Kate Middleton will no longer make her outfit details publicly known, as she makes a 'reassessment' of her priorities.
The Princess of Wales has always been known for her classy and elegant style choices, but she will no longer be sharing her outfit details publicly, according to a Kensington Palace source.
Since making a slow return to public duties following her cancer treatment, Kate reportedly has a 'new perspective on everything', and has noted how much she appreciates the 'simple yet important things in life'.
Speaking to Sky News, former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Alexandra Shulman, commented on the Princess' decision to no longer share fashion details.

She said: "[There is a] reassessment of her priorities for the time being.
"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."
It has been made known that the reason Kate is no longer sharing outfit details is to shift the focus onto her work.
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."
And while the Princess, 43, knows that 'there will always be an appreciation' of what she is wearing 'from some of the public', she would like her fashion choices to become less of the focus.
The source added: "Do we need to be officially always saying what she is wearing? No. The style is there but it's about the substance."
One of Kate's focuses for the year will be the launch of her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.
It is focused on developing people's '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."
