Princess Kate is expected to find the balance between tradition and contemporary sophistication with her jewellery at Wimbledon this year, according to a commentator.
The Princess of Wales has served as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, so she will very likely appear at the Men’s Singles Final next week, just as she did last year.
Kate’s appearance in 2024 marked just her second public appearance since confirming she was undergoing cancer treatment.
She was joined by her sister, Pippa Matthews, and her daughter, Princess Charlotte.

Tobias Kormind, the managing director and co-founder of 77 Diamonds, Europe’s largest online diamond jeweller, spoke exclusively to GB News about what Kate might wear this year.
He said: “Wimbledon holds a special place in the Princess of Wales’s heart, it was one of the first public events she attended after announcing she had begun cancer treatment.
“Over the years, the Princess has paid subtle homage to tradition, with pearls remaining a constant in her courtside wardrobe.
“Her choice of the Collingwood earrings, once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales, who also cherished Wimbledon, always adds a personal touch to her ensemble.”

The earrings quickly became mainstays in Diana’s royal jewellery collection. Princess Kate wore the Lover’s Knot Tiara and the earrings together for the first time in July 2017 for a banquet at Buckingham Palace during the Spanish state visit.
Kormind continued: “More recently, the Princess has begun to modernise her jewellery selections, favouring pieces by British designers that reflect her evolving style.
“In 2024, she paired a purple dress with a gold torque bangle, balancing tradition with contemporary sophistication.”

The Hammered Torque Amethyst and Gold Bangle from Halcyon Days costs £125.
Kate paired this bangle with the Cecilia Lilac Midi Dress from Safiyaa, which retails for £1,295.
Kormind concluded: “This year, we can expect Kate to opt for a similar style and will no doubt carry the same sense of symbolism.”
