Earlier that day (3rd July)...looking through photos of her visits to Scottish Parliament.
Not a fan of this yellow dress at all

Wimbledon
Wills and Kate (numbered 4 and 5) were joined by a dazzling array of stars from all walks of life yesterday who took their places in the Royal Box.
Either side of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was Wimbledon's biggest bigwig, the man who makes it all happen, Philip Brook (6), chairman of the All England Club, and his wife Gill (9).
Britain's royal couple also had the royal couple of tennis, U.S. star Andre Agassi (7) and the darling of Centre Court Steffi Graf (8), offering some expert anaysis one seat away.
Agassi was by no means the only American, maybe because July 4 wasn't just quarter finals day, but also Independence Day, which may explain the high number of visitors from across the Atlantic.
Other Yanks included the billionaire American businessman and philanthropist Dennis Washington and his wife Phyllis (6 and 9), former U.S. professional tennis player turned coach Todd Martin (29), his friend David Helfer (30).
In the front row one of the greatest of them all was sat, the four-time Wimbledon champion and Australian tennis legend Rod Laver (1), who holds the record - 200 - for the most singles titles won in the history of the game. Next to him (2) was the Kiwi is credited with helping to mastermind Laver's brilliant career.
At the other end, was the Queen's cousin Prince Michael of Kent (11) with his daughter in law Lady Frederick Windsor (12) and son, the former playboy aristocrat who once dabbled in cocaine Lord Frederick Windsor (13).
The Prince's wife Princess Michael of Kent (14), nicknamed 'Princess Pushy' because of her over-confident manner, completed the first row with a heavy royal contingent.
In the second row there was Richard Krajicek, Dutch former Wimbledon champion (15), and another former professional tennis player from the The Netherlands Jacco Eltingh (16).
Barbara Slater (17), the BBC's director of sport and BBC director of London 2012, with her 14-year-old daughter Elizabeth Schofield (18).
Former British No 1 Tim Henman's father is next (19) with his wife Jane (20) next to England manager Roy Hodgson (21) and his wife Sheila (22).
Francesco Ricci Bitti (23), president of the International Tennis Federation, was joined by Steve Healy (25), the president of Tennis Australia, and his wife Cathy (24).
The giant Aussie Mark Philippoussis, who was beaten in 2003 Wimbledon final by Roger Federer, was sat way back in the third row (26) alongside tennis broadcaster and former U.S. player Pam Shriver (27) and her friend Robert Ketterer (28).
The former U.S. professional tennis player turned coach Todd Martin (29), his friend David Helfer (30), the Swede Jonas Bjorkman and World Squash Association chairman Ingrid Lofdahl-Bentzer (32) are also on a sports personality-dominated third row until the veteran chat show host Sir Michael Parkinson (33) and his wife Lady Mary Parkinson (34) were spotted.
Further back in the cheap seats there was president of the Lawn Tennis Association Peter Bretherton (36), his wife Anne (37), Peter Fleming (38), who won 57 doubles titles with John McEnroe, including four Wimbledon crowns, and Peter's daughter Holly (39).

I see what you mean.mmmmmm it does look a little unkempt.
I wondered why she was wearing a short dress when the others had on long gowns, I didn't find out, but maybe it was because they had to wear long cloaks for the Order of the Thistle ceremony. Anyway, while I was looking for that I saw that this Emilia Wickstead dress was specially made for her and cost 1,200 pounds. Apparently others have been critical of the look also. It seems that the bag and shoes were "chocolate" and the hat is "mocha", so perhaps she thought that was close enough.
