The Princess of Wales served fashion aces once again at Wimbledon this year, which saw the return of her fabulous sun hat. For her second appearance at the 2025 tournament, the ever-stylish royal had her LK Bennett Saffron Straw Floppy hat handy. Catherine put on her chic headwear while sitting in the Royal Box on Centre Court during Sunday's gentlemen's singles final between Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Italy's Jannik Sinner.

The Princess also wore the wide-brimmed hat at Wimbledon in 2022 with her yellow Roksanda dress. The floppy hat, which retails for $125—but is currently out of stock—is described as "full of vintage charm and "absolutely takes on that glamour. Crafted from natural woven straw, it's a wide-brimmed, floppy style with a round crown and is finished with an elegant black ribbon. Shade seekers will love it."

In addition to the hat, Catherine kept cool on Sunday with help from her 10-year-old daughter. Princess Charlotte was seen sweetly fanning her mother in the Royal Box. This year, the mother-daughter duo were joined at Wimbledon by Prince William and Prince George. The day before the family outing, Catherine, patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, attended the ladies' singles final solo.

Amid her chemotherapy treatment last year, the royal mom of three attended the 2024 gentlemen's singles final with Charlotte and her younger sister Pippa Middleton. The match marked the Princess of Wales' second official public appearance that year. Earlier this month, Catherine candidly opened up about the period that follows cancer treatment. "You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult," she said, via PEOPLE.

"You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to," the Princess continued. "And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable."

Catherine also noted that it "takes time" to "find your new normal," describing it as a "roller coaster, it's not smooth, like you expect it to be." She added, "But the reality is you go through hard times."
