Princess Kate’s hidden tribute to Queen Camilla on glamorous Wimbledon outing
While her choice of outfit was flawless as always, the elegant royal paid a subtle tribute to her husband Prince William’s stepmother – did you spot it?
Poignant outfit
Kate looked poised in purple, a color known for its long-standing association with prestigious tennis tournaments. Purple and green were officially adopted by the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the early 20th century and they have since become synonymous with the event.
She arrived at SW19 in a bold Safiyaa midi dress featuring a billowing A-line skirt, a ruched bodice and capped sleeves.
She elevated her bright ensemble with chunky gold hoop earrings, a selection of gold bangles, and a matching leather handbag from L.K. Bennett which she last carried in 2021.
But it was her pared-back tan slingback heels that captured our attention. The ‘Lucia’ heels from Camilla Elphick retail for £270 and feature a patent pointed toe that gives the illusion of longer legs, while the angular kitten heel ensures long-lasting comfort and the pearl buckle adds a touch of glamour.
The choice of brand could have been a nod to Queen Camilla, with whom she is thought to share a close bond.
Back in March, shortly after both Kate and King Charles had revealed their respective cancer diagnoses, Camilla shared a health update on the Princess of Wales. “I know Kate is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support.”

Kate’s mini-me
Joining her in the royal box was Princess Charlotte, who looked divine in a navy polka dot dress from Guess.
While the doting royal mother wore her famous mane in her signature voluminous curls, her daughter kept her long hair straight with the front section secured away from her face in two mini plaits.
After the match ended in victory for Spain’s Alcaraz, Kate and Charlotte later chatted with the Wimbledon Champion backstage.
Introducing her daughter to Alcaraz, she said: “This is Charlotte, cheering you on,” but Kate’s sister Pippa missed her chance to chat with the tennis pro.
