Kate fans spot similarity to beloved member of Royal Family at Wimbledon
Catherine, Princess of Wales, wowed spectators with her unexpected appearance at Wimbledon, sparking comparisons to another adored member of the Royal Family. The royal's presence at the women's singles final on July 12 was a longed-for surprise for fans, with Kate in the crowd for the tense showdown between Poland's Iga Swiatek and the USA's Amanda Anisimova.
Known for her regular attendance at the prestigious tennis event, this year's visit by the princess held extra significance as it marked her return to public engagements after her recent cancer treatment. This was her first public outing since she had to skip Ascot last month.
The mother-of-three exuded "elegance and grace" in a stunning butter yellow midi dress from Self-Portrait, a favourite designer of hers, complemented by nude Gianvito Rossi suede heels.
Clutching an Anya Hindmarch Neeson Small Square Tote bag in a tasteful neutral shade, the 43-year-old looked every inch the Royal fashion icon.
Despite the blistering heatwave, Princess Kate appeared effortlessly chic, maintaining "pure class" without a single strand of her chocolate brown hair out of place.
Royal enthusiasts flocked to social media to express their admiration, with many noting similarities and paying homage to Princess Diana.
Royal enthusiasts gushed in the comments section beneath one TikTok video which shows the royal arriving at the tennis match alongside the words "The Princess of Wales returns".
One fan said: "Never knew such popularity since Diana", while another declared: "Beautiful and so kind, like William & Harry's mom."
Another stated: "100% pure class". Someone else said: "The epitome of grace!" and another American confessed: "As an American, I am obsessed with her!!!"
Kate's poise was celebrated with one comment noting: "Princess Catherine looking as elegant as ever."
Her Royal charm led another to brand her "The Queen of tennis", while one fan simply said: "Stunning!"
References to the late Princess Diana surfaced again in response to a clip showing Kate receiving a standing ovation at Wimbledon, with one saying: "Princess Diana would've loved her so much!" prompting another to reply: "Wouldn't she....! This always makes me cry when I think of this".
Another added: "Epitome of class, elegance and grace."
Kate Middleton married Prince William on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London, after being in a relationship since 2003.
Upon marrying, Kate was bestowed the title Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge, while Prince William took on the titles Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus.
Kate became Princess of Wales from September 9, 2022, after William was granted the title by King Charles III.
Prince William's mother, Diana, formerly held the title of Princess of Wales. She died after a car crash in August 1997 at the tender age of 36.

Conor McGregor accused of sharing explicit photos by rapper Azealia Banks
Conor McGregor has been accused of sending unsolicited images to American rapper Azealia Banks American rapper Azealia Banks has sparked controversy by sharing unsolicited images of Conor McGregor, accusing the MMA star of intimidation. The ex-UFC titleholder reportedly sent her explicit photos, which she then exposed on social media. She accused him of warning her to keep silent about it. In a bold move, Banks posted on X: "How you gonna send a b**ch a some crooked d**k pics then threaten her not to tell. @TheNotoriousMMA n**ga do you know who the f**k I am?". Banks claimed that McGregor had hastily removed the images from their conversation but left behind a message cautioning her against speaking out, saying: "Don't be a rat cos all rats get caught." Banks continued to taunt McGregor with another post, hinting at his supposed presidential ambitions, writing: "Conor McGregor 4 President," reports the Irish Mirror. McGregor's representatives have been approached for a statement regarding the incident. The development follows recent snapshots of McGregor getting close to an unidentified woman on a Florida beach, witnessed by onlookers. The 37-year-old, who shares four kids with long-time partner Dee Devlin, was spotted getting intimate with a woman in a bikini on a Fort Lauderdale beach this past weekend. Snapped by photographers and covered by the Irish Mirror, McGregor was seen with his hand on her thigh, draping an arm over her shoulder, and seemingly giving her a kiss on the lips. His partner Devlin didn't address the incident on social media but instead posted a birthday homage to McGregor who turned 37 on Monday. Devlin shared a fan page's birthday message on her Instagram story which read: "Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile." Accompanying the greeting was a collage of pictures of the pair. The duo have been together for 16 years, engaged since 2020, and share four children: Conor Jr., eight, Rian, four, Mack, one, and six year old Croía. Their relationship has navigated numerous controversies, including McGregor's high-profile civil rape case. In November, he was found civilly liable in a High Court for assaulting Nikita Hand. Ms Hand had accused McGregor of "brutally raping and battering" her at a Dublin hotel in November 2018, while McGregor insisted that what happened at the Beacon Hotel was with consent. Hand was vindicated by the jury, receiving €248,603.60 in compensation. McGregor, disputing the verdict, initiated an appeal that commenced earlier in April. Once again showing solidarity with McGregor after departing the High Court last year, Devlin took to social media to declare her steadfast support: "My man and I have created a beautiful life together. "I love him, I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM! Our four beautiful children whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are! "No one is entitled to comment on our relationship - we trust one another and love one another. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!" McGregor's absence from the UFC has now stretched beyond four years, with his most recent bout ending in a leg-breaking defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021. Although he's hinted at returning to the octagon numerous times, his much-anticipated matchup against Michael Chandler set for June 2024 fell through without a rescheduled date.

Desperate Harry's fed-up of being a floundering house-husband & wants back in royal fold – here's why damage is done
SO Britain's second-least worst prince is on manoeuvres. Prince Andrew 's nephew, Harry, has been quietly negotiating behind the scenes to edge himself back into the royal fold. 8 8 8 Despite his apparent utter contempt for the monarchy, the Duke of Sussex evidently instructed his senior aides to attend the secret summit with the King's communications secretary. Well, so secret that the whole meeting was snapped by a handily placed photographer. A bottle of wine — presumably not a £21 bottle of Meghan 's As Ever rosé — was given to Harry's team by Charles 's spokesman, Tobyn Andreae. A class touch from a team who owe the moaning Montecito one nothing. While it is not known who instigated the peace talks, it's clear that Harry wants back in. As well he might. Because with his wife's influencer career on the rise, and her lifestyle brand flying, poor old Harry has been left floundering on the sidelines. His vanity project, a Netflix show about egalitarian polo, tanked and he's now basically a full-time house husband. Mr Markle, if you will. In May, he gave that astonishing interview to the BBC in which he said he would 'love a reconciliation' with the King before callously speculating on just how long the poor chap has left to live. Charles, for his part, must realise he cannot trust his youngest son as far as he can throw him. Hence sending his man into battle with Harry's US and UK reps, Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire. Thus far, not a word of what was said has leaked. Huge Prince Harry update as he arranges peace summit with King Charles 'within weeks' – but has no plans to meet William Still, there's a second book and a TV show for that. While the King may be open to reconciliation — as Harry himself said, life is both short and precious — the UK may be less so. Honestly? We don't want him back. Inflammatory remarks Tellingly, Prince William 's comms team was nowhere to be seen. From this, then, can we glean that the Prince and Princess of Wales have longer memories? And may be less able to forgive and forget. The damage done from Harry's bloodyminded tome, Spare, cannot be undone. Nor can those inflammatory remarks about racism within the Royal Family, made to Oprah Winfrey in 2021, be unspoken. Charles will not want his legacy to be one of stripping his son of his royal titles. That's something Harry's big brother can do, though. And should do. What a statement of intent that would be. Harry is a man who has his cake and eats it. A chap who preaches about poverty from the confines of his £11million Californian mansion, and one who lectures us on climate change, minutes after stepping off a private jet. At the heart of this, though, is a tragic family feud — something millions of Brits can relate to. So, of course, I hope Harry and Charles find their peace, and — as they say in America — reconnect. But that's all this should be. Professionally, Prince Harry is all out of second chances. Personally, maybe, just maybe, he deserves one more. BUERK RIGHT ON AID FINALLY a bit of common sense. Veteran broadcaster Michael Buerk has hit back at lefties who label the West's efforts to end the Ethiopian famine as 'white saviour complex'. The newsreader, whose harrowing reports prompted Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to organise Live Aid in 1985, rightly points out that any help is better than no help. He said: 'If you're one of the women picking through donkey dung trying to find undigested seeds or one of the children whose eyes were rotting through vitamin deficiency... have you seen somebody dying from starvation? The body eats itself from inside. 'If you're one of those people… you're not really that concerned about whether your saviour is white or black, and I think The Guardian thinks we're being paternalistic. It's rather obscene that people should go around talking about white saviours. 'Any saviour in that context is very welcome indeed.' Quite. His pals' staunch defence – that he is so neurodiverse he cannot wear underpants – really was from the 'I don't sweat' playbook. AI MAY BE WAY TO GO 8 I RETURNED to my junior school last week to give a speech and hand out the cups at prize giving. Obviously it was terrifying. Anyway, I whanged on a bit about journalism, what a great and noble career it is, and how, you too, kids, could one day meet Harry Styles if you play your cards right. I then got home and read reports of those going into AI expecting to earn a starter salary of £2million. So, kids, I take it all back. Don't bother with journalism. LIZ SEXY AT 60. . . AND I WANT HER SECRET 8 8 THIS is 60. Love her or loathe her, Elizabeth Hurley is almost single-handedly redefining middle age. The star, who posed naked on her birthday, looks effortlessly incredible. Whatever she's having, bar Billy Ray Cyrus, I want it. MY VET PEEVE IN a seemingly never-ending cost-of-living crisis, more and more pets are being dumped in shelters as heartbroken owners can no longer afford to look after them. So why, then, are vets making it even harder? My friend took her dog to her local vet last week, and the itemised bill afterwards charged for both an 'X-ray' and 'X-ray fees'. Which, presumably, meant turning the machine on. More needs to be done to regulate this industry, one which takes advantage of our unwavering love of our animals – and blind faith in the people paid to take care of them. LOONY LINEN LINEN shorts co-ords are the look of summer, apparently. Actresses Rebecca Ferguson and Ambika Mod both turned up at Wimbledon in theirs. The former, however, teamed hers with white socks and silver stilettos.
