Princess Kate appeared to send "a message" to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during an engagement on Wednesday. The royal stepped out on September 11 for a solo visit to Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk and a school in Kent.
Kate, who regularly champions British designers, chose a look which appeared to reinforce her allegiance to her "King and country". According to fashion director Laura Craig, the outfit choice appeared to be a dig at Harry and Meghan.
She told the Mail: "Since nothing in Kate's wardrobe is ever worn by accident, it's hard not to question her design - and timing - in choosing to wear such a coded and patriotic fabric as the Prince of Wales check.
"Smart as it is, it's often avoided by those on public duties due to the fact that the checks don't always photograph well, and can appear blurry. Clearly, this was of less concern than the message it conveyed. The message being: here stand the real bastions of the British Royal Family, in all their stalwart dedication to king and country. Any other pretenders can get back in their box - or on a plane to Montecito."
