Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Just Made Their First Solo Appearance Together at Wimbledon

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stepped out in public together for the first time sans husbands, and from all accounts, the duchesses’ day out looks like a ton of fun: They headed to Wimbledon to watch Markle’s bud Serena Williams take on the Ladies’ Singles Final.

The royal sisters-in-law have been spotted with Princes Harry and William plenty of times, but they left the boys at home for this match. (Prince Harry and Markle just came back from a two-day tour in Dublin, so maybe some girl time was in order.)

Both of them appeared in chic coordinated outfits, with Markle in a striped, blue-and-white Ralph Lauren blouse and Middleton in a dress that seems to be a Jenny Packham design. Markle also wore a white straw boater hat that looks reminiscent of one she wore at Wimbledon back in 2016, which is around the time she met Prince Harry. As Elle points out, at that Wimbledon match, she was photographed chatting with Ralph Lauren PR rep Violet von Westenholz, who was the person to eventually set her up with her future husband. That makes her Ralph Lauren nod even sweeter: Her return to Wimbledon is the first time she’s attended the tennis tournament as a royal.

People reports that before the match, they said hi to several former female tennis champions and talked with some of the ball girls and boys to learn more about the tournament. The Wimbledon Foundation also tweeted several photos of Markle and Middleton meeting with Tia Clarke, the 11-year-old girl who did the coin toss for the match.

All available photographic evidents points to Markle and Middleton having a ball (ha) at the match, which makes us confident they’ll keep hanging out and achieving royal friendship goals.

Meghan Markle Is Reportedly Doing Her First Solo Engagement With the Queen This Month

Meghan Markle is reportedly about to get some major one-on-one time with her new grandmother-in-law. According to People, the newest royal will accompany Queen Elizabeth II on a “road trip” June 14. They’ll travel to Chester, England, 165 miles northwest of London, to unveil a new bridge, open the Storyhouse Theater, and visit Chester Town Hall for lunch. While the Duchess of Sussex traveled on a number of official visits with Prince Harry—and one with Queen Elizabeth—leading up to their May 19 nuptials, this is supposedly the first time she’ll be going solo with the queen.

Markle met the queen for the first time back in September, shortly after she went on a three-week trip to Africa with Prince Harry. The pair announced their engagement two months later, and the royal matriarch bestowed her formal consent upon their marriage in May.

Following the wedding, Markle was reported to be starting six months of “royal lessons” in order to make her transition into the family as smooth as possible. In those lessons, she’ll apparently learn all the rules of the royal road, and get ready for many, many more outings — with the queen and all the other royals — in the future.

As People reports, the former Suits star has been excited to “hit the ground running” now that she’s officially a part of the royal family, and her outing with the queen is a clear step in that direction. “She’s not going to want to be a quiet princess and simply open hospitals or cut ribbons,” a source previously told the magazine. The Duchess of Sussex reportedly wants to focus on issues surrounding young women and teenage girls, but is also “familiarizing herself with the landscape in this country,” as evidenced by her upcoming trip to Chester. “She’s meeting groups and wants to do that privately, so she can get to know people,” the source added.
