The Princess of Wales showcased a Blazé Milano jacket during her visit to the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) with her family.
The Wales children accompanied their parents to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, taking a break from school for the summer holidays.
The event is the largest military airshow globally and serves as a fundraiser for the RAF Charitable Trust, which supports the RAF and fosters interest in aviation among youth. Below, Prince George is seen greeting an airman.
For those interested, the term “military tattoo” originates from the 17th-century Dutch phrase “doe den tap toe,” meaning “turn off the tap,” signaling innkeepers to stop serving beer to soldiers so they could return to their barracks.
The day was chilly and damp, prompting recommendations for warm, waterproof clothing and appropriate footwear. The family’s first stop was the massive C-17 Globemaster that transported the late Queen’s coffin from Scotland to England.
Many will recall the somber day when the Queen’s coffin was flown back to London. Below, the scene in Edinburgh last September.
The C-17 Globemaster III, which played a pivotal role in the Queen’s final journey, is a highlight of the show. Around 180,000 visitors are expected at RAF Fairford. The aircraft’s loadmaster expressed pride in their role in the solemn event.
Today, Prince William introduced the children to an information board inside the C-17.
Prince Louis examined the information closely.

She interacted with Air Cadets and discussed their aspirations, including a team planning to row across the Atlantic.
The Princess also met with winners of the “Road to RIAT” competition, where students designed sustainable gliders and rockets.
Today’s fashion spotlight was on the Princess’s Blazé Milano jacket, known for its distinctive design and the brand’s commitment to recognizable, stylish outerwear.
The Princess paired the jacket with Lulu Pointed Flats by Emmy London and accessorized with Sézane ‘Bruna’ earrings and a Daniella Draper Citrine Baby Treasure Necklace.
