Their statement read: “Over the last week, I have received numerous questions about a story regarding The Princess of Wales’s clothing and how Kensington Palace shares information about her outfits.

“To clarify, the comments that appeared in the article were from me, not The Princess of Wales. The comments that were reported should not be directly attributed to The Princess of Wales.”

For many years, the Palace have been releasing details about Kate’s outfits on special occasions, but not for day-to-day engagements as they wanted the focus to be on her work.
