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.”
