1 min readIt’s been a busy week for the British royal family—and it just keeps getting busier. Prince Harry (and later Duchess Meghan and the kids) touched down in the United Kingdom for the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games; King Charles III and Queen Camilla hosted the Sussexes at Highgrove House; and the Prince and Princess of Wales packed their schedules full with public appearances (Evelina London Children’s Hospital) and charity events (the Royal Charity Polo Cup) alike. And then there’s Wimbledon.
No stranger to a royal guest, the tennis tournament welcomed Princess Kate on July 11 for the Ladies’ Singles Final, marking the future queen’s second appearance of the 2026 season. And as she made her way to the royal box, all eyes were on her and her new bright-red dress.
The piece, a rare debut from the avid outfit-repeat advocate, was recognizable by its folded origami-draped peplum detailing. Courtesy of one of her go-to designers, Roland Mouret, it was crafted from wool with a V-neck silhouette, short sleeves, and relaxed midi-length skirt. A fabric-covered belt topped things off for a bit of added structure.
The princess pinned her signature Wimbledon bow to the look, signifying her role as the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. For other accessories, she both leaned into the red hue of her dress and grounded the bold color, selecting a set of ruby-and-diamond jewels from G. Collins & Sons, a taupe Tusting handbag, and nude suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.
