Princess Kate made her debut at this year's Wimbledon tournament, gracing the event on the second-to-last day. Her presence was eagerly awaited by royal enthusiasts, who had been anticipating her appearance since the tournament's commencement earlier in the month. She was there to witness the Women's Singles Final, a match between Amanda Anisimova of America and Iga Swiatek of Poland.
While not accompanied by other senior members of the Royal Family, Princess Kate was joined by two less frequently seen royals in the Royal Box on Centre Court. Lady Helen Taylor and her daughter, Estella Taylor, were present to enjoy the Women's Singles Final alongside the Princess of Wales. This marked a notable occasion, as Lady Helen's public appearances are relatively infrequent.
Lady Helen Taylor, currently 47th in line to the throne, is the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, and Katharine, Duchess of Kent. She is not often photographed at public events with her father, but she has occasionally attended major events such as Wimbledon and the royal Christmas lunch. The Duke and Duchess of Kent also have two sons, George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews, and Lord Nicholas Windsor. Lady Helen has also been a guest at Princess Kate's annual "Together at Christmas" carol concert, which has been held in London each year since 2021.
Beyond her royal connections, Lady Helen Taylor is recognized for her appreciation of fashion. She served as the fashion ambassador and muse to designer Giorgio Armani for a significant period, from 2001 to 2018. At Wimbledon, she was accompanied by one of her four children, her youngest daughter, Estella, who is 20 years old. Lady Helen and her husband, Timothy Taylor, are also parents to sons George and Edward, and a daughter named Eloise.

The Royal family is stuck in time. This article is boring.

Great to see a bit of a change up with Lady Helen Taylor! Always good to see the lesser-known royals.

What a waste of money! Couldn't they have spent the money on something better?

A refreshing change from the usual royal news, focusing on the support from the Royal family for the community.

How wonderful that Princess Kate attended the Women's Final! Supporting women's sport is fantastic.

I'd rather read about something that matters than who is at Wimbledon.
