Royal | News - Prince Ricardo De La Cerda
Princess Kate knows all about fashion and her daughter Princess Charlotte seems to be following suit. The young royal was spotted with her mother at Wimbledon in July, during one of Kate’s high-profile public appearances of the summer.
The pair, along with Pippa Middleton, were sat in the Royal Box on Centre Court of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, watching as Carlos Alcaraz defeated Novak Djokovic in three sets to win back-to-back Wimbledon titles.
While going through ongoing cancer treatment, Princess Kate arrived at the event in a purple midi Safiyaa dress. Princess Charlotte arrived equally in style wearing a Guess Girls Chiffon Polka Dot Dress in Navy (for £70).
Princess Charlotte also wowed with her simple ballet flats which are classic and chic. She opted for a Papouelli ‘Missi’ Ballarina Flats in Cream which retail for upwards of £97.00.
While the price of this pair of shoes may be a bit steep for many, there are more affordable alternatives available to those who want to replicate the young princess’ look for less.
On the Papouelli website, it says the shoes are made using the finest leathers, adding: “They are super comfortable with a cushiony sole and come in a range of colour choices. The white, pearl-cream, silver, gold or platinum metallics work well for flower girls and first communions. Otherwise a perfect everyday choice in navy metallic or black patent. Suits a wider foot.”
You can find alternatives at New Look where a pair of Black Leather-Look Ballerina Pumps will cost you £15.99.
At Zara, a pair of Patent-Finish Ballet Flats with straps will set you back only £19.99. And they come with a double strap with buckle fastening, with a flexible insole and rubber sole, making it a good option for back to school.
Zara also has shoes designed specifically for school but they’re slightly more costly, with the School Ballet Flats retailing at £45.99.
Trusty old Clarkes also has Girl’s Scala Tap K Ballet Flats, available at Amazon for upwards of £20.90, depending on size.
And Amaia is offering Mary Jane Velvet ballet shoes in black which are perfect for winter.
With any of these, you’ll give Princess Charlotte a run for her money, though the royal does have a pretty big style inspiration in mum Kate.
Following the game, Charlotte and her mother had the opportunity to personally meet the players and congratulate Alcaraz on his second Wimbledon title.
