Princess Beatrice, in a gesture that many interpreted as a step forward in her royal responsibilities, took a prominent place at the Wimbledon tournament and assumed a role similar to the one traditionally played by Kate Middleton in that competition.
Accompanied by her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the princess enthusiastically attended one of the most anticipated matches of the prestigious tennis tournament.
As the niece of the British monarch, King Charles, and her husband, she made an appearance on the exciting ninth day of competition, held in the English capital on July 9th.
In a display of their status, the royal couple enjoyed the match from the exclusivity of the front row in the royal box, located on the center court.
There, they witnessed the showdown between the talented Italian player Jannik Sinner and the outstanding Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev, who were competing for a spot in the semifinals of the championship in the men’s singles category.
Princess Beatrice’s Wimbledon outfit
During the prestigious Wimbledon tournament, Princess Beatrice of York dazzled in an elegant silk lace dress with a floral print, designed by Monique Lhuillier, standing out among her fashion choices for the summer.
She complemented her outfit with the sophisticated Vivier Buckle Crochet Clutch in Raffia, adding a touch of glamour with the exclusive Gold & Diamond Medium Love Bracelet from Sydney Evan, valued at $3,082.
Following the dress code for the royal box, which dictates an “elegant” attire for events, gentlemen are expected to wear suits and ties.
Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, the princess’s husband, opted for a modern brown suit, harmonizing it with a blue shirt and a red tie, showcasing impeccable style for the occasion.
The royal couple shared pleasant moments with notable personalities in the coveted seats at the tournament.
They were seen engaging in conversation with comedian Michael McIntyre, actor Stephen Fry, and Lena Dunham, known for her role in the series ‘Girls,’ exchanging smiles and laughter before turning their attention to the exciting tennis matches.
The attendance of members of the royal family at Wimbledon is a tradition, and Princess Beatrice was not the only one to make her presence felt this year.
Birgitte, the Duchess of Gloucester, also attended on two occasions, and there are rumors that she could be the successor to the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, for the trophy presentation to the winners in the men’s and women’s categories, should Middleton be unable to fulfill the honor.
