The Princess of Wales brought back a Burberry suit for today's engagements at textile mills in Leeds and Lancaster. Kensington Palace said in a release the Princess has ...long been passionate about the importance of the textiles industry and that today's engagements involved learning more ...about the heritage, history, and innovation of the industry, the technical processes involved and how vital the sector is to the UK economy. Her first stop was at AW Hainsworth, a historic mill in Pudsey, West Yorkshire. A video as the Princess arrived via Richard Palmer of The Daily Express. The Princess of Wales is in Leeds today, visiting A W Hainsworth’s textile mill in Leeds which made fabrics for the Coronation and is part of a company that bought her great-grandfather’s business in 1958. pic.twitter.com/x7g7MxLYPr — Richard Palmer (@RoyalReporter) September 26, 2023 In his People story, Simon Perry explains the Princess's family connection to AW Hainsworth. Kate visited AW Hainsworth, a family-owned heritage textile mill on the outskirts of Leeds. Her paternal ancestors were owners of a local woolen manufacturer and merchant William Lupton and Co., which was sold to AW Hainsworth in 1958. Kate’s great-grandfather Noel Middleton, who married Olive Lupton in 1914, was a director of the company. Noel and Olive had three sons including Peter Middleton, Kate’s grandfather and the dad of her father, Michael. Here is a quick video that references the Middleton family ties.

At the coronation, Prince Louis wore a Garter Tunic made from Hainsworth doeskin fabric. As noted in a news release, the company is a fully integrated, vertical textile mill which supplies fabrics to a wide range of customers – from fashion and homeware brands to the Armed Forces. AW Hainsworth makes the fabric used for the Grenadier Guards uniforms, seen here at the Trooping the Colour 2022. The Princess had a tour of the mill. Another view. She also learned about the manufacturing process. AW Hainsworth uses traditional machinery and techniques, still considered the backbone of today's industry. Here, you see her with Zeb Akhtar, Senior Weaver Trainer. More from Rebecca English's story in The Daily Mail. Zeb Akhtar, senior weaver trainer who talked the princess through some of the process, said afterwards: ‘She was very interested in the process and I talked her through how we made the cloth for the Guards on the somet loom. She had a good background knowledge. 'The princess wanted to know how it would stop if anything happened and as we were talking a thread snapped and it stopped automatically. We can make a hundred yards in an eight-hour shift. ‘It was such a pleasure to have her, very good. We feel very proud at being a royal warrant holder. We work hard and look after the royal family whenever they call upon us.’ It looked like the Princess enjoyed herself. Rebecca English also reported that at one point, she grabbed handfuls of freshly-woven Merino wool fabric and declared: 'I love the feel of it and the smell of it!' The Princess met Oliver, a mannequin modeling the King's Guard military uniform. A brief video via Rebecca English.

The company now has one of the dresses on display. The Princess wore this dress by @MaddersonLdn when she was pregnant - the fabric was by @AWHainsworth who now have the original dress on show! pic.twitter.com/xMhIMhJdDR — Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) September 26, 2023 Sadly, Madderson closed in 2019. Rebecca English also reported on an iconic item sold by Hudson's Bay. Her eye was also caught by a group of ladies packing cream blankets with a distinctive colourful stripe for Canadian firm Hudson Bay, part of a batch of 1,600 that are being made and packed to send out in time for their Christmas market. ‘I really recognise this,’ she said. ‘I think we were given one on tour to Canada as a gift. So I’ve still got it. It’s in a box. I’ll take photograph and send it to you. 'I use it for the children all the time. I am going to double check when I get home and look at the label.’ Below, a wave from the Princess as she leaves AW Hainsworth. The second stop today for the Princess was in Lancaster, where she visited Standfast & Barracks. Founded in 1924, the company is known for its textile printing—more from Lancaster Live's report. The firm, now part of the Sanderson Design Group, is renowned for its heritage in textile design and creativity and employs around 160 staff to design and print 35,000 metres of printed fabrics each week. On its website, Standfast and Barracks say they plan ...to be Net Zero emissions by 2030, we continue to reduce our carbon emissions to protect future generations and unite against climate change, whilst proudly being Planet Mark certified for the past three years. Planet Mark is a recognized symbol of sustainability progress. It demonstrates a business' commitment to measuring and reducing its carbon emissions... per the Planet Mark site. Below, the Princess with the company's Creative Director, Emma Douglas. The Princess met the founders of House of Hackney, a British interior design brand, Javvy M. Royle (center), and Frieda Gormley (right). The Princess learned about the product development process between Standfast & Barracks and House of Hackney. We return to the Lancaster Live story. They are now collaborating with Standfast & Barracks, to pioneer sustainable, traceable materials in their work. Mr Royle said: “The whole re-gen thing is quite important to us, so we have been on this journey looking at all our fabrics.” Kate said: “There is a growing need, isn’t there? And some understanding, from the consumer, about where their products come from.” The Princess met Peter Ellison, the company's longest-serving employee. In November, Mr. Ellison will have been with the company for fifty years. Mr. Ellison's granddaughter, 7-year-old Emily May Catto, gave the Princess a picture she had drawn and a bouquet of flowers. Mr. Ellison told Lancaster Live the Princess asked Emily ...about what colors she liked. She said keep up dancing. She told us about her daughter, Charlotte, she likes ballet and tap. Below, a video via Richard Palmer.

Now for our look at what Kate wore for today's engagements. She was in custom separates by Burberry that we first saw in photos and a video used for the launch of the Shaping Us project, then worn again this March for a meeting with Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. The blazer is a custom version of the brand's Wool Tailored Jacket ($2050), seen below in grey. The garment features a loose single-breasted silhouette with front flap pockets, defined shoulders, notch lapels, and four buttons prominently placed at the cuff. The Wool Wide-Leg Trousers ($1050) have a front zipper, angled front pockets, back button-through welt pockets, pleats, and belt loops. We saw the return of the 'Josie' Block Heel Pumps ($490) by go-to brand Emmy London. The Princess wore her hair down. She had on a new pair of earrings, the Shyla 'Rosalia' style (£68), with thanks to Found by Bojana for this ID. They are made in the UK of sterling silver with 22K gold plating and freshwater pearls. She also wore her Laura Lombardi 'Portrait' 14kt Gold-Plated Chain Necklace ($158), a chunky style with round and oval links. It was first noted when worn to a Boston Celtics NBA game last December. I show the necklace at Matches Fashion ($158) above, but it is also available at SSense ($160), as well as from Laura Lombardi ($180) and Net-a-Porter ($205). VIDEOS: ITN's Royal Family Channel offers roughly three minutes of coverage of the AW Hainsworth visit in this video. And roughly the same amount of coverage of the Standfast & Barracks visit in this video.
Pictures as people across the UK get ready to celebrate on Saturday.
