At Wimbledon, the former NHS nurse continued her masterclass in regal dressing, donning a lime green and blue check silk dress from Emilia Wickstead, a fail-safe royal designer whose work is beloved by the likes of the Princess of Wales and Harriet’s new sister-in-law, Zara Tindall. Princess Anne’s new daughter-in-law paired the dress with a yellow leather handbag from Anya Hindmarch and a pair of Manolo Blahnik suede pumps, learning from the best when it comes to designers favoured by the royal family.
But there is no doubt her most memorable moment to date has been her exquisite Emilia Wickstead wedding dress.

The elegant gown was constructed using three different elements, a square-neck column underdress, a delicate lace overjacket and a 10ft-train, which took months of planning and hundreds of hours of work to complete. ‘We aligned on something authentic, traditional and modern,’ the designer said of the gown, in an interview with British Vogue. The finished piece, adorned with wildflower motifs, drew comparisons to the Princess of Wales’ Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen creation in 2011.
