Princess Charlotte made a touching reference to her grandmother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales, at Wimbledon.
The Royal box at Wimbledon welcomed Prince William, Princess Kate and their two eldest children for the men’s singles final yesterday afternoon.
They were among the guests at Centre Court for the final day of the tennis tournament.
Both Prince William and Princess Kate, aged 43, were seated on the front row of the Centre Court box with Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10. They then watched as reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz competed against rival tennis player Jannik Sinner for the title.
The family was spotted at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Princess Charlotte, who is third in line to the British throne, has drawn some attention due to her choice of makeup, with her nails painted pink for the occasion.
Her nail polish was visible at various points as she watched matches on the court, including when Princess Charlotte covered her mouth. The colour was also noticeable when she held a fan amidst the heatwave last weekend, reports the Mirror.
Princess Charlotte’s bright nails could be seen as her breaking from tradition, given previous speculation, though that doesn’t appear to be the case. There’s been speculation over the years that members of the Royal Family are encouraged to wear neutral colours and pale shades

Commentators have previously weighed in on the topic. Richard Fitzwilliams told MailOnline: “[They] are encouraged to use neutral, understated colours for their nails.”
While it has been referred to as a “rule” and a “protocol”, it’s believed that there isn’t actually a ban or a formal rule regarding any particular colour or shade of nail polish. Princess Charlotte’s mother, Princess Kate, has been seen wearing bold colours at times, including pink, which is not thought to be off-limits.
Queen Elizabeth was known to have worn one shade of pink nail polish for more than three decades. The late sovereign reportedly had a preference for Essie’s Ballet Slippers shade, a “pale pink” she first wore in 1989.

Princess Charlotte’s choice of colour could be interpreted as a tribute to her late grandmother, Diana, who was often seen in pink ensembles. Pink was her “favourite” colour, as noted by sources such as British Vogue.
The exhibition Princess Diana: Accredited Access, which had been on display in London last year, suggested similarly in a post shared on social media in 2023. Alongside photos of Princess Diana in pink, it described the colour as “nurturing”.
The post shared by the exhibition on Instagram read: “Princess Diana’s favourite color was … PINK! Pink is a nurturing, playful, and nostalgic color that takes people back to their childhoods and can also represent universal love and friendship.”
