Princess Kate tipped to 'meet public expectations' as she ramps up royal duties

In September, the mother-of-three announced she had finished her course of chemotherapy, which saw the royal begin a gradual return to public life.

Last week, Kate made her first public outing when she met bereaved family members of the Southport stabbing victims.

Style expert Mimi Nguyen exclusively spoke to GB News to explain the princess's likely style choices as she steps out on more royal engagements.

She said: "Given her reputation for elegantly combining luxury designers with high-street brands, we can anticipate her continuing with this style strategy.

"I imagine for formal events, we’ll continue to see her donning brands like Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham as the likely first choices."

When Kate stepped out in Southport last week, the princess wore a stunning brown Alexander McQueen coat.

She paired the garment with a polka-dot dress from the brand Whistles.

Nguyen continued: "I also have a strong feeling that more accessible choices like Zara, Reiss, and LK Bennett will find a place in her daily wardrobe.

"As far as I have seen, Kate’s style has always reflected her royal status while staying approachable.

"So as she returns to the public eye, I expect her wardrobe will exude that perfect blend of classic elegance with practical modernism, completed with sustainable choices.

"I definitely see her combining these elements to match the current global fashion trends and public expectations."

Princess Kate is being tipped to attend two engagements in December - her Christmas Carol Concert and the Royal Family gathering at Sandringham.

When the 42-year-old announced she had completed her chemotherapy, she revealed she was hoping to perform a few duties in the coming months.
