00:00Everyone dresses to impress, but the royal family takes that to a whole new level with
00:05subliminal messages and references to royals of the past. Here's what Kate Middleton's dress
00:10might be saying in her new video. On Monday, September 9th, 2024, Catherine, Princess of
00:15Wales, shared a heartfelt video to all social media accounts to update the public on her
00:19recent cancer diagnosis. Kate Middleton revealed that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment
00:24six months after the official announcement and is looking forward to being back at work.
00:28The uplifting family video provides a rare glimpse into the life of Princess Kate and
00:33her family and shows the 42-year-old wearing a white paisley print dress.
00:36The flowy, boho ensemble is a refreshing break from her typical royal attire and
00:41may be a subtle nod to an unlikely member of the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex.
00:47The list of Kate's favorite fashion designers clearly indicates that the princess prefers
00:53British fashion labels. However, her dress of choice for the cancer recovery news belongs
00:58to American designer Veronica Beard, who happens to be one of Meghan Markle's favorite designers.
01:03This relaxed summer dress serves as a reminder of Kate's ongoing healing journey,
01:07but it could also convey a message about the relationship between Kate and Meghan.
01:11Meghan Markle has worn Veronica Beard designs on several occasions throughout the years.
01:15In fact, she recently donned a head-to-toe Veronica Beard ensemble in August during her
01:20and Prince Harry's tour of Columbia. Her outfit comprised a navy buttoned vest with matching
01:24bottoms. The designer also shared a photo of Meghan wearing one of her dresses in 2018
01:29during a visit to the Kingdom of Tonga. Meghan was also spotted in a Veronica Beard blazer in 2016.
01:34So her love for Veronica Beard designs stems back to her pre-royalty days when she worked as an
01:39actor on the corporate drama series Suits. This classy yet laid-back fashion label is certainly
01:44popular among Hollywood celebs. That said, it's not a brand that one would usually associate with
01:49the British royal family, which lends credence to the belief that Kate's newfound interest in
01:53this American label serves an underlying purpose. Some speculate that this dress might be Kate's
01:58indirect attempt to extend an olive branch to the estranged duchess. Is the princess attempting to
02:03reconcile her relationship with Meghan? If so, why the sudden change of heart?
02:07Anyone who has personally dealt with chronic or serious health conditions
02:11understands that you don't always come out as the same person. Life-changing experiences
02:15leave their mark, so it's entirely possible that Kate's recovery has reminded her of the
02:19importance of family. Much has happened between Prince William and Prince Harry,
02:23which has inevitably affected the relationship between Kate and Meghan. However, Kate and Meghan
02:28don't have a clear record either, as Meghan revealed during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
02:32In truth, the two royals may never have gotten along, but the rift between the
02:36two brothers is partly to blame. Kate shared in her recent video,
02:40"...the cancer journey is complex, scary, and unpredictable for everyone,
02:45especially those closest to you."
02:48It's not impossible to believe that, despite their rocky history,
02:51Kate may wish to let go of past resentments for the sake of her family.
02:54While Prince Harry and Meghan were not directly informed of Kate's diagnosis,
02:58they did provide a statement to Wish Health & Healing for Kate and the family. That said,
03:02Kate must also find it in herself to forgive Harry and Meghan's latest blunder — an ill-timed teaser
03:07for the couple's next Netflix series that the streamer dropped mere hours after Kate's update
03:12video.
