Kate Middleton Style Blog

About & Contact

About Kate Middleton Style Blog:

This is a website about Kate Middleton—the Princess of Wales—and fashion! I write blog posts about Kate’s style during public engagements, document the outfits she wears, and chronicle the individual clothing items in her wardrobe. I also write style tips and create guides to help people ‘get the look’. Also, expect news about Kate and work, plus her family, where appropriate.

There’s over 100,000 fans on our Facebook page who love Kate & her style! Come join us!

About me & why I started this site:

My name is Carly Whitewood (née Wood).

I started the site as a hobby in 2011 after being captivated by Royal Wedding fever! I was interested in both Kate and her sister Pippa (and particularly their style).

I can’t believe this site is now over 12 years old!

In 2014, I set up the wardrobe section of the site to archive the pieces Kate wears, but primarily, to make my own life easier! It meant I could quickly find information for my writing (e.g. how many times Kate had worn an item). This section of the site became pretty popular with people wanting to learn more about Kate’s clothing.

I live in York, England, UK.

I love blogging. I’ve been writing one blog or another for 20 years.

I have a Masters Degree in Media and Communication. I set this site up during my studies to entertain myself when not writing essays! As part of my degree, I took modules on various media-related topics, website creation, and PR. I think it’s interesting that I wrote a dissertation analysing online communities and now I’m part of a huge one—Kate fans!

I love fashion, handbags, tiaras and the royals (of course).

I am a mother to a toddler (and a dog).

In the Media:

I recently spoke to Emily Burak for Town & Country Magazine on the topic of Kate’s coronation wardrobe (May 2023).

Gaby Hinsliff interviewed me for a piece in the Guardian about “The Kate Effect” (May 2023).

Emily Retter included my thoughts about Kate’s style evolution for an article celebrating the Princess’s 40th (Jan 2022).

I wrote an article for The Metro about Kate Middleton’s ‘tourdrobe’ in 2014.

I contributed to this piece in the Express on Kate’s Golden Jubilee style in 2012.

I contributed to this Daily Mail article on Kate’s style following the 2011 Royal Wedding.

The title of this one may not be unique, but we’ll hand it to Kate Middleton Style Blog: it has focus. Most of the posts are formulated in the same way: a summary of the event Kate attended, brief description of her outfit, then links to where and how the readers can create her look for themselves.
