Kate Middleton will no longer be sharing details of her outfits publicly, as she reassesses her priorities.
Known for her sophisticated and elegant fashion choices, the Princess of Wales has decided to stop revealing her outfit details, according to a source from Kensington Palace.
After gradually returning to her public duties following cancer treatment, Kate is said to have a “new perspective on everything,” noting how much she now values the “simple yet important things in life.”
In an interview with Sky News, former British Vogue editor-in-chief, Alexandra Shulman, spoke about the Princess’s decision to keep her fashion choices private. She said: “[There is a] reassessment of her priorities for the time being.”
“When people have gone through what she’s gone through, they should be entitled to be seen how they want to be seen…with a serious mission – not where the focus is on her clothes.”
It has been revealed that the reason Kate is no longer sharing details of her outfits is to refocus attention on her work.
A source from Kensington Palace told The Sunday Times that they will no longer be disclosing Kate’s fashion choices for the time being.
They explained: “There is an absolute feeling that it is not about what the princess is wearing.”
“She wants the focus to be on the really important issues, the people and the causes she is spotlighting.”
And although the 43-year-old Princess understands that “there will always be an appreciation” of her clothing “from some of the public,” she hopes her fashion choices will become less of a focus.
The source added: “Do we need to be officially always saying what she is wearing? No. The style is there but it’s about the substance.”
One of Kate’s priorities this year will be the launch of her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which focuses on helping people improve their ‘social and emotional’ skills for better mental health.
In a statement, Kate said: “Modern society is complex. At times, it can feel like the world is filled with mistrust and misunderstanding, leaving many people feeling isolated and vulnerable during difficult times.”
She added: “If we are to address this properly, if we are to find real, lasting solutions to these deep-rooted challenges and create a physically and mentally healthier society, we must reset, restore, and rebalance. We must invest in humankind.”
