Princess Catherine appeared to send a carefully chosen “message” to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle just a day after King Charles reunited with his youngest son following 18 months apart.
The Princess of Wales, 43, stepped out at Sudbury Silk Mills on Thursday in a $1,720 Earl jacket and $1,070 Schoolboy trousers by British designer Bella Freud. She paired the outfit with a black Boden sweater and gold diamond hoop earrings.
What caught everyone’s attention, however, was her choice of fabric — Glen plaid, also known as Prince of Wales check — a style many saw as a deliberate nod of support to her husband in the wake of Harry’s meeting with King Charles.
A Statement Through Style
Catherine’s decision to wear the distinctive print was particularly striking because royal family members often avoid the pattern in public, as it can appear distorted on camera. The timing left many convinced it was no coincidence.
Social media lit up with reactions:
“Catherine’s subtle message she stands with her man,” one person wrote on X.
“Yes…Prince of Wales check…classic and timeless. NOT a random choice, to be sure,” another added.
