Princess Catherine offered to appear on Vogue covers as a global fashion icon

The Princess of Wales is being wooed by ‘the fashion bible’ to grace the covers of its publications around the world.

Princess Catherine has apparently been offered the global covers of Vogue.

Legendary Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour is said to have made a personal offer to the Princess of Wales, which is thought to include complete creative control of the project.

This would mean Catherine would get to choose her own photographer, the fashions she models and whether or not she would grant an interview to the pinnacle of lifestyle magazines.

A source told the Daily Mail on Sunday that Ms Wintour reached out to the royal offering her a choice of global Vogue covers, including the US and UK versions.

Kate Middleton did appear on the cover of British Vogue in June 2016 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Conde Nast flagship magazine.

In the intervening years, the Princess of Wales has faced triumphs and challenges.

“The princess has come a long way since that first cover,” a source told The Mail.

“She’s a global fashion icon but she is so much more. Her brave battle against cancer while raising three young children in the public eye makes her a role model to millions. Her story would be an inspiration to so many women going through what she has gone through.”

Even as the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine showcased her trim figure in exceptional if conservative fashion choices, balancing bold colours and personal touches with royal decorum. She has always been a great supporter of British designers on the international stage, such as Erdem, Alexander McQueen, Emilia Wickstead, and Jenny Packham.

According to The Independent, her long-time stylist Natasha Archer is credited with transforming Kate from a girl-next-door to a royal fashion icon. It’s not know if she would be invited to collaborate on editorial projects,

In Kate’s own social media posts and photo shoots, from her announcement that she had cancer, to a video expressing her gratitude last summer, she artistically directs her casual looks to stunning effect.

It comes as Princess Catherine undertook her second royal engagement in just over a week after announcing she is in remission from cancer, sparking hopes we could soon be seeing even more of her.

The Princess of Wales announced the expanded trial of a British early childhood initiative, with the sweet but seemingly innocuous appearance prompting a resounding cheer from royal watchers that she’s truly on the road to recovery.

Kate’s announcement that the Alarm Distress Baby Scale will be rolled out to eight more UK hospitals came just 10 days after she last turned her hand to royal duties.

On January 14, Kate made an emotional return to the Royal Marsden Hospital – of which she is now joint patron along with William.

During her visit to the Royal Marsden, where Kate herself received treatment, the Princess revealed she is in remission from cancer.

While Kate made several appearances in 2024, the Princess saved her strength for only the most important occasions such as Trooping the Colour, presenting the men’s singles trophy at Wimbledon and paying her respects on Remembrance Day.

She has not undertaken two separate appearances in such a short span for some time.

In total, Princess Catherine made 11 appearances last year, down from a whopping 92 in 2023.

While the Palace has repeatedly squashed suggestions Princess Catherine is “back to work” the uptick in engagements in believed to be a good sign.

“Great to see the expansion of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale trial to eight more NHS sites across the UK this year,” Princess Catherine wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her interacting with an adorable baby.

“From first seeing it in action in Denmark back in 2022 to today’s announcement, @earlychildhood is at the forefront of supporting this important trial, working closely with the Institute of Health Visiting.”

Princess Catherine has long held an interest in early childhood projects and advocated for them.

She established the Princess of Wales’ Centre for Early Childhood in 2021 which is part of the Royal Foundation she heads along with her husband Prince William.

“Babies start to express their feelings and communicate with the adults around them from birth,” the Princess wrote.

“Helping parents to connect with them, understand their cues and give warm loving, responsive care can have a hugely positive impact on their social and emotional development.

“The expansion of the trial means that thousands more families will benefit from health visitors specially trained in this area, laying the strongest possible foundations for infant wellbeing in the earliest weeks, months and years of their lives.”
