Wimbledon 2025: The Royal Box Celebrity Crush For The Finals
That Big Silver Plate, From The Next Queen: Catherine, Princess of Wales, Patron of The AELTC presents Iga Swiatek of Poland with the Ladies' Singles Trophy following the Ladies' Singles Final against against Amanda Anisimova of United States on day thirteen of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 12, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Getty Images The heavy royal hitters arrive in the Royal Box towards the end of the 14-day All England Lawn Tennis And Croquet Association run, as yesterday, when Catherine, the Princess of Wales, took prime place at the wood rail on the court, flanked as ever by the Chair of the All England Club, Deborah Jevens, pictured below in her radically cool purple-black-and-white print summer dress accompanying the Princess of Wales to their seats. For her part, the Duchess of Cambridge is in an belted Nehru-collared military-style top, paired with the only slightly lighter-toned chiffon for the skirt. Key here to the military tone is the broad 'Sam Browne' belt and the mid-biceps length of sleeve. Perfect patron summer jacket.

(Photo by) Getty Images A courtly note: All are standing, as they should while the Wimbledon patron takes her seat, but key to this scene is the fine slight bow of the gentleman in the cream double-breasted, far right. The eye contact is between the princess and him. Although it's not known (except to the principals) whether he is actually a courtier — he can well be an equerry, a prior acquaintance or royal security — but whomever he is, courtly posture is being adhered to, which is to say, when there is eye contact, a slight bow in acknowledgement of the Crown is due. Noting the placement of his arms, which would have put his hands more or less in on the 'braiding,' or stripes, of his trousers, he can well have had military training. This leans toward him being of the court.

Frankly, if you ask us, it's wearing a little thin — what about a few refreshing yards of well-cut summer-crispy good ol' seersucker suitings, as in July in Mobile or New Orleans? That allowed in the Royal Box? Apparently not! While we do freely admit that the whole Wimbledon metaphor of strawberries-and-cream is, the social buttress for all these dairy colorways, but, man! Any way you cut it, it ain't spring right now. Put another way, yes, the North Sea does make strawberry season more than a bit late in the Hebrides, but that's the Hebrides! The Vikings settled up there. They may never get any strawberries. Either way, this year's prodigious June heat waves in England's south, very much including the swelter around London, have just about played out whatever strawberries they may have had this year. Below, the seminal polymath musician and amazingly-still-married Nirvana and Foo Fighters Hall-of-Fame rocker Dave Grohl and his wife Jordan, in fine cream, make their way to their seats on July 2.

Though extremely clean shaven and slightly shorn of his impressive 'Jesus Christ Superstar' locks as he won Wimbledon's coveted men's singles title five consecutive times from 1976-80, Bjorn Borg brings every ounce of his patented ferocious gravitas to the Royal Box in his fine blue suit. Behind the couple, upper left, singer/songwriter Ellie Goulding brings a bit of fresh air to the Royal Box in a refreshing — non-cream-colored — grey and white striped summer sleveless. Kudos, Ms. Goulding.

That notwithstanding, British/American actress Sienna Miller is trying her level best but can't quite cut clear. Still, it's a pattern on a cream background, so we can give the early-Aughts It-Girl and Vogue cover model points for getting at least a pattern on that milky summer dress. The shoulders are working for the actress, and we do respect the whole gritty turn her acting career has taken. Current boyfriend Oli Green is up to snuff in a regulation dark City-of-London/Wall-Street let's-argue-about-the-tariffs suit, but the suit has got a hellish job of work boosting Green even so much as a few months older than his 28 years. In fact, the suit is losing the desperate battle — Green looks every minute of 25. That noted, at 43, Miller's not exactly robbing the cradle — they're only sort of a May-September thing, or okay, May-August if that makes everybody feel better. What's a decade and a few years in the Royal Box? Nothing, I tell you. Nothing.

Power couple would be an understatement to describe this unit. As ever, Ford is impeccable, and the 1920s under-the-tie collar-stay does its somewhat insouciant work unevenly. The flower print on Wintour is, again refreshingly, on a white ground. Untouchable would be the message being broadcast here. Mess with either of these tennis fans at your peril. LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 11: Fashion designer, Tom Ford and Fomer Editor in Chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour look on in the Royal Box prior to the Gentlemen's Singles semi-final match between Taylor Fritz of United States and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain on day twelve of The Championships Wimbledon 2025 at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 11, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Getty Images Below, HRH Prince Michael of Kent may have won the Royal Box competition for the absolutely perfect old-man-bespoke suit offsetting a really rich blue shirt. Question of the hour is: Is it a classic chalk stripe? Technically, yes, but it's a right skinny one, and the key to the mystery is that the stripes are set wide in the weave, as if they were much chalkier and thicker. But, they're not! This lends the suit a kind of lightness that only a royal clothes horse such as Prince Michael could pull off. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - JULY 03: HRH Prince Michael Of Kent arrives to watch tennis from the Royal Box during the forth day of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships at The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon on July 1, 2024, in London, United Kingdom. (Photo by Ray Tang/Anadolu via Getty Images) Anadolu via Getty Images He comes by the ability honestly. First cousin to Queen Elisabeth II through his father, King George's brother, Prince Michael is, through his Greek ancestry a cousin of Tsar Nicholas II and is fluent in Russian. While it's not a language in wide circulation in the Royal Box, on the palate of HRH Prince Michael, it harks back to a pre-revolutionary Russia.

Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte Opt for Aquamarine for Trooping the Colour 2025
Trooping the Colour is the annual official celebration of the reigning monarch's birthday; it's a joyful occasion, featuring the Royal families in a mode of celebration—and if you're Prince Louis, with a bit of cheekiness and carry on—with outfits to match, to see and be seen. Kate Middleton has long made it the time to debut her most striking, spirited looks. Crowds gathered in their thousands to watch the parades in central London that continued down the Mall toward Buckingham Palace, seeing members of the Royal family arrive in their house-drawn carriages. Catherine, Princess of Wales, husband Princess William, and their children George, Charlotte, and Louis were among them. The Princess wore a bright aquamarine woollen dress coat with ivory lapels and cuffs by Catherine Walker—a designer favored by Kate Middleton as much as Princess Diana—as well as wide-brimmed matching hat with a sculptural motif by Juliette Botterill. Jewelry is always a key and sentimental part of the Royal's looks, and today was no different: She opted for an Irish Guards Regimental Brooch—a nod to her role as colonel—and earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth. Princess Charlotte followed suited in a dress that was a similar shade to her mother's, with a white waist bow and white flats, her long hair tied in a braid.

LONDON, ENGLAND – MAY 13: Catherine, Princess of Wales tours design spaces with designer Patrick McDowell during a visit to the British Fashion Council to present the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, at the British Fashion Council at 180 Studios on May 13, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Aaron Chown –) Princess Catherine is making headlines once again for her timeless yet contemporary style — this time, thanks to an olive green pantsuit by none other than Victoria Beckham. The Princess of Wales presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design to sustainability-focused designer Patrick McDowell during a ceremony hosted by the British Fashion Council. Held at 180 Studios in London, the event celebrated the best in emerging British talent, with Kate serving as the elegant yet powerful embodiment of the industry's evolution. Her look? A commanding yet feminine ensemble by Victoria Beckham, featuring the Patch Pocket Jacket and Alina Trousers in the muted, earthy 'Willow' tone — a choice that subtly nodded to nature and renewal while reinforcing her commitment to British design.

(Photo by Aaron Chown –) It was a moment packed with meaning. Kate, who has championed sustainable fashion throughout her royal career, presented the honor to McDowell, a designer known for his circular luxury approach. But her outfit spoke volumes, too: a British-made suit by a female designer, worn while supporting the next generation of innovators. And while the significance was clear, so was the style. The sharply tailored silhouette featured utilitarian pocketing, crisp pleats, and Beckham's signature minimalism. Paired with a ruffled ivory blouse and understated gold accessories, the look struck a perfect balance between formal and fashion-forward.

While she's previously worn Beckham's designs on royal tours, choosing the British designer's suit for this high-profile occasion was a powerful endorsement, especially amid ongoing media chatter around the Beckham family's public dynamics.

From the label she wore to the designer she honored, the Princess of Wales led by example. And with that, she reminded us that true style isn't just about what you wear. It's about the message it sends.
