Kate Middleton radically changed her image due to her husband's joke

Well-known royal biographer Tom Quinn revealed interesting details about the Princess of Wales's fashion evolution in his new book "Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants." An excerpt from the work, published in The Times, sheds light on an amusing incident that became a turning point in Kate Middleton's style formation.

In the early days of their married life, Prince William was quite critical of his wife's fashion experiments. "Kate didn't immediately realize the full responsibility of wardrobe choices for a royal family member," notes the book's author.

Particularly noteworthy was an incident with one specific outfit that provoked a witty reaction from the prince. "William compared his wife's look to the result of running through a charity shop in a suit covered in super glue," writes Quinn. Notably, Kate herself took the joke with humor. This incident served as a catalyst for a complete wardrobe overhaul of the future Princess of Wales.
