It’s always a treat to see the royals out and about but what’s sometimes even more fascinating is what they wear. It’s no surprise that they’ll tailor their outfits to match the event, like when Kate Middleton wore French designer Dior during a French State Visit or Queen Camilla’s symbolic brooches. But the royal who recently caught my eye because of his outfit? Prince William.

The Prince of Wales, 43, marked 60 years of the London Ambulance headquarters in Waterloo on October 17, 2025, in London, England. While there, he spoke to members of staff, paramedics and other front-line workers—and he did it all in his signature classic navy suit. For this outing, he paired it with a light blue shirt, maroon tie, matching pants and brown suede-looking shoes.

While a navy suit is nothing out of the ordinary for Prince William, it did come right after a style switch-up.

The Prince of Wales recently had a jam-packed day of engagements in Northern Ireland with wife Kate Middleton, 43. They stopped by the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service’s brand-new Learning and Development College in Cookstown, then visited Mallon Farm and wrapped the day with some very fall-forward activities at Long Meadow Cider.

Photos taken at Long Meadow show Prince William wearing something a little different for once: a brown jacket instead of his usual navy one.

And in case you needed even more proof that a navy suit is truly his default, just one day before that Northern Ireland trip, during a visit to RAF Benson, he was back in his classic look: navy suit, white shirt, red tie, black shoes. A few days before that, when William stepped out with his father King Charles? Same formula: navy suit, white shirt, blue patterned tie and black shoes.

You know what they say—if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
