The Princess of Wales made her first appearance at Wimbledon this year, after impressing royal watchers with her tennis skills ahead of the tournament.
Kate, 41, looked elegant on day two of the event, wearing a mint green blazer over the top of a white pleated dress. The royal's striking jacket featured white lapels and white covered buttons, giving us Princess Diana chic vibes. Kate also carried a small white bag as she arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC).

Kate didn't let the drizzle dampen her spirits and was still seen smiling under a large umbrella as she moved from her seat.
The royal was then seen in the royal box alongside former Wimbledon Champion, Roger Federer, and the pair were all smiles. Kate clapped along with the crowd as he was welcomed to the royal box, see the heartwarming moment in the clip below...
Last month, the Princess highlighted the important role of the Ball Boys and Girls of Wimbledon, as she played in a doubles match with the eight-time Wimbledon champion.

Andy Murray is now into the second round after a 6-4, 6-0, 6-1 victory over fellow Brit, Ryan Peniston.

© GettyKate has been a regular at Wimbledon since before her marriage to Prince William in 2011, and has rarely missed the tournament.
In 2013, she missed Andy Murray's first Wimbledon victory as she was heavily pregnant with Prince George at the time.
During an interview with Sue Barker on the BBC documentary Our Wimbledon in 2017, Kate explained: "I was very heavily pregnant with George so I wasn't able to turn up."
Sue replied: "But you had a great excuse!"
Kate added: "I know but even still, I sort of was there… 'maybe I could go' but the doctors were like 'definitely not.' I wrote to [Andy Murray] afterwards saying 'sorry for not being there, but huge congratulations.'"
Luckily, William and Kate both got to witness Andy's second Wimbledon win in 2016 against Canada's Milos Raonic.
The Princess took over as patron of the AELTC from the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2016, and in recent years, has presented trophies to the winners of the Men's and Ladies' finals.
Kate, who has shown off her serve on several occasions during tennis-related public engagements, reportedly used to take lessons at the exclusive Hurlingham Club in Fulham.
