Princess Charlotte’s ‘copyKate’ Wimbledon outfit contained some touching details
As she followed her mother’s fashion footsteps on Centre Court, the 10-year-old donned a sweet summer dress that not only closely mirrored a style worn by the Princess of Wales in 2022 but was custom-made by the designer behind Kate’s 2011 wedding dress.
Around her wrist, the young princess wore a charm bracelet with some subtly telling details.
As the 2025 men’s singles final got underway at the All England Club ahead of the men’s Wimbledon final on Sunday, Prince William and Catherine arrived in the royal box accompanied by two of their three children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte.
Charlotte took a leaf out of Kate’s style book in a white frock with delicate frill detailing at the hem and black v-line stitching designed by Sarah Burton.
Burton, who is creative director at Givenchy, has long been designing outfits for the princess having just made the dramatic dark red gown she wore to the State Banquet on July 8. The British designer was famously also behind Kate’s 2011 wedding gown when she was heading Alexander McQueen.
Now, it seems Burton is not only dressing Kate but is creating styles for young Charlotte as she stepped out for the Championship match.

The princess paired the bespoke number with Camilla Elphick flats, stylish Finlay & Co sunglasses, and statement earrings.
But it was her silver Pandora bracelet which contained some sweet details. She also accessorised with a silver Pandora bracelet adorned with an array of charms.
The bracelet featured an eternity charm with a ‘royal green’ gem, which is Charlotte’s May birthstone.
There was also a 14k rose gold-plated charm of Nala from The Lion King with green eyes as well as a heart dangle charm with an engravable disk. A message appeared to be engraved on the pendant but even the most eagle-eyed royal fashion fan could not make out what it said.
According to the Pandora website, wearers can inscribe “a heartfelt message for someone special” or a “personal stamp” as a “token of self-love”.
Young Charlotte, often dubbed her mother’s ‘mini’, stepped out in an ensemble that appeared to pay homage to a similar look worn by Kate three years ago.
Back in 2022, the Princess of Wales turned heads at the Guards Polo Club in Egham, where she was supporting Prince William at a charity match.

For the occasion, Kate wore a sleek ankle-length white dress with sharp black detailing by one of her go-to British designers, Emilia Wickstead.
She accessorised the outfit with Camilla Elphick flats, stylish Finlay & Co sunglasses and statement earrings.
Charlotte’s Wimbledon outfit echoed the same elegant combination of white and black, albeit in a more youthful, age-appropriate style.
The subtle nod to her mother’s past outfit did not go unnoticed by fans, who praised the sweet sartorial tribute.
At the polo event in 2022, Kate was seen smiling and laughing with friends, and even the family dog Orla, as she cheered on William from the sidelines.
Today, the Wales family once again presented a united front at a high-profile sporting event, with Charlotte following in her mother’s stylish footsteps.
The Princess of Wales beamed as she arrived at the All England Club for the men’s Wimbledon final this afternoon – and she was accompanied by her tennis-mad children.

Kate took over the role of patron in 2016 from the late Queen who had held the position for 64 years.
The accessory is worn by members of the Committee of Management during the Fortnight – the Main Board of the AELTC and representatives of the LTA. It signifies their responsibilities as the Committee governing the tournament.
The Patron has always traditionally been given a Committee bow in recognition of her role, which is why the Duchess has chosen to wear it when visiting The Championships.
Other individuals also given an honorary Committee bow are the Chief Executive.
