Princess Kate Middleton is making a significant change in her public image, setting herself apart from Meghan Markle with a new focus on her royal duties.

According to a royal insider, the Princess of Wales will no longer disclose details about her outfits during public appearances. This marks a major shift in royal tradition, emphasizing substance over style.

As Kate, 43, gradually returns to her royal engagements following her cancer treatment, this decision reflects her commitment to spotlighting her charitable work and public service rather than her fashion choices.

“The focus is no longer on what the Princess is wearing,” a Kensington Palace source revealed to *The Sunday Times*.

For years, Kate Middleton’s elegant style has influenced fashion trends, boosting sales for British designers such as Jenny Packham and LK Bennett. Despite her fashion influence, Kate has never financially invested in the brands she wears, maintaining a clear distinction between her role as a royal and commercial interests.

This approach stands in contrast to Meghan Markle, who has strategically used her fashion choices as a business venture. The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly invested in several brands she publicly supports, telling *The New York Times* that she prefers “smaller, up-and-coming” labels, often backing them financially.

This strategy, known as "the Meghan effect," has proven highly profitable. For instance, her Strathberry handbag sold out within 11 minutes after she was seen carrying it at a public event.

While Meghan capitalizes on her style, Kate Middleton is embracing sustainability and simplicity. She frequently recycles outfits, recently re-wearing a classic Zara houndstooth dress, demonstrating her preference for timeless fashion over fleeting trends.

This shift highlights Kate Middleton’s evolving role within the royal family, prioritizing purpose and philanthropy over style statements.
