Meghan Markle’s Wimbledon seats have certainly improved over the years, even if her courtside style remains the same.
The newlywed sat in the royal box at the Ladies' Single Final on Saturday alongside sister-in-lawKate Middletonduring theirfirst-ever outing without their husbands. Meghan held a familiar accessory — a white straw hat with a black band above the brim, the same one she sported while attending the tennis tournament in 2016 — but never wore it as she watched Angelique Kerber take onSerena Williams (a close friend of hers!). Turns out, that’s because wearing a hat from the royal box is discouraged.
“Protocol – dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them,” according to Wimbledon’sdescription of the royal boxon their website.

While she opted for a pop of color in ablue-and-white striped topfrom Ralph Lauren and a classic pair of creamwide-leg silk pantsfrom the same designer on Saturday, she stayed true to hercrisp pants and button-up shirt combination.
