Despite her demanding schedule, the Princess of Wales consistently presents a picture of poise and grace. According to a former Royal household staff member, her uncomplicated yet effective morning routine plays a key role in her flawless appearance.
Anne Simmons, who spent over a decade working within the Royal residences, attributes Kate’s radiant look to her structured and straightforward daily habits.
Speaking with Edit Suits, Anne explained, “She’s incredibly organised. There’s no chaos, no luxury overload – just a few carefully selected steps that she clearly relies on.”
The former cleaner shared that Kate’s routine involves just one hair product, a natural moisturiser, and a quiet moment of reflection before her daily engagements begin.
Anne stressed that the consistency of Kate’s routine is its secret to success, stating, “There weren’t loads of serums or constant new products. Her routine didn’t change. That’s why it works,” as reported by the Mirror.
To prepare for a busy day, Kate reportedly starts by splashing her face with cold water, a simple technique known to reduce puffiness and boost circulation, giving her skin a refreshed look without the need for elaborate serums or creams. Anne also revealed that the Princess applies Argan oil to her hair each morning.
“She kept a bottle of The Ordinary’s 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil on the counter. She’d work a little through the ends of her hair after brushing,” Anne disclosed.
Like many, moisturising is a crucial step in Kate’s morning routine. However, Anne shared a surprising detail: instead of relying on expensive brands, Kate prefers a more natural alternative.
While Anne didn’t reveal the exact brand the Princess uses, she noted, “Kate’s moisturiser wasn’t a flashy luxury brand. It was in a simple white tube – very understated.”
An essential component of Kate’s morning routine also includes finding a moment of peace before the day’s activities commence.
“She’d often sit by the window with a cup of tea for five minutes. No phone, just silence,” Anne revealed.
To complete her morning routine, Kate applies a minimal amount of makeup, typically opting for concealer and a subtle blush, rather than a full face of cosmetics.
