A new statement has been released regarding the reporting of the Princess of Wales’s clothes.
On Tuesday morning, a Kensington Palace spokesperson clarified in a brief statement that there has been no policy change, despite recent reporting suggesting otherwise.
Their statement read:
“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.

It continued: “To be clear, there has been no change in our approach to sharing information about Her Royal Highness’s clothing.”
For many years, the Palace have been releasing details about Kate’s outfits on special occasions, but not for day-to-day engagements as they wanted the focus to be on her work.

Kate’s recent London engagement
Last week, Princess Kate paid a visit to the National Portrait Gallery with a group of school pupils from All Souls CE Primary School in London. Together they explored The Bobeam Tree Trail, which is based on work by her Royal Foundation for Early Childhood.

Children were asked to help the tree by discovering the stories of people depicted in the artworks – exploring facial expressions, listening to audio recordings and using props.
