Rumors of Kate Middleton covering Vogue magazine ran rampant last month, but the photo shoot never materialized. Was Queen Elizabeth II responsible for that? Yes and no. The Queen never said anything, but she didn’t have to. Palace insiders say Kate Middleton knows HM would be far from pleased about the Duchess dressing up in haute couture just so Anna Wintour could cash in. “Kate is keenly conscious that while her new grandmother-in-law may not chide her for appearing on a Vogue cover. But she would definitely not be amused,” said a source. “Her Majesty is a genius at making people squirm with simply a look or a ‘tut, tut.’ ” The royal source went on to add that while Kate Middleton and Prince William are free to be interviewed or photographed by whomever they choose, they are trying to downplay the self-promotion of Kate as a fashion or style icon. “They are flattered by the attention but tat’s not what they are about and they take their royal duties far too seriously to, in one sense, trivialize them,” said the insider. Kate may be a princess under pressure , but so far, she’s handled it superbly. [Photos: WENN.com]
