Art history major Kate Middleton, in recent weeks is being approached by a lot of brands hoping for her to launch a lifestyle brand of her very own, and according to a report by RadarOnline it seems to pose a threat to Meghan’s own As Ever luxury lifestyle brand line.
Her talent for décor is even something Meghan’s own husband has complimented in his own memoir Spare, in the past.
According to an excerpt he’s said to have wrote, “the wallpaper, the ceiling trim, the walnut bookshelves filled with volumes of peaceful colours, priceless works of art. Magnificent. Like a museum.”
He also added at the time, “We congratulated them on the renovation without holding back the compliments while feeling embarrassed of our Ikea lamps and the second-hand sofa we'd recently bought on sale with Meg's credit card on sofa.com.”
Even a source close to the Firm gushed over the Princess of Wales, and admitted the same. "Kate's decorating skills have long been admired, and now that she has this much larger space, everyone around her is saying she could easily turn this talent into a brand that overshadows any lifestyle business Meghan has tried to launch,” they said.
There is even chatter that “Major brands are approaching Kate like crazy about launching furniture lines, homewares, even a full interior design consultancy. It's exactly the sort of venture that would fit her understated but impeccable aesthetic, and there's a lot of excitement in the industry about what she could achieve.”
Even a palace source has not shut down the prospect completely because they believe, “Kate has always been quietly ambitious with her interests outside royal duties. Now the combination of her visibility, credibility, and taste means she could take on a serious commercial project, and everyone around her knows it would eclipse any comparable lifestyle endeavor.”
