Copy Princess Kate's most iconic Wimbledon look with this polka-dot shirt dress
If there's one pattern the Princess of Wales opts for time and time again, it's the classic polka dot. She's often seen donning it for various occasions, from the birth of her children to Wimbledon. Kate has a fondness for a polka-dot frock. Particularly, she's sported a range of variations on the blue-with-white polka dots when it comes to dresses.
While most of us don't have a Royal bank balance to splurge on Kate's exact outfits, there is still a way to steal her style without breaking the bank. Over at L.K. Bennett, there's a navy polka-dot midi dress that is perfect for emulating Kate Middleton's iconic Wimbledon in 2022, making it an ideal choice right now as the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament gets underway.
Available at L.K. Bennett or from Marks & Spencer, this Valerie Spring Navy & Birch Viscose Printed Viscose Shirt Dress With Belt is the ideal piece for copying Kate's fabulous Wimbledon ensemble. It comes in a wide range of sizes from 6 to 20, with regular and petite measurements available for those who aren't graced with Kate's height. This dress is also available in several shades, in case you fancy veering away from Kate's traditional navy look.
Boasting the same strong shoulders as Kate's noteworthy dress, this Valerie Shirt dress offers a formal, structured look that makes it an easy choice for days in the office or more highbrow events, whether you're heading to the court side or meeting a client for lunch.
An LKB signature shirt dress ideal for spring and summer, this number seamlessly walks the line between smart and casual, ensuring it's a wardrobe staple for any season. Crafted from a lightweight, floaty fabric that's sure to keep you feeling the breeze during warmer weather, and coming in navy blue with a cream polka dot print, this piece has a long, rounded collar that adds a dash of timeless chic to any look.
With Kate's go-to puff shoulders and short sleeves, this dress is a versatile pick in the sunnier seasons. It varies from Kate's as it sports cream buttons, a buckled belt, and a back yoke, but matches her iconic look in its midi-length skirt. Wear it with your favourite heels or Kate's beloved tennis shoes for a royal ensemble that can seamlessly work for any and all occasions this summer.
One shopper who picked up this piece from M&S raves: "Lovely material. Looks as though it will not crease which is important to me! Very flattering style. Pricey but worth it!"
This exact dress is up for grabs for £299 from L.K. Bennett or Marks & Spencer and is currently in stock in all sizes. For those keeping to a tighter budget, Finery London has this Saskia Navy Polka Dot Midi Tea Dres s that is a great wallet-friendly option that nods to Kate's iconic look, for £49.

Molly-Mae Hague 'can't understand what she's done wrong' amid 'fall from grace'
EXCLUSIVE: Molly Mae has had a tough few weeks after being trolled for being 'out of touch' and now a PR expert has claimed that the Love Island star could be losing her 'golden girl' status Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears last week after being slammed, yet again, for being 'out of touch' by fans. Now, a pr expert tells OK! that they believe the golden girl's popularity is on the wane and her star power could 'all be over'. The 26-year-old, one of Love Island 's biggest success stories with an estimated net worth of £6m, had claimed on of her vlogs that she's done 'nothing fun this summer, despite taking several lavish holidays posted on social media. Most recently, she headed off on a family trip in her £86K motorhome, after which she confessed she felt 'overwhelmed' and had a 'breakdown', when her daughter Bambi, 2, who she shares with partner Tommy Fury, was overtired and screaming for hours. While some sympathised with the challenges of travelling with a little one, others were quick to criticise Molly-Mae for complaining, pointing out her affluent lifestyle and frequent luxury vacations, labelling the influencer and entrepreneur 'tone deaf'. Our mole claims that such posts really upset the mum-of-one, and the negativity can bring her down. 'She does get upset that she's constantly in the firing line from the public, but she also doesn't understand why because she doesn't feel like she's done anything wrong. She works hard and is proud of what she's achieved.' The mum-of-one hit headlines recently when she complained in a YouTube video that she hadn't done anything fun over the summer months. 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing,' she said to camera. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' Some fans, however, were quick to point out several of Molly's outings this year; including trips to Dubai, a holiday to Disneyland, a city break to Budapest, their recent motorhome holiday to the Isle Of Man and attendance at high profile events such as Wimbledon, before which she spent thousands of pounds at Christian Dior to wear to the tennis tournament. Hitting back at the trolling she has received in a recent video, Molly claimed that she 'doesn't' care' about the backlash, but said it does make her 'nervous' to talk openly with fans. 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it. 'I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I'm talking about at the minute, it's just a lot.' Never one to shy away from her struggles, Molly has admitted to having a tough time with Bambi in recent months. She said in one YouTube video, 'I'm having one of those toddler mum days, where I question, 'am I actually cut out for this?' 'Every single thing I try and ask her to do, she will not listen to me... She hasn't eaten in like three days because she is refusing to eat. I'm finding it really hard.' Adding that Tommy seems to take parenting more in his stride, Molly admitted that it's 'tough'. Speaking of the recent backlash, PR expert Lynn Carratt believes Molly Mae is definitely at risk losing her 'golden girl' status. She tells new: 'Some of the things that she's saying are coming across as out of touch with reality. "Molly was the sweet, girl next door on love island, and she had a true love story with Tommy which people really bought into and was very likeable. Men fancied her, girls wanted to be her. She came across as an inspiration. Now, she's flying all over the world on private jets and sadly, it's just not relatable anymore." Lynn continues: "In the last year or so, it seems like s he's been falling from grace - her days at the top of the showbiz pile could be over." "She shouldn't have to hide her lifestyle or money because she's earned it, but at the same time, we're in a cost of living crisis. People don't always want to see influencers flying across the world in private jets." 'It is really hard for Molly being a working mum, as it is for all working parents. And it is good that she's being open about her struggles. But she needs to really think about a PR strategy to bring fans back on side." Molly rose to prominence on Love Island in 2019, where she met Tommy Fury, also 26, and came second place with the boxer, whose brother is boxing star Tyson. After the show, she signed a major deal with e-retailer PrettyLittleThing, eventually becoming their creative director while working with brands like Beauty Works and creating her own fake tan business, Filter By Molly Mae. She then parted ways with PrettyLittleThing to build her own fashion brand, Maebe, launched last year. Now, she has a hit Amazon Prime docuseries currently filming for season two and resides in a multi-million pound home in Cheshire with her and Tommy's two-year-old daughter Bambi. The couple, who got engaged in July 2023, announced their shock split last summer, before getting back together earlier this year.

Clare Balding heading to Wrexham as part of book tour
The broadcaster and author will visit The Stiwt Theatre on Wednesday, September 17, and Thursday, September 18, as part of the autumn tour for her debut novel, Pastures New. Copies of the book will be available from The Berwyn Bookshop. Ms Balding said: "It's all Jilly Cooper's fault. "I was interviewing Jilly at a literary when she took me to task for only writing novels for children. "Despite many non-fiction books, I had been wary of writing a novel for adults. "'Don't be ridiculous,' she said. "'You can write. "Get on with it.'" Clare is best known for her broadcasting and journalism career, which has taken her from growing up in the countrysideto commentating on the King's Coronation procession and fronting major sporting events including the Olympics and Wimbledon. Pastures New tells the story of Alex, a woman nearing 40 who unexpectedly inherits a crumbling sheep farm in Wales. With only a Welsh terrier for company, she sets out to solve the mystery behind her inheritance while adjusting to rural life and the quirks of a close-knit community. Clare said: "It has taken a few years and a lot of angst but I have tried to honestly represent the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters, the way love can pop up in the most surprising places, the beauty of our landscape and the kindness of small communities who understand what it means to support each other. "I have met the local sheep farmers, the pub landlords, the struggling racehorse trainer and the local odd job man who can do anything. "These people are real to me, and I hope they come across as such in Pastures New." Clare grew up in the countryside surrounded by horses and dogs, and her childhood reading included everything from Jilly Cooper to Henry James. Her autobiography, My Animals and Other Family, won the National Book Award for Autobiography of the Year. She competed as an amateur flat jockey in her youth, earning the title of Champion Lady Rider in 1990. After studying English Literature at Cambridge, she began a career in journalism.

The pair have been joined by Kate's 22-year-old model daughter Lila. It came after Kate posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Recently Kate's wellness brand Cosmoss went bust with debts topping £2.9million. Later in July she was seen partying among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival. Meanwhile Kate's daughter Lila has been promoting the new Diabetes Type 1 Barbie doll. Like Lila, her doll has a glucose monitor arm patch, an insulin pump on her leg and a bag for emergency snacks. Lila, 22, said: 'Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented by me means everything to me. 'To see a Barbie that looks like me — even wearing the patches, is surreal and special.'
