Princess Kate: The palace no longer reveals that

There is apparently a change of course in the British royal family: In the future, no details of the outfits of Princess Kate (43) will be announced in public appearances. After her cancer treatment, the 43-year-old is currently gradually returning to her royal duties and apparently wishes that her work gets more attention than her wardrobe.

“There is an absolute conviction that public work is not about what the princess is wearing,” the “Times” quotes a palace source. Kate wants to focus on the “really important topics” as well as the people and concerns for which she is committed.

According to the “Times”, the decision could be directly related to Kate’s cancer. She had made the diagnosis public in March 2024. In September she announced that she had completed chemotherapy. In a video message, the mother of triple also mentioned that the disease gave her “a new perspective on everything”.

The concentration of the media on their wardrobe, for Kate, who has been married to the British heir to the throne Prince William (42) since 2011, has been a nuisance for a long time. “It was extremely frustrating and difficult for her, especially in the early days when she went out and did the work that she was interested in and who was incredibly important to her, and the people only talked about what she was wearing,” revealed a close girlfriend in 2022 The Princess of the “Sunday Times”.

However, the palace is said not to be completely foregoing fashion information. With important family and state occasions, details on significant outfits or jewelry of the princess should continue to be communicated, according to the “Times”. In other public appearances by Kate, however, this should no longer happen.

Does the “Kate effect” also disappear with the change of course? The labels of the clothes and jewelry that the princess wears can often look forward to increasing sales in the relevant pieces after her appearances.
