Old photos reveal Duchess Kate's daring pre‑wedding fashion choices

Prince William and Duchess Kate regularly rank among the most liked and respected royal family members. While Meghan and Harry often criticize other royals and expose family issues in documentaries, books, and interviews, William and Kate humbly fulfill their duties. Unsurprisingly, their restraint continues to earn the respect of the British public, and interest in their lives keeps growing.

Duchess Kate has officially represented the royal family at various events worldwide since her wedding to Prince William. The public has become accustomed to her calm and composed image. However, it is worth remembering that before becoming a duchess, she liked experimenting with fashion and letting loose a little.

Paparazzi photos showing Kate Middleton's more playful side have long been available online. As it turns out, William and Kate enjoyed having fun even at official events when they were engaged. This was the case, for example, in July 2008 when they attended the Boodles Boxing Ball charity event. In photos from the event, we can see Kate in a long, pink gown with a very deep neckline. Today, it would be unthinkable for her to appear in such an outfit. As for William, not much has changed for him. Well, maybe, aside from his hair. Three years before the wedding, the prince still had a lush, blond head of hair.
