Kate Middleton’s Longtime Stylist Natasha Archer Quits After 15 Years

Natasha Archer, who has served as the longtime personal assistant and unofficial stylist to the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, is leaving Kensington Palace after 15 years to start her own private consultancy. Archer played a crucial role in transforming Kate’s style from a 'girl-next-door' to a regal fashion icon, influencing wardrobe choices that respect cultural contexts during royal tours, such as the 2019 visit to Pakistan where both Kate and Prince William wore traditional attire. She was known not only for her keen eye for British fashion but also for her close personal rapport with the princess, providing support during key life events including Kate’s cancer treatment. Archer was promoted to senior private executive assistant in 2022 and was honored with the Royal Victorian Order in 2019 for her dedicated service. The royal household has expressed full support for her decision and wished her success in her future endeavors. Archer is married to royal photographer Chris Jackson, and she plans to leverage her extensive experience by advising high-profile clients in her new venture.
