The Princess was in a creamy white style today at Wimbledon for the Ladies’ Singles Final match between the USA’s Amanda Anisimova and Iga Świątek of Poland. 
The Princess has been Wimbledon’s patron since 2016. Above and below, you see her with Deborah Jevans, chair of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Below, a wide shot as they cross the Players Bridge to Centre Court.

Before the match, the Princess met with volunteers and staff. 
Above, you see her with 8-year-old Lydia Lowe, selected to do the coin toss for the Ladies’ Wheelchair Singles Final—more from this Telegraph piece.
The Princess, 43, was also urged to “take deep breaths” by eight-year-old Lydia Lowe ahead of her appearance at the women’s singles final. During a touching exchange, the Princess asked the child, who overcame a brain injury last January and had to learn how to walk again, what it meant to her to perform the coin toss.
She asked if the girl had a favourite tennis player and whether she was feeling nervous.
When the Princess asked if she had any advice for her ahead of her own appearance, the child replied: “Don’t be nervous [and] take deep breaths.”
The Princess responded: “Take deep breaths, okay, I’ll remember that. Thank you.”
The Princess and Ms. Jevans then headed to the royal box. 
As the Princess took her seat, there was a standing ovation from the crowd.

A wave from the Princess. 
The Princess and Billie Jean King, as the tennis legend acknowledged the crowd.
Then it was time for the match. Below, Iga Świątek and Amanda Anisimova as they waited to take to the court.

The temperature was 90° F as the match got underway, according to Weather.com.

It was a short match, just 57 minutes. More from this NY Times story.
Poland’s No. 8 seed prevailed over the No. 13 seed from the United States in a one-sided clinic of a match, ultimately decided by Anisimova’s nerves, Świątek’s clear-headed tactics and the relentlessness that makes her one of the best players in the world.
There’s no other explanation. A Grand Slam final. A Wimbledon final. The Princess of Wales. As Carlos Alcaraz said after his first match here this year, “Wimbledon is different.”
The Princess greeted ball boys and girls as she arrived on the court to award the trophies. 
She also greeted umpires and line judges.

And awarding Ms. Świątek with the champion’s Venus Rosewater Dish, a silver salver measuring 18.75 inches in diameter.
The Princess applauded both women. 
More from the Wimbledon site.
Receiving the Venus Rosewater Dish from the Princess of Wales, the Patron of the All England Club, made a remarkable afternoon even more memorable for Swiatek.
“On the court, she congratulated me and said some nice stuff about my performance. I didn’t want to make a faux pas. Since I was a kid, I’ve been a big fan of the royals,” she said.
And now we turn to our look at what Kate wore for today’s match, a style I believe is another midi dress by Self Portrait. (I also think it’s another dress that can initially look like separates.) The single-breasted jacket portion of the dress has a military or utility feel to it, with a mandarin collar, short sleeves, pocket flaps (I don’t know if they’re functional pockets) at the hip and bodice, a self-belt, and self-covered buttons.
It very much looks like a bespoke Self Portrait piece. You can see the similarities between today’s look and the Lime Boucle Collared Chiffon Midi Dress worn for the Ladies’ final in 2023. 
The Princess carried a new bag today by Anya Hindmarch in chalk-colored leather. The Neeson Small Square Tote ($1490) showcases woven leather, adjustable handle length, and the signature Anya Hindmarch bow woven into the leather. It is available in a larger size ($2050) at Marissa Collections. 
Thank you to Ellie, Kate Middleton Style Blog, and Middleton Maven for this ID.
The Princess brought back her Gianvito Rossi’s Ribbon Sling Pumps (now sold out) in the 85mm heel height. (I show them below left in another color and fabric.)
The Princess wore a new pair of Ralph Lauren sunglasses. With thanks to Carly at Kate Middleton Style for the ID, they appear to be the Ralph by Ralph Lauren Cateye style ($79.50) in Black Havana. 
The sunglasses are also available at Designer Optics ($78), Glasses.com ($79.50), Sunglass Hut ($106), and Lenscrafters ($53 for the frame only, I believe.)
We saw what could be a new Halcyon Days bangle. In some light, it looks like the Maya Torque Bangle ($215, sold out) in the Diamond colorway. The bracelet is 18ct gold-plated twisted brass with glass cabochon stones. In other lighting, the stones almost look light blue, so I’m not 100% convinced it is this piece. 
The Princess also had on her Cartier Trinity Earrings ($3350) and her Wimbledon pin in the Club’s purple and green colors. 
This Today piece offers more on the pin’s significance.
A representative for the AELTC told TODAY Style the duchess’s bow is reserved for the club’s patron, president, committee of management, vice presidents and four members of their executive staff.
I’ll leave you with a video posted by Kensington Palace after the match.
A wonderful day at The @Wimbledon Championships! Congratulations @iga_swiatek on a brilliant victory! 👏🎾 pic.twitter.com/jDr1b7uJCj

I am expecting we’ll see the Princess again tomorrow for the Men’s Final match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
