Kate dazzles in emerald as she brings the children to Wimbledon
The Prince and Princess of Wales took the family to SW19 when they arrived at the All England club for the Wimbledon men’s final.
Princess Kate, 41, looked effortlessly elegant in an emerald green dress by Roland Mouret, costing £750, as she arrived on the bridge at the All England Lawn, Tennis and Croquet Club in the blazing sun.
As she walked across the bridge, she watched over Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, eight, who had joined her for the day – along with their father Prince William, 41.
Ahead of the men’s final between Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, the family met hard-working ball boys and girls – and Princess Charlotte was even lucky enough to make a fuss of police dog Stella.
During her first-ever visit to the Wimbledon Championships, Charlotte also chatted with Mu’awwiz Anwar, who conducts the pre-match coin toss.

Kate’s emerald green outfit was completed with emerald teardrop earrings and the same bow she wore on her chest yesterday, in Wimbledon colors of emerald and amethyst.
Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte looked regal in a blue sundress, while her brother Prince George was the image of his father in a navy blue suit and tie.
However, the Wales family seemed a bit windy as they crossed the bridge, with Kate and Charlotte’s thick dark brown locks blowing in the wind.

The mother of three – who had already been to Wimbledon twice before this season – was eagerly awaiting the final of the competition she loved so much.
The princess – who has been a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club since 2016 – was on hand to watch the men’s final – a match of ‘old versus young’ and ‘legend versus successor’.

Novak Djokovic plays Carlos Alcaraz – who hopes to dethrone the legend. Djokovic is a seven-time winner at Wimbledon and is chasing a record equal to eighth.
But despite experiencing paralyzing nerves at times, such as in this year’s French Open, Alcaraz said: “It’s a final, no time to be scared. I’m going for it and let’s see what happens.’
Either way, it makes for an exciting match that Kate will no doubt enjoy.
She has been wearing elegant outfits all week and is enchanted by the sport she loves so much.
On Saturday, she wore a lime green Self Portrait dress costing £420 as she shook hands with ball boys and ball girls during the women’s singles final.
She then seemed enraptured by the tennis, before presenting a emotional Marketa Vondrousova, 24, with the winning trophy.
When the princess arrived to watch Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur take on Czech Republic’s Vondrousova to win the Venus Rosewater Dish, the enthusiastic sports fan beamed and waved to the crowd below from the terrace.
The stakes were high for both players as southpaw Jabeur hoped to become the first African woman to win a Grand Slam, while Vondrousova made history as the first unseeded player to ever reach the Wimbledon final in the Open era .
A year ago, world number six Jabeur became the first North African woman, the first Arab woman and the first Muslim woman to reach a Grand Slam final.
Kate later comforted Jabeur before congratulating Vondrousova, who told her post-match interviewer that she planned to celebrate with a beer and another tattoo.
As the game began, the princess was seen talking to former tennis stars Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova.
She then entertained throughout the match as she cheered, applauded and grinned as the unseeded Czech became the first ever unseeded Grand Slam champion.
Earlier this week she looked elegant as she wore a smart pleated white skirt and mint £1,950 Balmain blazer.
She wore her hair in loose waves over her shoulders and opted for neutral make-up, with a touch of eyeliner and a touch of rouge.
Meanwhile, she kept her jewelery simple, with a pearl bracelet and £72 Chunky Knot Baroque Pearl Earrings from Shyla.
Kate’s choice of Balmain for her outfit marked the first appearance of the royal on the French label. Celebrity fans of the fashion house include Cara Delevingne and Kim Kardashian.
During the outing, Kate showed kindness as she welcomed her close friend Roger Federer to a special ceremony at Wimbledon.
She was among those who applauded enthusiastically when the 41-year-old Federer was honored for his great sporting achievements on Center Court after he retired last year.
Upon arrival, the princess chatted with ball boys and girls who attended the tournament, who looked like a star to meet royalty, but who all remained professional.
Kate, 41, praised a Wimbledon maintenance manager for repairing a leak in the Court One store just a day before the championships began, before settling down alongside Emma Waton and Dame Maggie Smith to watch the match.
The princess braved high winds to attend the All Lawn and Tennis Club, of which she is a patron, as tournament organizers sent out a weather warning to attendees last night.
