She's changing things up!

As Kate Middleton celebrates her first Mother's Day as a mum of three, it looks like the Duchess of Sussex is hoping to revamp her look as according to a royal source, she has made a new fashion hire. And it's valued opinion to Kate as it's her old friend from college and ex-fashion editor turned stylist, Virginia Chadwyck Healy.

Introducing Kate's new fashion advisor...

The stylist who too studied at St Andrew's is said to be onboard to help Kate revamp her look given the constant scrutiny she's under. Virginia or "Ginnie" as she's known to by friends will be given the role "fashion advisor".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the royal source said:
"Ginnie is Catherine’s secret weapon. She has made a big difference to the Duchess's wardrobe for public engagements and has helped give her a whole new sense of confidence."
Kate's previous fashion advisior, Natasha Archer is currently on maternity leave and so, many speculate that Virgina might only be filling in until Natasha returns.
Earlier this week, another royal insider gave her thoughts on Kate and Meghan's rumoured "feud" that has been filling headlines for the past few months. Royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told Glamour that she had never heard about the duchesses falling out with each other or actually feuding.

Was there ever a "feud"?

She explained:
"I had heard about an upset over the dress fitting for Princess Charlotte. And I had heard that while Harry was very keen for the two of them to become best friends, there was never that sort of a friendship. "They quite quickly realized they were two pretty mature women—quite different women—and really the only thing they had in common was they'd married princes. Not just Prince Harry, I think probably the world wanted them to become best friends."
But Nicholl admitted that she does believe there to be "some truth" that there was tension between Meghan and Kate - as well Prince Harry and Prince William.
She added:
"As we all know, things can gather momentum pretty quickly. So while I think there's been tension, I don't believe there has been some feud."
Nicholl said that it is believed the duchesses made "an agreement to get along" and put on a united front in public. Interesting.
