Prince William has always been Kate Middleton’s biggest supporter, but his role once extended to fashion adviser when he helped her avoid a major style blunder. Before she became a global fashion icon, the Princess of Wales nearly wore an outfit that William found completely unsuitable.
According to a royal aide who spoke to The Times of London, Kate once purchased an outfit that William deemed “inappropriate” for a senior royal. His reaction? A brutally honest but humorous remark: “You look as if you’ve just run through a charity shop covered in superglue.”
Rather than taking offense, Kate laughed along with him. The source revealed that everyone in the room found William’s comment amusing, including Kate herself. This playful dynamic has always been a strong part of their relationship.
William has often praised Kate’s lighthearted nature. During their 2010 engagement interview, he even said, “She’s got a really naughty sense of humor, which really helps me because I’ve got a really dirty sense of humor.” Their ability to joke with each other is one of the reasons they remain a strong couple.
While Kate has since perfected her royal wardrobe, the early years came with a learning curve. Now, her carefully curated outfits reflect a balance of elegance, tradition, and modern fashion trends. She is often seen supporting British designers and influencing global fashion with her choices.
This revelation about William’s fashion intervention comes as the couple has left the U.K. for a much-needed family vacation. Kate and William, along with their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—are spending the half-term break on the Caribbean island of Mustique.
Their absence from this year’s BAFTAs, where William typically serves as President, underscores their commitment to family time. Kensington Palace confirmed their decision to skip the event, prioritizing their children over royal obligations.

The trip marks their second family getaway this year, following a ski holiday in the Alps during the New Year. Despite their royal duties, Kate and William ensure their children have a sense of normalcy and private time away from the public eye.
Over the years, William has proven himself to be a devoted husband, standing by Kate’s side as she navigates royal life.
Whether it’s offering fashion advice, shielding her from public pressure, or simply making her laugh, he continues to be her biggest support system.
Kate’s evolution into one of the most admired women in the world has been remarkable. From her early days as a royal to now being a symbol of grace and poise, she has mastered the art of public appearances. However, even she has had her moments of uncertainty, and William has always been there to guide her.
As the royal couple enjoys their tropical retreat, this story serves as a reminder of their strong bond. Their love is not just about royal obligations but about laughter, support, and being there for each other through life’s ups and downs.
From fashion mishaps to navigating the complexities of royal life, William and Kate’s relationship is a testament to their deep connection. Behind the crowns and titles, they are just like any other couple—sharing jokes, looking out for each other, and making memories with their family.
