Privacy NoticeRoyal fans are all echoing the same sentiment about Kate Middleton after witnessing her transformation since becoming a part of the Royal Family. It’s been over 13 years since Kate said ‘I do’ to Prince William at Westminster Abbey in 2011, a moment that had the world mesmerised by their balcony smooch at Buckingham Palace. As the Princess of Wales has effortlessly become a part of the Royal family and quickly captured hearts globally, it’s easy to overlook that she once led a ‘normal’ life before stepping into a world of lavish dinners, palaces, and tiaras. Despite being raised in a wealthy household and attending elite boarding schools, there was a time when Kate’s life resembled that of us regular people – from popping to her local Tesco to earning a school nickname for playful antics – she was nicknamed ‘Kate Middlebum’, according to The Sun. A recent TikTok video showcasing Kate pre and post-royal life went viral, with fans unanimously agreeing that she looks younger now. Moreover, old photos reveal how she set the trend for a specific handbag that has made a comeback.

Pre-wedding pictures of Kate show her carrying M&S and Tesco bags around London, often dressed in jeans and petite tops with thin straps. Photos taken during her romance with the prince capture her wearing sunglasses, texting on a mobile phone, and casually enjoying drinks in a bar. Princess Kate has always been a trendsetter, even before the Longchamp bags became every student’s must-have accessory. Business Insider reports a whopping 44% increase in the brand’s revenue this year, with Gen Z and students snapping up their iconic tote bags. But TikTok users have noticed that Kate was rocking these chic totes way back in the early 2000s, proving her timeless fashion sense. “She wore Longchamp bag before it was fashionable,” commented one admirer.
Others have chimed in, praising her consistently impeccable style: “She always had such great style.” Another observed: “She still looked elegant back then.” Post-marriage, fans have noted her style evolution into a more polished and sophisticated look, complete with formal attire and accessories. They’ve also remarked on how the princess seems to defy age. One fan expressed: “Kate gets better with age” and “royalty sure looks good on her”. Echoing this sentiment, another added: “She doesn’t age,” And yet another admirer shared: “She is like a fine wine, just gets better with age. So beautiful.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK! MagazineFacebookTwitterCommentMore OnKate MiddletonRoyal Family
