Princess Kate Continues Her Plaid Kick—And Subtly Honors Prince William—With Her Latest Power Suit

We're not even halfway through September, but it's proving to be one of the busiest months for Princess Kate in a long time. After kicking off the month with new blonde hair at London's Natural History Museum on September 4, the princess attended a rugby match (and went back to bronde hair), and honored Queen Elizabeth on the third anniversary of her death. On Thursday, September 11, she was out yet again, visiting textile mills in Sudbury and Cuxton, England in a classic gray suit.

The Royal Family is following a period of mourning to honor the Duchess of Kent, who died on September 4 at the age of 92. The Princess of Wales has been wearing shades of black and gray at her engagements since the late duchess's death, and she wore a simple black T-shirt with a gray plaid blazer and matching trousers. In keeping with her celebration of British craftsmanship and its textile industry, she chose a suit by London-based Bella Freud, as identified by eagle-eyed fan @_mirelabeleva_ on Instagram (via Royal British Fashion).
