She may be the future queen consort, but for almost two years now, the Duchess of Cambridge has arguably been overshadowed by her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Sussex.
But now that Meghan and Harry have stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family and will be spending most of their time in Canada, Kate has come into her own and her confidence is soaring.
Far from crumbling under the pressure, royal experts are now describing her and Prince William as the ‘perfect pair’ to keep the Royal Family afloat after Harry and Meghan’s bombshell decision…
Bold fashion choices
In recent weeks, Kate has shunned her plain, conservative outfits in favour of more adventurous prints and colours, such as leopard print and sequins.
And stylist Susie Hasler says that Kate’s eye-catching clothing choices represent a fresh start. ‘Choosing bold and eye-catching patterns is definitely a more daring choice for the duchess and it represents just how much her confidence has developed,’ she says.
‘Wearing patterns is a sign of self-assurance – and Kate can carry off everything, from edgy animal print, royal houndstooth, florals and chevrons.
‘She seems to have really come into her own this year and found a new sense of confidence.’
