The Duchess of Cambridge wore her favourite New Zealand fashion designer on her first public appearance since spending a few days in self-isolation, following a Covid-19 scare.
Kate Middleton attended the Wimbledon women's final wearing a dress by Emilia Wickstead, a Kiwi fashion designer whose pieces had previously been wornby the duchess.
The royal had been in quarantine since Friday, July 2, after she had been in contact with someone who later tested positive for Covid-19.
