Plus: How healthy is your coffee habit? Try our calculator
| | | By Lisa Armstrong Head of Fashion | | In our daily features conference where ideas get widely discussed before getting the green light, it was initially decided not to focus on what the Princess of Wales was wearing in the video she released on Monday to announce her recovery. This wasn’t about clothes but about a family grappling with cancer. But guess what one of the most searched-for subjects was the following day?
Kate’s monochrome, tiered Veronica Beard dress was pretty for sure. But why the obsession? Obviously the princess’s absence from the public stage has left a unique Kate-shaped chasm. More than that: the public is fascinated by just how well she has looked whenever she’s been seen in public. It’s both reassuring and part of her mystique. Perhaps also, focussing on a dress is a way for some to process the more frightening aspects of this narrative. Bottom line: this was a feature people would want to read.
