Kate Middleton has made waves by challenging long-standing royal protocols
during recent public engagements, hinting at a potential shift in the monarchy's
traditional approach.
The Princess of Wales recently breached established royal norms on two
occasions. First, she diverged from the customary royal hairstyle by opting
for a casual low bun while wearing a red Zara blazer during her visit to a
sensory development class in Kent on September 27th.
Moreover, Kate openly discussed her struggles with a rare health condition,
hyperemesis gravidarum, during her pregnancy in a conversation with Steve
Ikebuwa, a father of a special needs child.
Traditionally, royal hair must be maintained in a neat and natural style,
which could involve either leaving it open or tying it into a ponytail.
Additionally, it has been suggested that the late Queen Elizabeth preferred
not to discuss pregnancies explicitly and favored the euphemism "in the family
way."
Kate's recent departures from these norms reflect a subtle rebellion and potentially foreshadow a new era for the monarchy—one that is less beholden to archaic rules and more open to modern practices. This shift could signify a monarchy that is increasingly in touch with the changing values and expectations of society.
