Kate Middleton visited RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire on Thursday, wearing a sleek, tailored trouser suit styled with a tonal knit underneath.
The Princess of Wales toured the station, meeting personnel and learning more about its work.
During the visit, she viewed the station’s Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) Typhoon aircraft, which provide around-the-clock protection for UK airspace and respond to potential threats or unidentified aircraft alongside RAF Lossiemouth.
She also toured the newly opened Typhoon Future Synthetic Training Facility, which offers cutting-edge training environments for pilots.
She met with members of the welfare team, who support the well-being of RAF personnel and their families.
The Princess also spent time with aviators from junior ranks, hearing about their day-to-day roles and experiences on site.
Finally, she also spent time with families of serving personnel, hearing about their experiences.
RAF Coningsby is one of the UK’s most important air force bases, home to the Typhoon force as well as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which preserves historic aircraft and honours those who fought in the Second World War.
This was the Princess’s inaugural trip to the base since she was appointed to the role of Royal Honorary Air Commodore in August 2023—a position previously held by Prince William.
William had served as Coningsby’s Honorary Air Commodore for more than a decade before passing the patronage on to his wife.

For the visit, the Princess wore a tailored grey trouser suit, styled with a coordinating grey knit underneath.
The sharp two-piece featured a fitted single-breasted blazer and slim-cut trousers.
She finished the look with a slim navy leather belt and pointed suede heels.
Her hair was swept back into a half-up style.

Nice suit! YAY! The trousers are not dragging on the floor!!! Win/win!!!
It’s begging for some color underneath it, though. I am not fond of the gray sweater she chose to wear with it. I’d go for a pop of color.
I resigned myself to rarely ever gravitating to her shoe collection.
