Although Kate Middleton is better known for her pretty dresses and colourful skirt suits, she has started to wear trousers on regular basis over the last few years.
But it seems as though there's a genuine reason for the Duchess's style choice. It turns out Kate Middleton has a large scar on her hair line, on the left side of her head. This scar has only ever been photographed once in the media, in 2011 when her hair was pulled back from her face.
"You never see a royal without their nude stockings," Arbiter previously told Insider. "I would say that's really the only hard, steadfast rule in terms of what the Queen requires." Meier added that British royals typically follow that guideline while "performing their royal duties in their professional roles."
It turns out, rewearing outfits is a do for the royals. Naturally, Kate's sartorial history is jam-packed with some outstanding outfit repeats from her rewearing of the christening outfits that she had made for her childrens' big days and even repeating coats that she is rumored to have designed herself.
The world's most desirable female face has the Duchess of Cambridge's nose, according to a formula based on women's requests to cosmetic surgeons. A composite image of the face has been created from more than 1,000 requests to Dr Julian De Silva, a Harley Street specialist, over a decade.
According to Australian site Honey, this very formal tradition stems from a simple matter of etiquette: it's not considered ladylike for a woman of the Duchess's status to remove their clothing in public, regardless of how smart or situation-appropriate the outfit underneath might be.
Kate isn't allowed to vote in general elections and she must wear hats to formal events.
Sometimes she'll recycle outfits from years ago. (We'd love to know how many palace rooms are occupied by Kate's old clothing.) Still, even when she does rewear an outfit, she usually changes her accessories or shoes or some other detail to make the second look stand out.
The reason why Kate Middleton always wears a clutch has been revealed and apparently, it's used as a way to prevent any unwanted handshakes. Although the reason might surprise you, this particular theory comes from royal etiquette expert Myka Meier so we're inclined to believe it.

While Middleton has donned red toe polish on several occasions, she's never worn dark colors on her hands, choosing to go with a clear or nude manicure, or in many cases, no polish at all.
While it remains unknown whether there is a reason behind Kate's choice to go polish-free in public, she has frequently been spotted biting her nails during public appearances over the years, which could possibly explain why she prefers a natural nail.
While Kate has never revealed it, multiple outlets have claimed she is a British size six, or an American size two, with a 24-inch waistline. Her weight has remained roughly the same since her 2011 marriage to Prince William, as she still recycles the same outfits today that she wore back then.

As much as we love Kate Middleton's formalwear, she also looks flawlessly stylish in more casual outfits.
Royals do not accept free clothes, so neither Kate nor Meghan ever receive gifted outfits. Kate's stylist, Archer, will often call in designer items on loan but they will then be returned.
To prevent her feet from slipping out of her heels, Meier said Kate wears non-slip tights from John Lewis, a high-end department store in the UK. The sheer stockings retail for £6, or around $6.38, and feature gel strips on the bottom of each foot that grip to the soles of shoes.

These greetings, however, often depend on a royal's rank. All royals are expected to bow or curtsy to the sovereign and his wife, King Charles and Queen Camilla. Since he ascended to the throne, Prince William and Princess Kate have been seen formally greeting the monarch with a bow and curtsy on multiple occasions.
The monarch isn't a fan of a deep bath either, she is said to bathe in “no more than seven inches of water”, according to royal author Brian Hoey for the Daily Mail. Seven inches is equivalent to 17.8 centimetres.
The Duchess reportedly regularly opts to blend together kale, spinach, romaine, spirulina (a type of algae) and blueberries. At lunchtime, Kate is said to fill her plate with plenty of raw ingredients - with watermelon salad with avocado, onions, cucumbers, and feta cheese said to be one of her go-to meals.
Underneath her ceremonial robes, Kate wore a dress by Alexander McQueen (who was behind her 2011 wedding gown) in ivory silk crepe with silver bullion and thread work embroidery featuring rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs to signify the four nations of the U.K.
It wasn't until 2019 that Kate first wore shorts in public as a member of the royal family. That was also for a charity sailing race, with her sea-friendly outfit also consisting of New Balance sneakers and a baseball cap.
“She has simply been trained to always keep her chin parallel to the ground. She doesn't tilt it down, she doesn't tilt it up—and that ensures a flattering photograph every single time.”
