She has developed a fondness for polka-dot tea dresses over more formal attire like trouser suits.

Kate's fashion choices also reflect diplomacy, often paying homage to national flags, flowers, or scenery.

Kate has made some strange fashion choices, like going to the BAFTAs in 2022 wearing black opera gloves.

The press closely scrutinizes Kate's clothing choices, trying to decipher their hidden meanings.

Kate wants the spotlight on her philanthropic work, not her clothes.

Kate's style balances heritage with new trends to produce a timeless look.
