Princess Kate  was beaming when she arrived at Wimbledon on Saturday, ahead of the womens singles final. 

Her stunning pastel green Self Portrait gown was the perfect choice for day 13 of the annual tournament. Kate accessorised the summer number with her exclusive Wimbledon bow. She wore her long brunette tresses in perfect girls and swept backward at the front.

As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate is a big fan of the sport and will no doubt be looking forward to watching Czech player Marketa Vondrousova take on Tunisian Ons Jabeur at 2pm from the comfort of the Royal Box on Centre Court.

Unsurprisingly, Kate took her seat in the royal box to watch the final, sitting with tennis legend Billie Jean King. She arrived an hour before the match started, where she met with young ball boys and girls including Tiffany, 14, and Abhi, 17.

The royal also met represenatives from the British Army, London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade and Metropolitan Police. While chatting to them, she recalled her own Wimbledon experiences from childhood. "I loved it when I was younger. It was part of coming to see Wimbledon and the anticipation," she said.

Kate watched as history was made at the tournament as Marketa Vondrousova became the first unseeded player to snatch the title after triumphing over Ons Jabeur in the women's singles final. Kate showed off her caring side as she consoled Ons after the Tunisian-born player burst into tears, with Kate gently rubbing her arm before offering a hug.

Speaking about the moment, Ons said: "Obviously she was very nice. She didn’t know if she wants to give me a hug or not. I told her hugs are always welcome from me. That was a very nice moment and she's always nice to me."

The Princess of Wales also congratulated the winning Marketa, telling the Czech-born player to "enjoy this moment" as she handed the trophy over.

This is the second time the Princess has attended this year's tournament, as she was also present last week on day two of the competition. She opted for a very similar colour palette, slipping into a pastel green and white ensemble comprised of a mint green blazer over the top of a white pleated dress. The Princess' striking jacket featured dazzling white lapels and white-covered buttons. Kate also carried a small white bag perfectly punctuating her Wimbledon-themed look.
