Kate Middleton Looks Radiant in a Belted White Dress During Surprise Wimbledon Appearance
The Wimbledon tournament is on its second day of competition, and already, Kate Middleton has made her first appearance at the tennis match. The Duchess of Cambridge made a surprise outing to watch day 2's games. Kate is a patron of Wimbledon and attends the tournament each year-although last year, she attended for ladies' and gentlemen's championships, much later in the tournament.
It's early in the competition, which goes until July 14. But for the matches Kate watched today, the Duchess opted for a polished white dress with black buttons and an Alexander McQueen black bow belt. She wore a second bow pin on the dress to give it an extra feminine touch:
Kate was out yesterday at the Royal Horticultural Society's Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. She visited school children in her Back to Nature garden, where they had a picnic. There, the Duchess wore an excellent green print summer dress by Sandro.
Kensington Palace explained on its Instagram yesterday that Kate's garden she designed was moved from the Chelsea Flower Show, where it first debuted. They wrote:
The Duchess of Cambridge’s RHS Back to Nature Garden has transferred to @The_RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival-the design has the same wild and natural feel but has been developed in order to create further opportunities for children and families to interact with nature. The design for this garden has once again been created through a collaboration between Her Royal Highness, landscape architects @davies_white and the RHS.
As part of her longstanding work on Early Years, The Duchess believes that spending time outdoors plays a pivotal role in children’s future health and happiness. Her garden highlights how time spent in natural environments can help build the foundations for positive physical and mental wellbeing that last through childhood and over a lifetime.
Features like the hollow log and rustic dens ?? have returned from Chelsea, in addition to a new hidden cave, treehouse ??, camo netting, rolling hill ? and stream ??. These environments enable children to develop skills for life through free play, building their confidence, strength, resilience and social skills.
