Natasha Archer has been transforming Kate Middleton’s public image since 2014, when the now Princess of Wales made her her personal stylist. She is responsible for the evolution of William of England’s wife’s wardrobe, which included a change from her classic coat dresses to more modern suits after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, to offer a “more authoritative” image. preparing her, through the power of the aesthetic, for her role as the future queen of England. Archer is also the one who dressed Middleton with high-end British brands, such as Alexander McQueen, Emilia Wickstead or Erdem, in combination with other more affordable brands, such as Strathberry or Vampire’s Wife, which fans of the looks of the royal they could acquire.

British media claim that it is a more personal reward than a work reward. Archer and Middleton are, according to close sources, “close”: “Natasha deserves this boost: she is unfailingly discreet and loyal to Kate. The salary increase will also be welcome. This appointment means that we can expect to see Natasha at Kate’s side in the coming years,” says a source close to the diary Daily Mail.

Archer began working for the monarchy in 2007, in the private office of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. But in 2010 she moved to the then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, as one of her numerous assistants. Around 2014, Kate Middleton gave him that vote of confidence. A vote that he now renews with more responsibility.
