Tweed is a type of fabric that has been popular since the 19th century. It is a rough, woolen fabric that is usually made in a twill weave. Tweed is usually associated with clothing such as jackets, trousers and skirts, but it can also be used to make accessories such as purses, hats, and scarves. Tweed is popular because it is durable and can be designed in a variety of colors and patterns, making it a popular choice for fashion. Tweed is also known for its warmth and comfort, making it a popular choice for outdoor wear. This article will discuss the history of tweed, its uses, and its current popularity.
The Prince & Princess Mark 14th Anniversary on Isle of Mull – What Kate Wore
The Princess of Wales wore casual designs for today's visit to the Isle of Mull in Scotland with Prince William. Today is the couple's fourteenth wedding anniversary—more from The Daily Mail's piece by Rebecca English. It's set to be a romantic getaway, with William and Kate renting an isolated self-catering cottage for two during the visit - 14 years after they tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011. The Lord and Lady of the Isles - as they are known in the region, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay - arrived in Tobermory this afternoon wearing matching tweed jackets as they begin a two-day visit to the Inner Hebrides. Here is a quick video about the area Kensington Palace posted before their visit. Looking forward to arriving in Mull tomorrow for two days celebrating and connecting with rural island communities in the beautiful Inner Hebrides. 🏴 pic.twitter.com/IK8porJfvm — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) April 28, 2025 The couple started their day in the harbor town of Tobermory. A sizable crowd waited to greet them. Their first stop was at Aros Hall, a community-owned facility which hosts a wide range of events. The hall is ...home to a community fridge saving food from landfill, a charity shop and a children's indoor play area per The Express's coverage of today's engagements. Matt Wilkinson of The Sun shared a video of the duo as they arrived.

And contributed to a children's wall mural in the hall. You have a better view of the mural in this image.

More from Hello's story. The first to benefit from the Community Impact Programme will be Aros Hall in Tobermory. The 'Rainydays' play area will be transformed into a soft play zone to encourage more play activities between parents and their children. The Co-op, as part of the Foundation's Business Taskforce, will provide funding for the play equipment. The play area is a space that local charity, Home-Start Lorn, regularly uses as part of its work to support parents and carers build strong bonds with their children. Hello also notes the royals spoke with ...members of the team to hear how they are using the Shaping Us Framework that the Princess launched earlier this year.

Interior designer Banjo Beale, a presenter on the BBC's Designing The Hebrides programme and a Mull resident, will work with fellow islanders to ensure the community-owned centres reflect the area's culture. Beale joined the prince and princess, officially known by their Scottish titles the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, as they toured the building on Tobermory's waterfront. I believe Mr. Beale is seen behind Prince William in the seafoam shirt. More from this Daily Mirror piece by Russell Myers. Shown a small work station, where Tom Nelson was making a new 'surround' for the community food bank fridge with wooden tiles on its roof, the Prince and Princess agreed to use a nail gun to add their own. William went first, sniffing the wood as he asked what kind it was and taking instructions on the tool. He fired several nails in successfully before handing it over to his wife, advising her not to pull the trigger then and there otherwise our trip will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Crouching down and adding her tiles matter-of-factly, the Princess was heard to say I've been given a chainsaw for Christmas. I have included a quick video about the area featuring Mr. Beale in the 'videos' section at the bottom of the post. Below, a group photo from the Aros Hall visit. Below, the Prince and Princess as they left the hall.

We learn more from this story in The Irish Press. Maggie Buchanan, an Aros hall committee member, wished William a happy anniversary and when she told him “it’s nice you’re spending it on Mull”, he replied: “Yes, nice.” Kate and William reminisced about their visit to the island when they were students, telling volunteers and hall committee members how they visited Tobermory, where the popular BBC children’s TV series Balamory was filmed almost 25 years ago. William told Beale and others: “It was 2003 when we were here. We had a lovely time here – it’s wonderful.” The Prince and Princess spoke with well-wishers gathered near Aros Hall. The Princess speaking with another young lady outside the hall. It looked like it was a lovely day for today's engagements. The royals then headed to the Tobermory Producers Market. The market showcases work by local makers, artists, and food producers.

We return to the Daily Mirror article. The princess spent so long speaking to Sheila Barnard at a pop up market in the village of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, that her husband Prince William jokingly suggested he was going to stage an intervention. Moving along several stall holders from local businesses, William and Kate - known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, stopped to talk to Sheila and her husband Tim who have been keeping bees for more than 30 years. Sheila told the princess how their nine colonies of the native black bee are the only variety that survive over 5 degrees during the harsh winters on the island. Kate said: “This is my summer project, I’ve only just started. At our home in Norfolk, I’m not there much during term time but during the summer I am hoping to really immerse myself in the process. I find it absolutely fascinating. I’ll have to take your number for some tips! As Kate asked Sheila what sort of advice would you have for a novice, I’m desperate for any tips, William leant in and joked to his wife: This sounds like a conversation that could go on for a while so you’ll have to take Sheila’s number. Speaking with another vendor at the market. The royals spoke with shoppers and artisans. They enjoyed watching the antics of some toddlers at the market. The royals also posed for a few selfies. Both the Prince and Princess appeared to have made a few purchases at the market. It looks like the Prince bought a miniature ceramic bothy, a small cottage or hut. Embed from Getty Imageswindow.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lkGSEDDgRRp2MCXpqzKKXw',sig:'NguWQxawFlLIxqvpQgvmyIjMsXgoXaRzzjFYucvt36o=',w:'485px',h:'594px',items:'2212607824',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })}); After a brief break, the royals visited Croft 3, a croft and restaurant overlooking the water. In a piece about Croft 3, Architectural Review notes that Crofting is an agricultural practice particular to Scotland. A croft is a small piece of land, usually rented by a single person or family from a larger estate and used for keeping animals and cultivating crops. We learn more from the Scottish Crofting Federation: Designed to protect the people from exploitation by landlords in the 19th Century, crofting has a proven track record of maintaining population and economic activity in remote rural areas. Crofting supports local food production while protecting the cultural heritage and the natural environment in the crofting areas. Through its mix of arable and common grazing land, it encourages both communal working and individual enterprise. In these photos, you see the Prince and Princess with owners Jeanette Cutlack and Jack Shaw. The couple toured a portion of the croft's 50 acres and met some of the Hebridean sheep raised on the property. More from The Standard's story. The conversation ranged from dry-stone walling and polytunnels to what grows best in the “salty environment”, and the community benefits of a having local slaughterhouse. After the tour the pair got to work on a small outdoor barbecue, cooking parcels of home-made haggis wrapped in chard with a glaze of honey and Mull whisky. Croft 3 offers workshops on making haggis. The couple as they entered the restaurant. MSN reports the meal served ...about 30 farmers, crofters and pupils from nearby Ulva Ferry Primary School, alongside sausage rolls and savoury scones. More from the MSN piece. Kate was particularly interested in speaking to the schoolchildren at one end of the table, and crouched down to ask them questions. She asked them what their favourite foods were – other than sausage rolls – and whether any were in years two or five, the years her own children Louis and Charlotte are in. She also asked them: “What’s the best thing about living in Mull?” One of the children replied: “Seeing dolphins every day.” Chatting with a local crofter. You can see the Croft 3 April menu here; a 3-course meal is £50 per person (roughly $67 at today's exchange rates. Here is the social media post shared after the couple wrapped up the public portion of their day. Wonderful to be back on the Isle of Mull. Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome ❤️ W & C pic.twitter.com/pBmx9qCLri — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) April 29, 2025 And now for our look at what Kate wore. She debuted a new jacket, Holland Cooper's Double-Breasted Blazer ($929) in brown herringbone. The style is 100% wool with a snug silhouette. It features princess seams, notched lapels, flap pockets, and bold logo buttons. Thank you to Gabi for her speedy ID of this piece. Beneath the blazer, the Princess was in a new shirt. It appears to be a Boden design, the British retailer's Longline Linen Safari Shirt ($155, use promo code VDXR for 10% off). The piece is 80% linen with 20% recycled linen, and features a relaxed fit, a button front, shoulder epaulettes, button cuffs, and two front pockets. It is also available in all sizes on the Next US site ($171). Thank you to Gabi for a great ID! I think the Princess brought back her Massimo Dutti trousers, the brand's Skinny Fit High-Rise Satin Trousers ($69.90, no longer available). The pants were first noted when the Princess visited a garden center in June 2020. They are made of a cotton/lyocell blend with a polished finish, five pockets, zip front, belt loops, and a snug fit. The product description pointed out that the fabric is TENCEL®Lyocell…. made of wood sourced from sustainably managed forests that guarantee reforestation. The Princess wore her See by Chloé boots, a lace-up design with a stacked heel. The Princess wore her hair down, and in most photos, it appears the color is lighter and/or she has had highlights added. It looked like the Princess wore a new pair of Kiki McDonough earrings, the designer's Blue Topaz Pear Drop Earrings (£850, roughly $1140) in 18K yellow gold. Thank you to Mirela on Instagram for the quick ID. This is the third pair of pear drops by Kiki McDonough in the Princess's jewelry wardrobe. The Princess brought back two Daniella Draper necklaces: her Trio Diamond Midnight Moon Necklace ($1800) personalized with George, Charlotte, and Louis's initials, and her Gold Fixed Alphabet Necklace ($500), also featuring the children's initials. We saw the return of the Princess's Finlay Vivian Sunglasses in marble ($240), shown here when first worn at a polo match in July 2023. I will see you tomorrow when the Prince and Princess visit an ancient woodland to meet the Mull and Iona Ranger Service. I'll leave you with a video covering the day posted by Kensington Palace.

The Princess Wears Separates for Rainy Natural History Museum Engagement – What Kate Wore
The Princess of Wales chose neutral separates for an engagement with Prince William at the Natural History Museum today. Here is a quick video of the royals arriving courtesy of Cameron Walker of GB News. NEW: The Prince and Princess of Wales have arrived at @NHM_London to meet children in its gardens. As patron, Catherine, alongside William, will join youngsters in activities designed to connect with nature & boost biodiversity in central London. pic.twitter.com/yFT76s28Hj — Cameron Walker (@CameronDLWalker) September 4, 2025 The Princess greeting a child at the museum. Many readers will recall that the Princess has been the museum's royal patron since 2013. The couple was there to see the museum's new gardens, described as ...a haven for wildlife and people in the heart of London. The gardens are free to visit; no ticket is required. We learn more from this People article. Princess Kate and Prince William learned how the gardens serve as a living laboratory, where visitors and scientists can view wildlife in an urban environment. The royals met students taking part in the National Education Nature Park program. Unfortunately, the outdoor activities at the museum were interrupted by a sudden downpour. Emily Ferguson of The Express shared a video of the rain. Unfortunately the heavens have opened… ☔️ But the Prince and Princess are carrying on deterred by the torrential downpour (even if the schoolchildren aren’t quite so happy by the change in weather) pic.twitter.com/p2PMZwCCAe — Emily Ferguson (@emilyinpalace) September 4, 2025 We return to the People story. Beverley Brown, an assistant headteacher at Kender Primary School, said, according to Hello!: We had been waiting for the session to start, and the children were very excited. Princess Kate was in amongst us and said, 'Let them go in,' and 'Let's take them inside, it's pouring.' Kate was seen helping to guide the young students inside as the rain came down. The Daily Mail has more in this piece. All had to dry off inside the activity centre before the royals took part in a workshop helping the children identify animals encased in blocks and find their regular habitat. Asked by a teacher for their findings, Catherine said the children in her group 'decided spiders are everywhere.' William rested his arm on one teacher's damp shoulders and said: 'Are you wet? We got you inside in time.' We return to the Daily Mail article. Sitting down in the activity centre, Catherine said: 'Sorry we are a bit wet. It was nice and dry and then suddenly within seconds, it was such a lovely day.' William laughed as he added: 'But it's nature, in amongst nature.' Kensington Palace noted the rain in a social media post. Here is a video from the Palace covering the museum visit. Exploring how the @NHM_London is using environmental education with storytelling and hands-on science to engage children with the natural world 🌍 The National Education Park Programme is inspiring young people to connect with nature, and to create more green spaces and habitats… pic.twitter.com/9YtUgYs47h — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) September 4, 2025 We now look at what Kate wore for today's engagement. The blazer appears to be a past-season Ralph Lauren design, thanks to Ellie of Royal British Fashion via Middleton Maven. The single-breasted style is crafted in 100% wool tweed of a green/brown tweed, with notched lapels, angled flap pockets, darts, and a center back vent. I show it below as offered on resale site The Real Real. Beneath the jacket, the Princess had on a white shirt with a point collar and flared cuffs. Both the Mail and the Telegraph are reporting it is by shirtmaker With Nothing Underneath. It's possible she wore the label's Boyfriend Exaggerated Cuff style ($155),but the button spacing on the cuffs doesn't look quite the same. UPDATE: The brand tells Middleton Maven the shirt is their Boyfriend Style in 100% Tencel ($190), featuring a looser fit with pleats across the yoke. I'm not able to tell if the trousers are a dark teal as they appear in some photos, or black, so at this point, they are unidentified. The belt initially resembled the Anderson’s Croc Effect Leather Belt, which has been worn on multiple occasions; however, the buckle hardware is wider (seen below left) than the Anderson's style shown below right. It looks like the Princess wore loafers by Pretty Ballerinas, the Spanish brand specializing in flats and low-heeled designs that we have seen the Princess wear previously. The style is the Ella, with a pointed toe, fringed trim, and gold-toned hardware. Thank you to Kate Middleton Styled this ID, also via Middleton Maven. The Princess wore her hair down with a loose curl. It is clearly lighter than it has been for some time; I was wrong in the most recent post covering August style through the years, saying I thought it was the sunshine making it look so light. She brought back her Classic Blue Topaz Pear Drop Earrings (£850, roughly $1140 at today's exchange rates) by Kiki McDonough. She wore her engagement ring, wedding band, the Annoushka Eclipse Eternity Band ($2200), and the sapphire/diamond band believed to be Cartier's Etincelle style ($5000). The Princess also wore necklaces by Daniella Draper, her Trio Diamond Midnight Moon necklace, and the Fixed Alphabet Style with the initials G, C, and L. Here is one more photo from today's engagement. VIDEO: The Royal Family Channel offers almost 18 minutes of coverage in this video.
The Princess Wears Bella Freud for British Textiles Engagements – What Kate Wore
The Princess of Wales chose a suit by Bella Freud for engagements celebrating British textile makers. She started her day at the Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk, about three hours northeast of Windsor. She was greeted by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, whom many of you will recognize from his years as Private Secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. More on the theme of today's engagements from Hello's coverage. [the Princess]...has long been passionate about the importance of the British textiles industry and its role as part of the UK's cultural and creative voice. She has family links to the industry as her paternal ancestors were the owners of the woollen manufacturer and merchant, William Lupton & Co, which was based in Leeds. Sudbury Silk Mills is a family-run company that has been weaving silk textiles for more than 300 years. The fabric for Queen Camilla's coronation gown was woven in Sudbury, as was the fabric for the wedding gown worn by Diana, Princess of Wales. The Princess looking at one of the looms at the mill. Below, the Princess with account manager Beth Humes (in green) and other employees. More from this BBC story. Beth Humes, account manager at Sudbury Silk Mills, led Catherine through the design part of the process, explaining how they developed their fabric collections. She's got a really good understanding of textiles and the industry already, Ms Humes said. She was really interested in how we go about things and really understood the fabric weights and constructions... it was an amazing point to start from. We learn more from this Hello Rayo article. It must be amazing seeing the artwork go onto fabrics, she said. Do you know which customers then take this design on? It must be such a proud thing being able to see your artwork on the catwalk or in other people's collections. Hello, Rayo also reports, In a later conversation, with a fabric inspector at the business, Kate said: 'One of the things I'm really keen to do is support the creative industries and actually showcase how many amazing job opportunities there are for young people within manufacturing.' Another view. The visit was memorialized with a group photo. Following her time with employees, the Princess greeted crowds of well-wishers, including a group of schoolchildren. We return to the Hello Rayo piece. Afterwards Daniel Woodrow, headteacher at St Gregory Primary, said: I think you can tell from the children's smiles and from the fact they're still shaking a little bit now just what a special gesture it was for the princess to come over and see them and spend some really quality time with them asking them questions, listening to their answers. They're absolutely buzzing and I still have goosebumps that she came over and did that, I'm so happy for them that they had this experience today. School pupil Molly Broughton, 10, said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity, adding: I can't believe it happened. Here is a quick video via Suffolk's Greatest Hits Radio. #ThePrincessofWales spoke to students from St Gregory CEVCP Sudbury as she left The Sudbury Silk Mill pic.twitter.com/wvgP9RqcAR — Greatest Hits Radio Suffolk News (@GHRSuffolk) September 11, 2025 Below, the Princess is seen speaking with another well-wisher, Dorothy Wallis. The BBC story has more. It was quite a moment. I thought she'd quickly come, in fact I was surprised she even did, and then she got hold of my hand and arm. I thanked her for coming over and she said, 'No – thank you for coming'. The Princess then traveled to Marina Mill in Kent, another family-run business. The mill specializes in screen-printing fabrics for the interior design/home furnishings industry. We learn more from The Daily Mail's story. They supply dozens of royal homes - from Buckingham Palace to Clarence House to Highgrove, and even the Prince and Princess of Wales themselves - and are world- renowned for the quality of their fabrics, as well as the fact that they still do everything by hand. Rebecca English of The Daily Mail shared a video. The Princess of Wales is now at Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, a family business that specialises in hand designing and screen- printing furnishing fabrics. pic.twitter.com/iMawjW6udE — Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) September 11, 2025 More from Kent Online's coverage. The company operates with a small team of nine employees who produce fabrics using the traditional silk-screen method, and are all highly skilled in hand-printing, colour mixing and screen-making. Princess Kate, who was dressed in a grey tweed trouser suit, spent time with design director Tandine Rawkins, observing the creative processes before mucking in herself. Below, the Princess and Ms. Rawkins. The Princess started her visit in her jacket and trousers, with her hair down. But she soon shed the blazer. She then put her hair up before trying her hand at the screen-printing process. More from this People piece. Kate removed her suit jacket, donned an apron, and then — in a move that impressed many — effortlessly tied back her long hair without the use of a band, pin or clip. She simply twisted her locks into a bun at the nape of her neck before tucking the ends underneath to secure the simple style. A quick video. Just the Princess of Wales effortlessly putting her hair into a bun with no hair ties or clips at all today 💅 pic.twitter.com/N8Tai9HQPg — Belle (@RoyallyBelle_) September 11, 2025 Here you see the Princess as she tries printing. We learn more from The Daily Mail story. ...workers Sam and Adam showed her how to transfer the colour from the screen, which had been engraved with a stunning floral pattern, onto the fabric by pushing through the coloured dye using a squeegee. ‘It’s a real labour of love,’ she remarked. ‘Do you have to do things in a particular order?’ She leaned over and helped place the heavy screen on the table over the material and then waited as Adam pushed the squeegee towards her. She then picked it up half way and completed the sweep, before catching some more paint on it and pushing it back to him. Concentrating heavily, she asked a few questions about where she should place her hands and appeared delighted when she pulled it off without a mistake. She then helped Adam carry the screen down to the next segment of fabric, repeating the exercise three times. Reaction to the Princess's visit via Kent Online. Tandine, reflecting on the royal visit, said: She was amazing. She has an ability to make everyone feel at ease. Everyone was anxious but she makes you forget to be nervous. She was asking all the questions - she had done her research. Tandine revealed that when a representative from Kensington Palace called in June, I thought it was a hoax. Summing up the visit, she concluded: I'm really happy with how it went. Here is a video from Kensington Palace about the engagements. Celebrating creativity, skills and community in Suffolk and Kent. From weaving to hand-printing, a pleasure to see the joy of craftsmanship at the heart of the British textiles industry. pic.twitter.com/VtcGEfEmNm — The Prince and Princess of Wales (@KensingtonRoyal) September 11, 2025 Now, let's take a look at what Kate wore. We begin with her suit by British label Bella Freud. The tailored Earl Jacket ($533) is a single-breasted style done in a Prince of Wales check. The jacket is made of a wool/linen blend and features a slim cut, peaked lapels, and flap pockets. The Princess matched the jacket with Bella Freud's Schoolboy Trousers (£525, roughly $710 at today's exchange rates). They are a mid-rise design with a straight leg, belt loops, and side and back pockets. Both styles are currently sold out, but you can register to be notified if they are back in stock. Thank you to Mirela and Middleton Maven for this ID. Bella Freud is the daughter of painter Lucian Freud and the great-granddaughter of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. She launched her eponymous fashion label in 1990 and hosts a popular podcast, Fashion Neurosis. More about the designer from this New Yorker profile. In 1991, Freud won the New Generation Designer category at the British Fashion Awards. At the turn of the millennium, she designed several capsule collections for Jaeger, an old-school British label known for its camel-hair coats. More recently, she has created popular collections for Marks & Spencer, a British department store, with versions of her pussycat-bow blouses and slogan sweaters at a mass-market price point. But her own label has stayed small: she has a staff of around ten and only one boutique, in London’s Marylebone district. Middleton Maven suggests that beneath the jacket, the Princess wore a past-season Boden cashmere top similar to the current Eva Cashmere Tee ($149). It is a piece she has worn in the 'oatmeal' colorway. The Princess wore her 'Power' Pumps in black suede by Stuart Weitzman, a point-toe style with a 3.75 heel.
