That caught me by surprise! We had a flurry!

Yes, I think Sofia is about that and Leonor around 5'9. Sofia has always been taller, which made them look like twins when they were younger.

Yes, and they're very close in age, I think only about 18 months between them.

Leonor seems pretty impressive for someone who isn't yet 21. She's already done 3 years in the military and a couple of solo foreign engagements and I read that she's starting university in September.

Yes, I was impressed with that - I think I saw her at the controls of a plane. She's certainly completed military college with honours.

I agree Kates dress is too long. I don’t mind the red but I like it when she wears Wimbledon colours, but I suppose she can’t wear green or purple every year.

Talking of Kate, I got this link to a woman recreating her lovely yellow Ascot outfit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZxugewAhUf/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
(hoping the link to that specific reel works)

Oh I've seen her before, amazing what she can do. I think she's one of Lady Pamela's granddaughters, and India Hicks' niece.

DH is having a new suit made and he was surprised recently when he got a short tutorial from me on Felipe's tailoring:)

Kate's in olive green today, with a draped neckline. Despite the photo making it look like a jumpsuit, it's a dress! I saw some video footage and it's nice and floaty in motion. If I had to guess I'd say it was Emilia Wickstead.

Interesting and different. Is that a Demellier bag? It's cute.

Love the outfit.

KiIIingMeDeftly · 12/07/2026 15:40

I like it better than yesterday's red ensemble. In this one you see Kate before the dress, but yesterday it felt like the dress was wearing her!

Going off that photo I think that’s a very unflattering shape.

I do like the colour and the bag is cute.

Maireas · 12/07/2026 15:44

I'm just watching Kate, George and Charlotte talking to Arthur Fery. The dress has nice movement, it's a good cut and I like the interest at the neck.

It's an interesting colour on Kate - bravo for choosing a little bit different! I love it on her and think she looks fabulous.

Sidebeforeself · 12/07/2026 16:01

I love the olive green dress! That shade really suits her and the shape is very unusual ( in a good way). She’s worn those earrings a few times and they are some of my favourites

Sidebeforeself · 12/07/2026 16:02

I had feared a return of the Self Portrait dresses so good to see her knock it out of the park ( see what I did there?!) in something very different.

deeahgwitch · 12/07/2026 16:08

That dress is lovely on Kate.
i love the Wimbledon brooch

TimorousOrBold · 12/07/2026 16:22

I just love the colour of Kate’s dress today and I the tan accessories go so well, although sandals rather than courts would be so much more modern. Not sure about the dress itself, like yesterday, she seems a tad overdressed.

Maireas · 12/07/2026 17:11

Nice! Although I slightly prefer her version.

Freda69 · 12/07/2026 17:14

Sorry, but I hate that colour - it’s so drab.
Much prefer the red dress.
