The Princess of Wales’s morning ritual has finally been revealed by a former royal staffer who got to see first-hand her everyday habits – and it is surprisingly normal. Anne Simmons, 57, who worked as a cleaner at Buckingham Palace for 12 years, from 2008 to 2020, has given a rare insight into Princess Kate’s life, helping us form a better understanding of the future Queen.
Prince William’s wife never fails to look refreshed and polished every single time she steps out, even after a challenging year of treatment following her cancer diagnosis. According to Ms Simmons, Kate, who is now in remission, likes to keep things « surprisingly low-key and consistent. « She told Edit Suits: « She [Princess Kate] is incredibly organised.
« No chaos, no luxury overload—just a handful of carefully chosen steps that she clearly trusts.
« There was one product for her hair, a natural moisturiser, and always a moment to herself before things got busy. »
According to the ex-royal staffer, Kate takes a simple five-step approach when it comes to her morning ritual.
The former royal staffer said her biggest surprise was how consistent Kate was.
She said: « There weren’t dozens of serums or constant new products. Her routine didn’t change. That’s why it works. »
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Edit Suits commented on Kate’s routine, saying:
« Kate’s morning routine shows that looking your best isn’t about excess—it’s about consistency.
« It’s reassuring to see that even royalty stick to simple habits that genuinely work. Her look may be polished, but the process is refreshingly grounded. »
