Today, Kate Middleton watched Novak Djokovic win his seventh Wimbledon title. The Serbian player took on Australian Nick Kyrgios in the men’s singles final.
The Duchess observed from the Royal Box with a view of Centre Court, donning an Alessandra Rich polka-dot dress in a navy blue colour.
The Duchess, her husband William, and their oldest son, Prince George, attended the tournament’s last day.
Prince George was in the Royal Box for the first time!
The young prince has been taking tennis lessons for years and has even hit a few balls with Roger Federer, so we know he is a fan of the game!
Before play, William, Kate and George met with Wimbledon staff and ball balls/girls. They spoke with Dylan, chosen by Wimbledon to perform the pre-match coin toss ceremony.
The youngster was nominated by the community in recognition of his fundraising efforts for St George’s Hospital. I believe he’s showing George the special Platinum Jubilee coin commissioned for the ceremony. The coin features the official Platinum Jubilee logo on the reverse.
After Djokovic triumphed, Kate presented him with the tournament trophy. She also presented runner-up Kyrgios with a trophy too. (Kate performs this role as Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which she took over from the Queen in 2017.)
This is Kate’s third Wimbledon appearance of 2022. She made her debut on Tuesday—the ninth day of the tournament—wearing a blue polka dot Alessandra Rich dress. She attended the thirteenth day of the tournament yesterday, Saturday, wearing her yellow Roksanda Brigette dress. She watched Russian-born Elena Rybakina beat Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur to the women’s singles title.
Let’s take a closer look at Kate’s dress and accessories from today:
KATE’S WIMBLEDON OUTFIT:
For the Wimbledon men’s finals, the Duchess opted for a blue polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich. (Huge thanks to Katie for finding this dress so quickly and sharing it with us on Twitter!)
The garment is made from a navy blue polka-dot printed silk crepe fabric. It features a peplum waist, crystal buttons and a 1980s-inspired Chelsea collar with a tie. The dress retailed for $1,535 USD / £1,335 GBP at Matches Fashion. Unfortunately, it looks like the dress is from a past season and can no longer be purchased.
