The Middletons are here! Princess of Wales’s parents Carole and Michael coordinate their Wimbledon looks in sweet matching moment at SW19
Carole and Michael Middleton enjoyed a sunny date at Wimbledon today, with the Princess of Wales‘s parents donning matching looks for an afternoon of tennis in SW19.
While Michael, 77, looked dapper in a cream blazer, Carole put on a stylish display in an off-white, floral-patterned dress.
The couple, who have been married for 46 years, coordinated their looks, as Michael matched his blue shirt and tie to the flowers on Carole’s £275 ME+EM dress.
Michael’s tan accessories, including his shoes and belt, were the same colour as the band on Carole’s straw boater, as temperatures in London soared to 31C.
Carole also opted to wear ME+EM yesterday, when she attended Wimbledon with her younger daughter, Pippa Matthews, with the Middleton matriarch donning a white fit-and-flare maxi dress with a blue blazer.
She finished her look with a pair of sunglasses, open-toe beige sandals, and a raffia bag as the pair joined celebrities and royals at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Tuesday.
Stars like Benedict Cumberbatch, Molly-Mae Hague, Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson, Amanda Holden, and Wanda Sykes mingled with members of royalty, as Princess Margaret’s daughter, Lady Sarah Chatto, represented The Firm.
Other notable guests at Wimbledon today include Sir Clive Alderton, a former diplomat who has worked as King Charles’s Private Secretary since 2006, American actress Arden Cho of KPop Demon Hunters, and Catherine’s former right-hand woman, Natasha Archer.

It comes after Carole was invited to the Royal Box at Wimbledon alongside her daughter, Pippa, yesterday.
The mother and sister of the future Queen were seen arriving at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club grounds in London yesterday, as Pippa clutched a straw hat to shield herself from the bright sunshine.
She served courtside glamour in a £278 Reformation Naira Dress in the shade ‘dolly dot’, which she paired with sunglasses and white statement heels.
Meanwhile, Carole was a vision in white as she stepped out in a fit-and-flare maxi dress from royal-approved brand Me+Em, which she wore with a blue blazer from Catherine Walker.
She finished the look with a tan Longchamp bag worth £612 and £495 slingback heels from the brand Emmy London.
Both Pippa and Carole have been documented to be lifelong tennis enthusiasts, and are regular fixtures at the Wimbledon Championships.
After making a glamorous entrance, Pippa and Carole took their seats in the prestigious box overlooking Centre Court and were spotted chatting animatedly with tennis superstar Roger Federer.
They appeared delighted to see the eight-time Wimbledon champion, believed to be close friends with the Middleton clan.
Although Carole and Pippa were seated behind Federer, 44, in the second row, that did not stop him from turning around to chat with the duo before the group headed up to the famous Champions’ balcony in the Clubhouse.
Lady Sarah Chatto and Daniel Chatto also attended day nine of the Championships

However, their catch-up was interrupted when Federer politely excused himself to wave at screaming fans, as Carole and Pippa appeared just as enamoured by the ‘ultimate gentleman of tennis’.
Footage posted on Instagram showed Pippa and Carole beaming as Federer sat down at the table amid a chorus of ‘thank you, Roger’ from the fans below.
While the Princess of Wales, who visited a children’s hospital in London yesterday, was absent, Catherine has previously revealed that the Swiss ace is ‘my mother’s heartthrob’ while commenting on the family’s years-long friendship with Federer.
Speaking in the 2017 BBC documentary, Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon, the then-Duchess of Cambridge said: ‘Roger is my mother’s heartthrob. I don’t think she will mind me saying that! I think he probably knows that too.’
Catherine’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, recently travelled to Wales to support their daughter as she undertook the Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
They were joined by the future Queen’s brother James, who joined Catherine for parts of the endurance event, which involves scaling three of the highest peaks in the UK within 24 hours.
