Kate Middleton Walks Backwards in Stilettos While Getting Off a Fighter Jet — Like a Royal Pro

Clad in a tailored grey checkered pantsuit, the mom of three — who shares Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with husband Prince William — struck the perfect balance between military-inspired polish and modern sophistication. The blazer, cinched at the waist, accentuated her silhouette, while the slim-cut trousers gave a contemporary edge.

Kate opted for silver earrings with a blue diamond at the center and wore her signature bouncy blowout, tied back into a half-up, half-down ‘do.

During her visit, she got a close-up look at a Typhoon aircraft and got to sit in one while being given a tour of the new Typhoon Future Synthetic Training facility in Coningsby, England.

Her Royal Highness not only got a crash course about the station’s operational role, but also met Quick Reaction Alert personnel and families of people serving at the base, even sweetly getting down to eye level with children who were overjoyed to meet the Princess of Wales.

While on site, Kate revealed that Prince Louis wants to become a fighter pilot, according to People, stating, “I’m going to tell them it takes eight years and a lot of hard work.”

Kate recently treated her kids to a special afternoon out just days before her visit to RAF Coningsby, stopping by the set of the new Harry Potter TV series with her family.

According to the Daily Mail, Kate brought her three children to meet a few members of the cast and watch some scenes as the stars filmed the upcoming HBO show on September 26.

Kate has certainly returned to the royal fold and public eye following her cancer battle, announcing that she was in remission in January.

“[She’s] emphasizing her family and her well-being over [intense] duties,” an insider told Us Weekly in August. “It’s a decision that Kate and William made together.”

“They’ve established limits on what they will and will not do to protect their mental health and home life,” a second insider echoed. “While they take their responsibilities very seriously, they are not afraid to say no when necessary.”
