ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: Following what the Princess of Wales appears in is entertaining, but the decision to no longer release details of the clothes she wears in public makes sense.
The main conceptual idea of the article is that Princess Catherine of Wales is making a positive statement by choosing not to focus solely on her clothing as a public figure.
The author applauds the Princess for prioritizing the real work she does, representing the country and supporting institutions, rather than adhering to the "mannequin" expectation of being a fashion icon. This choice allows the Princess to focus on her role as a patron and representative of the people, rather than simply as a symbol of style.
The article argues this approach enhances the legitimacy and substance of her public image.
