Carole Middleton blooms in floral dress from royal-loved brand at Wimbledon 2024

Kate isn’t the only Middleton smashing the style game.

Although the Princess of Wales hasn’t attended the Wimbledon tennis championships this year, her mom, Carole Middleton, has been holding down the fort in fashionable floral frocks — and on Wednesday, she wore one of her daughter’s favorite brands for this second time.

The 69-year-old mother of three looked summery in a pale pink Me+Em dress as she made her second appearance of the month at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club with husband Michael Middleton, 75.

The past-season maxi style featured long sleeves and a green floral print, and Carole paired it with a smart gray checked blazer and pointy brown heels.

The Party Pieces founder carried a stylish straw tote with a smaller blush-colored purse inside and accessorized with diamond hoop earrings and a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Last week, the princess’ mom also turned to Me+Em, wearing an ivory blazer ($495) from the brand over a floral Cefinn maxi dress to take in another Wimbledon match.

Carole wasn’t the only one serving up a Me+Em look at Wimbledon Wednesday; Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, wore a white-and-green berry-print maxi ($495) from the label with a white blazer.

Ironically, another royal wore the same dress this week, with Queen Mary of Denmark rocking the short-sleeved dress with a straw hat for an outing on Tuesday.

Zara’s brother Peter Phillips’ new girlfriend also got in on the Me+Em action at Wimbledon, wearing a $650 ivory-and-green floral dress with ruffled trim as she held hands with her royal beau.

Princess Beatrice also loves the British brand’s sustainable styles, including a white floral dress she wore on a romantic trip to St. Tropez last summer.

The Princess of Wales has been a devotee of Me+Em for some time, wearing a number of pieces over the years including a pink shirtdress that mom Carole went on to sport at Royal Ascot in 2022.

As for Wimbledon, our fingers our crossed for an appearance from Kate this weekend — and perhaps she’ll follow suit with this season’s trendiest tennis-watching brand.
