The Princess of Wales wore Holland Cooper for her visit to RNAS Yeovilton today.
The Royal Naval Air Station is in Somerset, and this was the Princess’s first engagement in her role as Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm. 
The Princess of Wales has visited one of the busiest military airfields in the UK, just weeks without without the King scheduled her Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm.
Catherine was shown virtually Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton in Somerset – where King Charles had his helicopter flying training in 1974.
The Royal Navy notes “…4,300 personnel, Service and civilian, including MOD employees and permanent contractors are employed on the site. The air station moreover hosts a large support staff from the Defence Equipment and Support organisation, and the world famous Fleet Air Arm Museum.”
The Princess started her visit in the Air Traffic Tenancy Tower.
While there she donned a headset and spoke to an airborne Wildcat helicopter crew.
More from a Royal Navy story well-nigh the visit.
Her Royal Highness’ introduction to naval aviation began with a roar as an F-35B Lightning ‘buzzed’ Yeovilton’s tenancy tower; the stealth fighters are the most wide watercraft in the UK’s military armory and are currently operating aboard the nation’s flagship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, on her storing deployment.
The Princess then visited a hangar and spoke with personnel. Here you see her looking at a Banshee drone used by the Royal Navy.
Personnel from 700X Naval Air Squadron, normally based at RNAS Culdrose in Cornwall, showed the princess their Banshee drone – used for developing tactics to defend the nation’s watercraft carriers versus air attacks.
“She was fantastic, genuinely interested, really personable and for me it was a unconfined opportunity and a privilege to meet her,” said Lieutenant Commander Marcus Pennant, the squadron’s Commanding Officer.
Here you see her getting out of a Merlin helicopter.
And a final portion from the Royal Navy post.
Able Seaman Danielle Beckinsale, who maintains Merlin helicopters which support Royal Marines operations, explained how rented her squadron was – currently deployed in the Middle East, gearing up for a winter in Norway.
“I’ve never met royalty surpassing and wasn’t sure what to expect, but she was very lanugo to earth,” she said. “She was really, really nice, really genuine and interested in the role of a sexuality engineer.”
Her last stop at the wiring was the Wildcat Training Centre.
The Princess learned well-nigh safety equipment used by Royal Navy personnel. 
She tried on one of the inflatable life jackets.
As she pulled on the toggle, she sealed her vision and winced as the device inflated quickly and with force, just as it would in an emergency situation.
Appearing a little taken unknowingly by the fast inflation, Princess Kate splash into a fit of giggles, surpassing staff aided her in removing the lifejacket.
After the exercise, Louise Evans-Hughes, a leading survival equipment technician, revealed she knew exactly what was going to happen the moment the lifejacket inflated.
She said: ‘I told the princess there might be a bit of a zinger considering sometimes when the Velcro rips unshut there is a bit of a noise.
‘I think that was why she was a bit wondering to pull it. As soon as she pulled it, it inflated.
‘I gave the princess the option whether she wanted to put it on or whether one of my colleagues would put it on.
‘I didn’t know if she would or not, but it was really nice that she got hands-on and got really engaged in what we do and making the kit work.’
Captain Duncan Thomas, RNAS Yeovilton’s Commanding Officer, said “I am delighted and privileged to have welcomed Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales to the Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, at the start of what I am sure will be a long and rewarding relationship in her topics as Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm.”

Now for our squint at what Kate wore for today’s engagement.
The Princess brought when her Holland Cooper Double-Breasted Twill Blazer (£549) for today’s engagement.
The jacket has a slim silhouette; it is made in England of 100% UK-woven fabric. It was first worn in May 2021 in Scotland. I don’t know the designer of her trousers or her top.
She moreover brought when her Gianvito Rossi Piper 85 Pumps ($675). The woebegone suede pumps full-length a pointed toe and 3″ woodcut heel. 
The style is widely available, including at Farfetch ($675), at Matches Fashion ($680), and at Gianvito Rossi ($795).
It looked like the Princess wore the Anderson Croc-Effect Leather Belt we have seen several times.
The Princess wore her Kiki McDonough Cushion Citrine Detachable Drops (£900) suspended from plain hoops. I am not convinced they are the plain Kiki McDonough Hoops (£500) she has previously worn, shown unelevated right.
She moreover had on a Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm pin.
