'I was a Buckingham Palace housekeeper - Kate had the same morning habit'
Princess Kate always looks effortlessly chic, and it seems her morning routine plays a big role in helping her to achieve this look.
Despite her busy life, the Princess of Wales consistently exudes poise and composure. A former royal household staffer has revealed that the Princess's simple yet effective morning routine plays a significant role in her polished appearance.
Anne Simmons, who spent over 12 years working in the royal residences, attributes Kate's radiant look to her well-organised and uncomplicated daily routine.

In an interview with Edit Suits, Anne explained: "She's incredibly organised. There's no chaos, no luxury overload-just a handful of carefully chosen steps that she clearly trusts."
The former cleaner disclosed that Kate's routine involves a single hair product, a natural moisturiser, and a moment of solitude before the day's activities begin.
Anne stressed that the key to Kate's successful routine lies in its consistency, stating: "There weren't dozens of serums or constant new products. Her routine didn't change. That's why it works."

To prepare for a busy day, Kate starts by splashing her face with cold water, a simple technique that reduces puffiness and boosts circulation, leaving her skin looking refreshed without relying on serums or creams. Anne, a close associate of Kate Middleton, has revealed that the royal uses Argan oil in her hair every morning, reports the Express.
She said: "She kept a bottle of The Ordinary's 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil on the counter. She'd work a little through the ends of her hair after brushing."

Like many women, moisturising is an essential part of Kate's morning routine. However, Anne shared a surprising secret - instead of a high-end brand, Kate prefers a more natural alternative.
While she didn't disclose the exact brand used by the princess, Anne mentioned: "Kate's moisturiser wasn't a flashy luxury brand. It was in a simple white tube-very understated."
Another crucial aspect of Kate's morning routine is taking a moment of tranquillity before starting her day. "She'd often sit by the window with a cup of tea for five minutes. No phone, just silence," Anne revealed.

To complete her morning routine, Kate applies minimal makeup, usually opting for some concealer and a touch of blush rather than a full face of makeup.
