As mentioned, Natasha Archer was promoted to Kate Middleton’s stylist in 2014. That same year, Archer was credited with Kate’s stunning wardrobe during her royal visit to Australia. “She has always supported and advised Kate — and the duchess loves Natasha’s style, so it seemed like an obvious appointment,” an insider told Grazia at the time. Archer is believed to have convinced the Princess of Wales to try a style outside her comfort zone. She was even described by Vanity Fair’s Royals Watch as Kate’s “secret weapon” in October 2014. “Initially Kate was a reluctant fashion icon, but now she enjoys it,” the outlet wrote. “She has persuaded Kate to take some more risks. The hemlines are shorter and Kate’s really pushing the boat out in the fashion stakes.”
After living up to the pressure of styling Kate’s looks, Archer was asked to take a pass at Prince William’s wardrobe in October 2016. As the Daily Mail reported, it wasn’t a complete fashion overhaul, but Archer helped “freshen” the Prince’s wardrobe.
Before Archer officially assumed her post as stylist, she was brought in for an important assignment. Kate had Archer pick out the dress to wear while leaving the hospital in 2013 after giving birth to Prince George. Later, Archer was awarded a prestigious honor for all her efforts with the royals.
