We’re only a month or so into 2026, but already Kate Middleton has been seen out and about multiple times—first making a surprise visit to London’s Charing Cross railway station, before heading to Bradford in her favorite baker-boy hat and a DIY braid. And now, the Princess of Wales has made a trip to Melin Tregwynt, a historic woollen mill on the Pembrokeshire coast, known mostly for weaving traditional Welsh double-cloth designs.
For the trip, Kate wore a red-toned, intricately designed ’60s-era coat crafted from Welsh tapestry wool—a very fitting tribute to the mill. Beneath it, she went smart yet casual, opting for a dark grey roll neck and grey trousers, showcasing her usual preference for smartly tailored yet understated garments.
This isn’t the first time the princess has visited a textile mill. Back in September, she toured Sudbury Mill in Suffolk, very swiftly followed by Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent—the latter of which specializes in hand-designed and screen-printed furnishing fabrics. Then, just last week, she was up in Stirling, Scotland, at the Radical Weavers charity, where she tried her hand at traditional tartan weaving.
Could it be that the Princess of Wales is on the cusp of releasing her own textile line? Is she going to open a mill? Is she going to retrain as a weaver? Questions, questions, so many questions. Only time will tell.
