On February 11, 2025, the Princess of Wales visited the Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) at HMP Styal, a prison and young offender institution near Wilmslow. While there, the Princess of Wales met specialist staff supporting new mothers and visited a nursery for babies who spend their first formative months inside a prison.
During her official visit, the Princess met women being supported by the Action for Children charity, which runs three MBUs inside prisons in the North of England. These units provide a dedicated space for new and expectant mothers serving a prison sentence or on remand. The Princess became Patron of Action for Children in 2016. During her visit, the Princess of Wales wore a bespoke burgundy tartan coat by Blazé Milano.
She’s lovely. I heard on the rumour mill that she wants the focus off her clothes and onto her causes, which I find entirely admirable. If this is true, then the colours she’s chosen are brilliant for the purpose as it’s very difficult to distinguish the different clothing items or to identify them. Impressive lady.
ReplyDeleteI heard the same thing. The thinking is that she is wearing the same outfit from a few weeks ago for that reason.
DeleteI also read that the venal port for her chemo is still attached below her right collar bone near her neck (where those kinds of ports are usually placed when not on the arm) and so she is wearing clothing that makes the bump less conspicuous, such as thicker sweaters and pullovers, multiple layers, and darker colours (browns, blacks and greys).

Anon 9:13, she herself has said she no longer has a port so I think that which you have read might be manufactured by a women’s magazine to sell more copies.
Delete@Anon 14:47 lol! I don't think that kind of information would be a good stragegy to increase a magazines sales.

I am delighted to see that the Princess of Wales is gradually resuming her activities.

I am very happy to see her again.

Hear hear!
DeleteBella Catherine, che gioia vedere il tuo sorriso ♥️
ReplyDeleteCatherine looks beautiful. This outfit suits the visit and well done to her. The coat looks warm.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad to see Catherine re-wearing items from her closet. Our lovely royal ladies have a plethora of items that can be reworn time and time again. Queen Mary does this regularly. So I’m happy to see Catherine following suit.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
Looks like a nice warm coat. I find this length just makes such a long thin silhouette.
ReplyDeleteCatherine cares about prisoners, she has a good heart!
ReplyDelete❤️
DeleteShe is a real royal in all aspects!
ReplyDeleteThe colours suit her and her smile is wonderful. Gorgeous lady!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Catherine all the attention on her work and not about her outfits.’ Bravo well done
ReplyDeleteThe coat looks good and warm but too long.

If life would have been different, Catherine could have been one of this women...
ReplyDeleteUhhh?
DeleteUn manteau chaud qui convient bien à sa longue silhouette !
ReplyDeleteShe is amazing and so beautiful. She has such a smile and laughter. I admire this.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the outfit;it is neither nothing or something.Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth would choose bright clothes so people could distinguish her in the crowd.Earrings nice .Lipstick dull;she needs something to brighten her face.There are so many people who do amazing things in the volunteering line.(Tara)
ReplyDeleteYou're right that many people do incredible work in volunteering, and it's great to recognize their contributions. But with royals like Princess Catherine, it’s not just about the outfit—it’s about their presence and what they’re doing to make a difference, which is the real focus.
DeleteI love this coat and evidently so does Catherine--I believe this is the second outing for this coat in a few weeks. It fits her perfectly and she looks fabulous. Her warmth and smiles are why people so love her--she is genuine, what you see is real.
