The spotlight will be on King Charles III, his reign, essential charity works, and nothing else.
It has been reported many times before that King Charles was frustrated that his late ex-wife, Princess Diana, and Kate Middleton upstaged him with their glamorous and captivating sense of fashion and style.
The King has come up with an unfashionable plan to straighten out the matter once in for all.
The Palace has confirmed that details about Kate Middleton’s clothes, crowns, shoes, jewelry, and bags will no longer be released to the media or the public.
Palace officials revealed that they might make an exception for an important and high-profile event like the coronation ceremony or state dinner.
According to Express, the Palace will share the details of the Princess of Wales’s outfits for an “overseas visit where she is deploying fashion diplomacy by wearing items designed in the host nation.”
It is believed that the same drastic rules will apply when it comes to the outfits that Camilla, Queen Consort, will wear.
Express noted: “Kensington Palace officials have begun refusing to give details on Kate’s outfits amid frustration that so much media coverage is focused on what she wears.”
Aides to Prince William’s wife added that fashion experts would manage to figure out what she is wearing, but they “will no longer officially confirm or deny the details.”
Some royal observers believe that King Charles, who is wise with money, does not want the spotlight on Middleton’s expensive wardrobe while the English people are facing tough economic times.
Others claimed the new King is taking measures not to be outshined by the ladies in his family.
The move might leave a sour taste in Prince William’s mouth because he is very protective of his wife’s happiness and is not afraid to let her shine on red carpets and official engagements.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl wrote in her new book, The New Royals, via Entertainment Tonight: “Her (Princess Diana’s) star immediately eclipsed her husband’s, causing early fractures in their relationship. The diligent, sensitive, and status-conscious Charles found it hard to understand. He could not see that in the new media age, being a royal-born prince and future King was a lesser currency than his wife’s megawatt beauty and disposition.”
King Charles was bothered by the fact that the media chose to obsess over Middleton’s fashion instead of his foundations.
The author added: “In the past, father and son hadn’t always seen eye to eye. There was a well-documented clash of opinions in 2013 over the Palace’s priceless collection of ivory, for one. And Charles was sometimes irritated that Kate’s frocks got more media attention than his good works. He also had been hurt by not seeing as much of his Cambridge grandchildren as he might have liked.”
King Charles will not be able to completely dim the light on royal fashion — many of the outfits worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Diana, and Kate Middleton’s elegant wedding dress “have formed the centerpieces of palace exhibitions used to entice the public to pay to visit royal residences.”
So in an odd twist, the royal women’s fashion does contribute to the King’s massive wealth.
Many, who love Kate Middleton’s classy and simple fashion sense, say the decision is petty and unnecessary.
