The Wimbledon championships are here once again, and Princess Kate made an early appearance at the event on July 2 while getting down to work in a surprising role. The Princess of Wales, who serves as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), surprised attendees as she scanned tickets on day four of the championships.
In recent years, Kate has shown that she can’t get enough of a trouser suit, and although she always wears a dress or skirt to Wimbledon, she debuted a summery blue linen suit by Gabriela Hearst on Thursday. Dressed in the brand’s Stephanie blazer and coordinating wide-legged trousers, the princess snapped selfies with shocked guests in the queue and pitched in at the ticket office.
