Kate has sent a fresh message of support to Victoria Beckham as the Princess of Wales attended a royal engagement.
The Princess of Wales stepped out in one of the pop icon’s suits as she visited the Home-Start Oxford to discuss how everyday moments of love and connection between parents and their young children lay the foundation for lifelong social and emotional skills.
In May 2025, Kate made a notable appearance at the British Fashion Council wearing an olive-green trouser suit by Victoria Beckham priced at £1,340.
According to Kensington Palace sources, her choice of the sharply tailored two-piece was intended to demonstrate support for British designers.

A source said regarding Kate’s decision to wear the suit: “It would have brought a smile to Victoria’s face.”
Kate’s subtle tribute in Oxford comes as Victoria Beckham’s new documentary was released today.
The self-titled three-episode project was released on Netflix this morning.
The Princess of Wales’s visit came as Home-Start UK prepares to roll out training based on The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood Explainer Series to their 9000-strong network of volunteers across all local Home-Starts.

The Explainer Series films are a key part of Kate and the Centre’s work to demonstrate how building social and emotional skills in the earliest years is crucial for healthier, happier outcomes in adulthood and for nurturing a more compassionate, loving society.
Home-Start is a national network of 175 local charities providing free, trusted, relational support for families in homes and communities across the UK.
Last year, Home-Start supported 60,000 families and over 76,000 children, helping parents and carers to feel connected and better able to navigate life challenges, while improving their wellbeing and capacity to provide nurturing care.
During the visit, Kate met with Home-Start Oxford’s volunteers and joined a training session where the volunteers viewed the films.

The Princess of Wales then joined a ‘Stay and Play’ session, where families connected with one another and accessed the support of skilled volunteers and staff, who are a key part of the Home-Start service.
These sessions offer a relaxed environment for families to build a network and engage with their children in a variety of activities, from dressing up and tea parties to making playdough and crafting.
Kate then had the opportunity to speak to parents who are being supported by Home-Start Oxford and hear about the challenges they are facing.
Founded in 1988, Home-Start Oxford works with families in Oxford and the centre and west of Oxfordshire, through volunteer home-visiting, one-to-one services, and group sessions.
