Royal experts and fans have started to notice Kate Middleton’s penchant for wearing a pair of black trousers, a smart top, and a long coat. Could this be the Duchess’ new uniform? And what is the significance behind her choice of colours?
Samantha continued: “I think the trouser look says ‘confident and ready for business’.
“And ready for business is certainly something she and William need to be right now.”
The personal stylist here referred to the Royal Family’s unwanted press attention this year, particularly following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview at the beginning of the year and, more recently, the airing of the new BBC documentary, The Princes and the Press.
Samantha added: “This has not been a good year for the Royal Family.
DON’T MISS:
“Prince Andrew, the Oprah interview, now the fall-out of the BBC documentary.
“At a time when the Queen is stepping away from public life due to her age and health, the pressure is really on.”
Samantha claimed the colours Kate wears for public engagements are carefully chosen and even help her cope with this pressure.
Interestingly, the Duchess opted for pink outfits after the broadcasting of two difficult programmes for the Royal Family to watch, or be a part of – the Oprah interview and the BBC documentary.
Back in March, the day after the release of the Oprah interview, Kate stepped out in a pale pink ensemble.
Meanwhile, last week, the Duchess wore a deep fuchsia-pink outfit the day after the BBC documentary was aired.
Samnatha said: “In colour psychology, pink says kindness, compassion and nurturing.
“After a bit of unwanted publicity, it is possible that Kate chose to wear pink – whether consciously or subconsciously – because she wants to portray these qualities.
“Kate seems to be wearing much bolder colours of late, and this is like what the Queen does in public – she knows people are there to see her, so she wants to make sure they can.
“Bright colours also say ‘confidence’ – it could be a way of portraying safety.
“Saying, ‘yes the Queen is stepping back, yes it’s not been the best year for the Royal Family, but don’t worry, you’re in safe hands with me’.”
The fashion expert added: “Whatever is going on behind closed doors, Kate is totally professional in public.
“She’s always smiling, interested and enthusiastic.”
