The Duchess of Cambridge KATE MIDDLETON has rejected the offer to do a cover for Vogue magazine, entertainment news today has learned. Kate, who’s made it firmly known she has no intention of becoming the style icon her famous mother-in-law was, turned down overtures from Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour to appear in the magazine’s cover.
In fact, Wintour even enlisted the help of Mario Testino, the celebrated photographer who did Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s engagement portraits, to soften the Duchess up to the possibility of posing for Vogue.
“I haven’t seen a bad picture of her,”
Testino gushed.
“I think he’s chosen well. Stylish, beautiful, charming, she fits the part perfectly. She is a very nice person as well.”
But, no dice. Kate Middleton, perhaps with the British royal protocol and the Queen’s displeasure in mind, has ever so politely declined.
“Both William and Kate feel it would be wrong for Kate to promote herself as a fashion or style icon,”
a palace aide revealed.
“That’s not what they are about and they take their royal duties far too seriously to, in one sense, trivialize them.”
So Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, beloved wife of William, and reluctant style icon, will continue to flout her good sense of style, and Vogue magazine be damned.
