Kate Middleton is Not Princess Diana, Fashion-wise:Posing for Vogue cover

We all recall what a fashion plate Princess Diana was – she lived in Versace, wore designer duds even to the gym.
But the woman who would be her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, will not be following in her fashionista footsteps, chic as she is.
A palace source in England just told Britain’s Daily Mail: 'Both William and Kate feel it would be wrong for Kate to promote herself as a fashion or style icon.”
Why? Because apparently the Queen – William’s grandmama – doesn’t not approve of such vanity and frivolity. But why would she? Look at the way she dresses.


A Palace source told E!: 'Kate is keenly conscious that her new grandmother-in-law may not chide her for appearing on a Vogue cover.
'But she would definitely not be amused, and Her Majesty is a real genius at making people squirm with simply a look or a "tut, tut."'


U.S Vogue editor Anna Wintour is reportedly on a mission to land Kate as a cover girl
Wintour is said to have contacted photographer-to-the-stars Mario Testino, who took the official engagements portraits of the Royal couple.
A source told the New York Post: 'Every magazine has been trying to get Kate, and many assume it will eventually be Vogue.
'But even with the Mario Testino relationship, it is not clear when this will happen. The Palace must approve it, and they are very protective of Kate.'
Kate often divides critics with her demure, polished dress sense and glossy long hair.
But despite everything she wears selling out within hours, the 29-year-old has never claimed to be interested in fashion.
The Palace source said: 'But both William and Kate feel it would be wrong for Kate to promote herself as a fashion or style icon.
'That's not what they are about and they take their royal duties far too seriously to, in one sense, trivialize them.'
But either way, she can definitely count Wintour as a fan, who said of the Duchess: 'She dresses her age and never looks out of place.'
