
Pam Ayres years ago had a poem entitled I Wish I’d Looked After My Teeth”, I wish I looked after my arms Blush.
The blue is lovely on Harriet.

Its never too late @deeahgwitch I'm 57 and have better arm now than I did in my 20s, thanks to Pilates, PiYo and weights 💪

Being on sticks then crutches for three years were good for my arms. But I wouldn't recommend it. 😁

@KiIIingMeDeftlythanks for the link as I was admiring Harriet’s sunglasses &
wondered where they were from.

I quite like Harriet’s style, her bag is cute.

I love the gingham but don’t like the neckline/bodice shape on Kate.

deeahgwitch · 11/07/2026 15:18

Thanks for the encouragement girls. 💪

Chimneyissues · 11/07/2026 15:44

Catherine at wimbledon. I think she looks quite European for some reason.

I think she's looking quite overdressed but I do like the dress.
