Kate Middleton often receives a lot of praise for her style choices, however, she will no longer share her outfit details publicly because of a specific reason.
A Kensington Palace source confirmed this week that the Princess of Wales has made a change as she starts a slow return to public duties following her cancer treatment. According to a Kensington Palace source, Middleton reportedly has a ‘new perspective on everything’ and has noted how much she appreciates the ‘simple yet important things in life’.
Former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, commented on Kate’s decision to no longer share fashion details.

"When people have gone through what she's gone through, they should be entitled to be seen how they want to be seen...with a serious mission - not where the focus is on her clothes,” she told Sky News.
The reason behind Middleton’s decision stems from her wanting the public to focus on charitable causes, rather than her outfits.
A Kensington Palace source told The Sunday Times it will stop revealing details of Kate's fashion choices for the foreseeable future.
They said: "There is an absolute feeling that it is not about what the princess is wearing.

"She wants the focus to be on the really important issues, the people and the causes she is spotlighting."
Middleton is apparently aware that her fans and followers adore reading about all the details regarding her outfits, but she now wants to shift their focus.
“There will always be an appreciation of what the princess is wearing from some of the public and she gets that. But do we need to be officially always saying what she is wearing? No,” the source explained. “The style is there but it’s about the substance.”

One of the initiatives Middleton is supporting this year is the launch of the Royal Foundation for Early Childhood, which focuses on helping people develop their ‘social and emotional’ skills for better mental health.
In a statement, Kate said: "Modern society is complex. At times, it can feel like the world is filled with mistrust and misunderstanding, leaving many people feeling isolated and vulnerable during difficult times."
She added: "If we are to address this properly, if we are to find real, lasting solutions to these deep-rooted challenges and create a physically and mentally healthier society, we must reset, restore, and rebalance. We must invest in humankind."
