Princess of Wales has reportedly taken a different approach to her Royal Family duties in the wake of her cancer diagnosis and remission.
Princess Kate Middleton’s fashion strategy has been described as “confusing” but “intentional” by a style expert. The Princess of Wales has reportedly taken a different approach to her Royal Family duties in the wake of her cancer diagnosis and remission.
Kate is implementing a deliberately understated wardrobe strategy. Fashion experts have noted her embrace of darker, more muted tones in recent appearances, which are a far cry from her older, more vibrant colour schemes.
According to The Telegraph, this wardrobe strategy is “intentional”. Fashion expert Tamara Abraham explained: “The Bears Jeremy Allen White, Daniel Radcliffe, the Harry Potter actor, and Katy Perry have all worn similar outfits day after day to make any paparazzi photographs of them less interesting and sellable.”

In an article published on 1 February, the Sunday Times reported that the palace would no longer confirm details about Kate’s outfits during her public appearances, as they have routinely done in the past. “There is an absolute feeling that [the public work] is not about what the princess is wearing,” a spokesman told the Times.
“She wants the focus to be on the really important issues, the people and the causes she is spotlighting. There will always be an appreciation of what the princess is wearing from some of the public and she gets that.
“But do we need to be officially always saying what she is wearing? No. The style is there but it’s about the substance.” The palace addressed the controversy in a statement released to People on 11 February.
“Over the last week, I have received numerous questions about a story regarding the Princess of Wales’ clothing and how Kensington Palace shares information about her outfits,” a spokesperson said. “To clarify, the comments that appeared in the article were from me, not the Princess of Wales.
“The comments that were reported should not be directly attributed to the Princess of Wales. To be clear, there has been no change in our approach to sharing information about Her Royal Highness’s clothing.”
