Like mother, like daughter: Princess Charlotte mirrors Kate Middleton's look at Wimbledon 2025 finale
(Image Credits: Getty Images) The Prince and Princess of Wales' little daughter, Princess Charlotte, has already made her mark as a mini fashion icon. Whether she's wearing sweet florals or a cosy, comforting sweater, the princess has defined a sense of preppy-meets-girly style, which is being sincerely adored by the fashion community across the globe. Princess Charlotte recently made her third Wimbledon appearance this weekend, joining her parents and brother. What stood out was her choice of outfit, a white frilled dress with sleek black piping. The subtle look bore an uncanny resemblance to her mother's outfit from 2022. (Image Credits: Getty Images) However, this was not just another case of outfit twinning, as Charlotte's styling simply had a nod to Kate's past wardrobe and mirrored her mother's personality, blending it so ardently with her own. From the small silver charm bracelet to a pair of shoes, nearly every detail of the little princess's outfit carried a deeper meaning and reference. Charlotte Steals Wimbledon With Priceless Reactions; Kate's Mini-Me Melts Hearts Customised dress with royal history The white summer dress worn by Princess Charlotte was customised by Sarah Burton, the designer responsible for Kate Middleton's 2011 wedding gown. It featured a soft frill detailing around the hemline and had precise black V-line stitching. However, the design elements closely resembled a white Emilia Wickstead dress worn by the Princess of Wales at the Guards Polo Club in 2022. For footwear and accessories, Princess Charlotte wore a pair of Camilla Elphick flats and Finlat & Co sunglasses, which is another uncanny overlap with Kate Middleton's past Wimbledon appearances. Therefore, one can say that the designers and stylists involved with both royals are hinting at a growing style mentorship between the mother and daughter. (Image Credits: Getty Images) What's the story behind the charm bracelet? Princess Charlotte wore a silver Pandora bracelet featuring a charm with a green stone, which is her May birthstone. Whereas the other one is a miniature Nala from 'The Lion King', referencing her love for the character. But there's also a third charm, which features a silver heart paired with an engraved disc, which contains a message from 'someone special', mostly indicating that it's given by her own mother. As we said, like mother, like daughter, it's heartwarming and adorable to witness these fashion links, with an indication that Princess Charlotte is not so little anymore and is being inspired by the Princess of Wales, as she's indeed the epitome of royal grace and sophistication in the household.

10-year-old Princess Charlotte mirrors style worn by Kate Middleton in 2022, bracelet with 'royal green' gem has a story
Princess Charlotte made her third Wimbledon appearance this weekend, alongside Prince William and Princess Kate. Her outfit especially stood out: a white frilled dress with black piping, which subtly matched a look worn by her mother in 2022. But this was not just a case of twinning; the outfit was a carefully styled nod to Kate's past wardrobe, her designer relationships, and even Charlotte's own personality. From the bespoke dress to her silver charm bracelet, nearly every detail of Charlotte's ensemble carried a deeper reference or sentimental value. Custom dress with Royal history Charlotte's white summer dress was custom-made by Sarah Burton, the designer responsible for Kate's 2011 wedding gown. It featured soft frill detailing at the hem and precise black V-line stitching. These are design elements closely resembling a certain white Emilia Wickstead dress Kate wore at the Guards Polo Club in 2022. Burton, now at Givenchy, also dressed Kate in a dark red gown at a State Banquet earlier this month. Her recent involvement with both royals hints at a growing fashion mentorship between Kate and her daughter. For footwear and accessories, Charlotte wore Camilla Elphick flats and Finlay & Co sunglasses, another overlap with Kate's past Wimbledon appearances. Charm bracelet with personal touches Charlotte's silver Pandora bracelet added more clues. One charm was set with a green stone—her May birthstone—while another was a miniature Nala from The Lion King, possibly referencing her known love for animated films. The third charm was a silver heart paired with an engraved disk. Though the inscription wasn't readable, it appeared to be custom-made. The disk likely contains a message from or about someone close to her, given that Pandora's official listings state that the charm is meant for a 'personal stamp' or 'message for someone special.'

‘I'm grateful': Princess of Wales makes popular appearance at Wimbledon
In a touching exchange earlier in the day before the wheelchair final, the Princess asked eight-year-old Lydia Lowe – who had to learn how to walk again after overcoming a brain injury – what it meant to her to conduct the pre-match coin toss. Princess Kate then asked if Lydia had any advice for her ahead of her own appearance, and the child replied: 'Don't be nervous [and] take deep breaths.' The Princess said: 'Take deep breaths; OK, I'll remember that. Thank you.' She sat next to the club's chair, Debbie Jevans, and women's tennis trailblazer and former world No.1 Billie Jean King in the royal box, and they were seen in conversation throughout the 57-minute final. Loading Princess Kate also met Wang Ziying, the women's wheelchair tennis champion, as well as Work at Wimbledon representatives Shaniah Williams and Jefferson Iweh, and the club's longest-serving steward, Bob Flint, who has worked at the championships since 1980. Her Wimbledon appearance comes at the end of a hectic week of royal engagements, including her and Prince William welcoming French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, to the UK for their three-day state visit. The Prince and Princess of Wales were also involved in the carriage procession, military inspection and private lunch at Windsor Castle later. However, she skipped the Out-Sourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup 2025 at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, where Prince William participated. The event fundraises for charities and causes that the prince and princess are passionate about and support. That decision is viewed as Princess Kate adjusting to her new circumstances since she revealed her cancer diagnosis in March last year, even after she announced at the start of 2025 that she was in remission. The Princess' attendance at last year's men's final, where Alcaraz beat seven-time champion Novak Djokovic, was just her second public engagement since she announced her cancer diagnosis. She came with Princess Charlotte and was visibly emotional after receiving a standing ovation. Queen Camilla was in the royal box on Wednesday to watch the men's and women's quarter-finals, and also shook hands and spoke with Djokovic beforehand. The Queen visited Wimbledon to watch the tennis for several years in a row, while Princess Beatrice, her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Sarah 'Fergie' Ferguson, Duchess of York, were in the royal box for the opening day of this year's championships.

William's charity fundraising polo matches raise more than £14m
William joined some of England's best professional players and keen amateurs at the Guards Polo Club near Windsor in aid of good causes supported by himself and Kate. The prince's cousin Peter Phillips and his girlfriend Harriet Sperling were among the guests who watched three teams compete in the round-robin Royal Charity Polo Cup after a champagne reception followed by a charity silent auction and lunch. The future king has played 14 times in the cup and match commentator and former polo player Karl Ude-Martinez joked about his prowess with the mallet, saying: 'He doesn't play regularly, he's going have to stretch after this one'. William played as a number four, a defensive role, but managed to score a goal 'it trickled in, it wasn't pretty but we'll claim that one', said Martinez and it helped the prince's team clinch the cup. The event raised £1.1 million for 10 charities supported by William and Kate from Child Bereavement UK to East Anglia's Children's Hospices, NHS Charities Together and the social justice charity Forward Trust, with the matches raising more than £14 million over the years. Former England and Arsenal football captain Tony Adams is chairman of trustees at the Forward Trust, supported by Kate, its royal patron, which helps people recover from addictions and mental health problems. He said: 'Most charities are coming up against huge problems with fundraising…there's other charities out there, children's charities and cancer charities but addiction is way down the line. 'I mean, if you've got mental health and addiction issues, it's incredibly difficult to get the funding, this is why we need these events. 'The princess has been very supportive and taken away the stigma of this illness and putting it out there, it's not a weakness, it's a strength to come forward.'
