Princess of Wales prepares for royal return as debate over outfit policy unfolds
Kensington Palace swiftly intervened to protect Catherine after a statement regarding a new protocol for her upcoming engagements sparked public debate.
The Princess of Wales, known for her elegant style and thoughtful fashion choices, has been gradually returning to public duties following a nine-month cancer battle. However, a recent announcement regarding her outfit details caused a stir.
A Palace spokesperson initially stated that Catherine’s fashion choices would no longer be publicly disclosed to keep the focus on her work. The statement led to backlash from royal watchers and fashion enthusiasts, prompting a clarification that the decision did not come from the Princess herself.
“There’s a huge feeling amongst not just the royal family but also within all the people that work for them, that Kate can do no wrong, so of course everyone is appalled that she’s even being questioned over this,” a source told InTouch Weekly.
The insider further noted that if Catherine wishes to share details about her outfits, the Palace will fully support her decision. If she prefers to keep them private, they will “absolutely back her.”
The controversy comes as Catherine prepares to resume public duties following a holiday with William and their children, marking another step in her gradual return to royal engagements.
