Kate Middleton just wore taupe stripes for summer so I'm ready to abandon blue and white

Catherine, Princess of Wales, wearing a taupe striped shirt and blazer, smiles during a visit to see the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital in Essex, southeast England on July 2, 2025.

Whilst I have no doubt that the Princess of Wales will make a much-anticipated appearance at Wimbledon this year, for any fans hoping to see her on Day 3 it wasn’t to be. Instead of giving everyone inspiration for what to wear to Wimbledon and excitedly cheering on the players from the Royal Box, Kate undertook a much more poignant visit.

The future Queen viewed the RHS Wellbeing Garden at Colchester Hospital on 2nd July and helped to plant a Catherine’s Rose. This beautiful bloom was launched in May and was named in her honour, with 50 being donated to support staff and patients at the hospital.
