Queen in training! Duchess Kate’s style has been heavily influenced by Queen Elizabeth II, according to royal expert Bethan Holt.
“Many of the things that we see the Duchess of Cambridge doing today are things that she’s learned from the queen,” the Queen: 70 Years of Majestic Style author recently told Us Weekly exclusively.
Holt explained that the duchess, 40, uses color and “different symbols to send messages” similar to how the monarch, 96, has done with her wardrobe for decades.
“A lot of Kate’s love of skirts came from the queen,” the author told Us, noting that Her Majesty is “famously” known for not being “keen on women wearing trousers so much.”
While Kate, who is married to Elizabeth’s grandson Prince William, has “veered away” from wearing skirts or dresses on most occasions, she has still “taken a lot of tips from the queen,” Holt added.
“The new generation [of royals] … they’re very conscious of the queen’s legacy,” the Duchess of Cambridge: A Decade of Modern Royal Style author explained, pointing out that Kate’s wardrobe has been “inspired” by the queen.
Even though Elizabeth, who has been sitting on the British throne for 70 years, doesn’t always wear designer outfits, Holt noted that she has become an “example of someone who has crafted a look that is entirely her own.”
The royal matriarch can be recognized “from a mile off” because she “doesn’t look like anyone else,” the expert said. “She does her own thing. She sticks to it.”
Holt told Us that both Kate and Meghan Markle, who is married to Prince Harry, took note from their grandmother-in-law when it comes to repurposing ensembles.
“She has worn, like, thousands of outfits. I can’t even put a number on it because it’s just phenomenal the number of outfits,”
