Princess Kate is a regular fixture in the royal box at Wimbledon but yesterday opted to sit in the outer courts—in the rain, no less. The Daily Express reports that the Princess of Wales appeared “happy to rough it in the rain” and is “keen to show herself as a regular person” through this “humble” gesture.
Though she “lapped up the atmosphere” and was trying to blend in with the crowd, her bold outfit choice at the tennis tournament made that pretty much impossible: “Kate’s outfit was a slight change from her usual outfit choices,” said body language expert Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair Bingo. “I think she’s paying some sort of homage to the fact she’s at Wimbledon, as she wore white and green. The pistachio jacket is a slight switch for her. We often see Kate in bolder colors when she wants to make a statement. However, it’s clear she wants to blend in with the crowd at the event, as she took on a more unstated look. Otherwise, she would have worn her usual colors of red or blue, which could have been too striking for the occasion.”
