During the visit, they got a close-up look at a modern Typhoon jet and sat in the cockpit of a legendary Supermarine Spitfire, which flew D-Day missions with the RCAF’s No. 402 Squadron. They wrapped up the tour exploring a collection of historic World War II aircraft at the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight display.

For the occasion, the Princess debuted a new double-breasted Max Mara blazer in a jacquard-knit Glen plaid pattern. Crafted from a wool-cotton blend, the piece is currently on sale for $1,442 (down from $2,060).

She paired the sharp tailoring with a Joseph silk tank in ivory and Joseph "Coleman" trousers in cocoa.​

Completing the look were a pair of 'Angelis' loafers in cognac by Pretty Ballerinas, along with her signature Annoushka pearl and Kiki diamond hoop earrings.​

​UPDATE: Kate Middleton Style points out that the Princess wore a bracelet and suggests it could be a piece by Merci Maman. You may recall that Kate has previously worn a necklace from the brand.
