\n\tOn Oct. 2, Kate Middleton<\/a> stepped out in a chic gray suit<\/a>, designed by Bella Freud, for an appearance at the Royal Air Force Coningsby in Lincolnshire, England. While the silhouette looks stunning on her, it\u2019s the color that is sparking conversation.<\/p>\n

\n\tApparently, some royal fans believe the Princess of Wales is sending Prince Harry<\/a> a message by wearing a gray suit. That might sound odd, but let\u2019s dial it back to the Princess Diana era. When she was married<\/a> to the then-Prince Charles, she referred to the royal staffers who always sided with her husband as the \u201cmen in gray suits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere was mistrust at the palace while Diana and Charles were married, and she believed they were complicit in covering up his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. Andrew Morton wrote about Diana\u2019s dilemma in the 1992 biography, Diana, Her True Story.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe enemy was my husband\u2019s department, because I always got more publicity,\u201d Diana told Morton.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe author wrote, \u201cNot only did she consider herself to be a prisoner trapped inside a bitterly unfulfilled marriage, she also felt shackled to a wholly unrealistic public image of her royal life to an unsympathetic royal system which was ruled, in her phrase, by the \u2018men in grey suits.\u2019 She felt disempowered both as a woman and as a human being.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith Harry battling against the royal staffers, who leaked the details<\/a> of his reunion with King Charles, there seems to be another round of \u201cmen in gray suits\u201d at work.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe relationship between the Duke and His Majesty The King is a matter for the two of them and the two of them only. The men in gray suits should stay out of it,\u201d a source told The Mail on Sunday<\/a> on Sept. 27.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, royal fans are noticing that Kate and even the monarch have been seen in gray suits this week. Is it a secret message to Harry that his plans to reconcile with his dad are being foiled? The royalists think so.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI particularly loved Princess Catherine in a grey suit. It is not her usual choice, but dayamn she did look fabulous,\u201d wrote<\/a> one account on X. \u201cThe message was loud and clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe BRF [British Royal Family<\/a>], the longest reigning monarchy in history, understands the power of clothing and color,\u201d added<\/a> another social media user.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe subtle signal might not be picked up by Harry, though. He\u2019s too busy living his best life in California, away from the politics of the palace.<\/p>\n
