Kensington Palace issues rare statement in defence of Princess Kate
Kensington Palace has issued a statement following reports that Kate Middleton was 'frustrated' by the focus on her fashion rather than her work
Kensington Palace has issued a statement amid the controversy surrounding the media's focus on Kate Middleton's fashion choices over her charity work. It was recently reported by The Times that the Palace would cease sharing details about Kate's outfits during Royal events, as the Princess prefers attention on her work rather than her attire.
It was reported that Kate finds it "frustrating and difficult" when her appearance overshadows her work. Since marrying Prince William in April 2011, Kensington Palace has traditionally disclosed what Kate wears for public appearances. However, a royal source told the publication: "There is an absolute feeling that it [the public work] 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.
Kensington Palace has issued a statement following reports that Kate Middleton was 'frustrated' by the focus on her fashion rather than her work"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."
This revelation left many Royal fans disheartened, with one commentator admitting his heart 'sank' upon hearing the news. However, a new statement from a Kensington Palace spokesperson clarified that no policy change has been made, reports the Mirror.
According to the Express, a spokesperson said: "Over the last week, I have received numerous questions about a story regarding The Princess of Wales's clothing and how Kensington Palace shares information about her outfits. To clarify, the comments that appeared in the article were from me, not The Princess of Wales.
It was recently reported that the Palace would cease sharing details about Kate's outfits during Royal events"The comments that were reported should not be directly attributed to The Princess of Wales." It continued: "To be clear, there has been no change in our approach to sharing information about Her Royal Highness's clothing."
Back in 2022, a close friend of the Princess opened up to the Sunday Times, expressing Kate's frustration when her fashion choices overshadowed her charitable work, saying: "When she goes to the Bond premiere or is at Trooping the Colour, of course she puts on the 'uniform' of the role. But what was enormously frustrating and difficult for her, especially in the early days, was she was going out and doing the work she was interested in and was hugely important to her, and people just talked about what she was wearing."
As a style icon, Kate's outfits can have a substantial impact on the fashion industry, with estimates suggesting that her endorsement is worth ÂŁ1 billion annually, as reported by Newsweek. Regardless of whether she's wearing recycled outfits, High Street brands, or glamorous gowns, her fashion influence consistently drives sales and sets trends.
Kate's style evolution has been quite remarkable over the years. Initially, she was known for her penchant for fitted floral dresses, but her fashion sense has since evolved, enhancing her style credentials even further. The mother of three now favours a chic tailored trouser suit, paired with a T-shirt or blouse and pointed court shoes.
Fashion experts believe that this shift in Kate's wardrobe signifies a new chapter in her Royal journey. Bethan Holt, fashion director at the Daily Telegraph, told PEOPLE magazine: "I think it marks a new era in her royal life," adding, "It shows her confidence is growing and that she's willing to take more risks and do something that might not have come naturally to her."
Holt further observed: "She's transforming before our eyes. She might not be able to say to us, 'Look, my life is now completely different, me and my husband are one step closer to the biggest job of his life,' but she is saying that through her fashion choices."
