Princess of Wales steps out in Victoria Beckham trousers as Catherine appears to send subtle message

By choosing Victoria Beckham trousers, the princess appeared to be sending a subtle message amid the Beckham family feud.

David and Victoria's eldest son, Brooklyn, publicly distanced himself from his parents and siblings on Instagram last month with a six-page-long statement describing the fallout.

The Beckhams have been longtime supporters of the Royal Family, with King Charles knighting Sir David in November 2025.

In addition, both Prince William and Prince Harry have maintained a friendly relationship with Sir David over the years.

During today's visit, Catherine also wore a bespoke coat with fabric from Melin Tregwynt, the woollen mill where the future Queen visited today.

The mill weaves traditional Welsh designs in a remote wooded valley on the Pembrokeshire coast.

Melin Tregwynt has been in continuous operation since at least 1841 and is still weaving today, employing over 40 local people.

Catherine accessorised with £89 garnet gold earrings from Spells of Love, a Welsh brand, thereby showing support for the local fashion economy.

For footwear, the princess donned £495 Emmy Josie pumps in chocolate suede.

Melin Tregwynt focuses on combining traditional patterns with beautiful colour and innovative design, to create woollen blankets, scarves and cushions that are sold across the world.

It holds an extensive archive of traditional patterns, which are carefully preserved and faithfully revived so that the craft can be passed on to future generations.

During the visit, Catherine met Melin Tregwynt’s director, Louise Clarke, to hear how the mill is preserving traditional craft skills.

It draws on generations of expertise among its staff to mentor and inspire a new cohort of young apprentices.

The princess then spent time with weavers at the loom and learnt about the skills required for Welsh double cloth weaving, which Melin Tregwynt is renowned for.

It is a traditional, wool textile technique producing reversible, thick blankets with inverted patterns on each side.

Catherine then followed the process of blanket weaving, from design to finished product, seeing the weaving loom in action and meeting the teams working on cutting, sewing and finishing.
