The Marchioness of Bath, HELLO!’s Social Editor at Large, has spoken about her fondest memories of Wimbledon and how the Princess of Wales is a sartorial “inspiration” when it comes to dressing impeccably for the tennis.
Chatting with us at the HELLO! x Emirates Power Duo Luncheon on Day Two of the Championships at the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, Emma also recalled a sweet memory of the Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte last year.

“She is always dressed impeccably everywhere she goes, but Wimbledon especially.”
“And I love that she came with her daughter Princess Charlotte last year, I was also there that day and it was so sweet to see them sitting there watching together.

“But overall, she’s always an inspiration for Wimbledon fashion. If you’re looking for a mood board of what to wear to the tennis then look to her, she always looks so smart.”
She added: “This outfit is from Self-Portrait, I love what they do. And I thought I’d go for demure, I feel like everyone wants to dress respectfully for Wimbledon.”

Love for tennis
Emma also revealed that her two children, John, aged ten, and Henry, aged nine, whom she shares with her husband, Ceawlin, Viscount Weymouth, are keen tennis players and even train competitively.
“My kids love tennis, they both play, but my ten-year-old [John] is really into it. He’s convinced that he’s going to be a professional tennis player, he plays three hours a week, winter, summer, event when it’s cold.”

Emma continued: “It’s such a highlight of British summertime. Growing up and watching it, the professionals always say there’s something so special about Wimbledon, and to be here and be part of it is such an honour.”
