Meghan MarkleandKate Middletonare having a royal moms’ day out!
The sisters-in-law attended at the Ladies’ Singles Final at Wimbledon on Saturday, recreating theirfirst-ever joint outing(without their husbands!) from one year earlier.
Arriving ahead of Meghan, Kate was the first to arrive at the sporting event, wearing a green Dolce & Gabbana dress, which she had previously worn during a royal tour in Canada with husbandPrince Williamin 2016.
Ahead of the match, the royal was also seen meeting with junior players from Russia, Latvia and France. As a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Kate had to arrive early in order to carry out her official duties.
Another reason why the pair arrived separately is because they were arriving from separate homes! Although last year both royals were living in Kensington Palace, Meghan and her husbandPrince Harryhave recently moved toFrogmore Cottage, which is located about 25 miles from their former home.
Joining Kate, Meghan was all smiles as she arrived wearing a white button down shirt which she paired with a pleated white skirt with a blue design from Hugo Boss.

Kensington Palace went on to postseveral photosfrom the royal outing on Instagram.
“The Duchess of Cambridge, @Wimbledon Patron, and The Duchess of Sussex attended the #Wimbledon 🎾 Ladies’ Singles Final today,” the post read. “Well done toSerena Williamsand Simona Halep on a fantastic match, and congratulations Simona on your first Wimbledon title!”
Last year, Meghan and Kate made a highly anticipated appearance in Centre Court’s royal box for the same finals match, when Williams fell short to Angelique Kerber. The royals coordinated their outfits for the event — the Duchess of Sussex choosing a summeryblue-and-white striped shirtfrom Ralph Lauren withwide-leg cream pants, while Princess Kate opted for a white-patterned dress.

Saturday’s outing will mark return trips to Wimbledon this summer for Kate and Meghan, both 37.
Katesurprised royal fans with an appearance at the tennis tournamenton July 2 — but rather than take her normal seat in the royal box, she headed over to Court 14 to watch British player Harriet Dart play American Christina McHale.
The royal mom of three — who sported a white shirt dress with buttons down the front accessorized with an Alexander McQueen belt, chic sunglasses and her signature blowout — later headed to Centre Court where she then took her seat in the front row of the royal box to see Tatjana Maria play Angelique Kerber.
