She carried a clutch bag with an inspirational message.

The light blue bag read: “I’m not saying I am Wonder Woman. I’m just saying that no one has ever seen me and Wonder Woman in the same place.”

A number of royals turned out for the famous tennis games.

It came after Meghan Markle’s Wimbledon appearance drew criticism after she asked members of the public not to take pictures of her. 

the Duchess was criticised for the move, and one critic said the row could put the monarch at risk.

Speaking to Express.co.uk on the matter Graham Smith, CEO of anti-monarchy campaign group, Republic, revealed one key point.
