Kensington Palace intend to \u201creset the balance\u201d with their Princess Kate coverage, a royal commentator has claimed.<\/p>\n

Royal commentator Gareth Russell has exclusively told GB News that Palace communications teams are seeking a more balanced approach to royal coverage.<\/p>\n

Russell suggests the royal households want equal attention given to both the fashion choices of royals and their substantive work.<\/p>\n

This comes amid ongoing discussions about media focus on royal appearances versus their charitable endeavours and public duties.<\/p>\n

The comments offer insight into how Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace are attempting to shape public perception of the monarchy’s work.<\/p>\n

Russell’s remarks highlight the delicate balance royal communications teams must strike between public interest in royal style and the substance of their official engagements.<\/p>\n

Speaking to GB News, Russell elaborated on the communications strategy, saying: “We’ll see the royal households try to create more of a balance between pieces written about what they’re wearing versus what they’re doing.”<\/p>\n

He added: “And I think that’s probably what they’re attempting to do – reset the balance.”<\/p>\n

This suggests a conscious effort by palace officials to redirect media attention towards the substantive work undertaken by members of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

Russell’s comments indicate that royal communications teams recognise the public’s interest in royal fashion but are actively working to ensure this doesn’t overshadow coverage of their charitable work and official duties.<\/p>\n

Russell’s comments follow earlier statements from a Kensington Palace source to The Times regarding Princess Kate’s public image.<\/p>\n

The source had stated: “There is an absolute feeling that [the public work] is not about what the princess is wearing.”<\/p>\n

They emphasised that the Princess of Wales “wants the focus to be on the really important issues, the people and the causes she is spotlighting.”<\/p>\n

The Palace source acknowledged public interest in royal fashion, noting: “There will always be an appreciation of what the princess is wearing from some of the public, and she gets that.”<\/p>\n

However, they questioned whether official commentary on royal attire was necessary, adding: “The style is there, but it’s about the substance.”<\/p>\n

Following these statements, a Kensington Palace spokesman issued a clarification to GB News regarding recent reporting about the Princess of Wales’s clothing.<\/p>\n

The spokesman stated: “To clarify, the comments that appeared in the article were from me, not The Princess of Wales.”<\/p>\n

They emphasised: “The comments that were reported should not be directly attributed to The Princess of Wales.”<\/p>\n

The Palace representative concluded by confirming there had been no shift in their communications approach: “To be clear, there has been no change in our approach to sharing information about Her Royal Highness’s clothing.”<\/p>\n

This clarification appeared to address potential misinterpretation of the earlier comments to The Times about royal fashion coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kensington Palace intend to \u201creset the balance\u201d with their Princess Kate coverage, a royal commentator has claimed.
