Kate Middleton's personal assistant and trusted fashion confidante has officially left Kensington Palace after over a decade of service. Making an exit. The 37-year-old has been a close fixture in the Princess of Wales' camp since 2010, first serving as a personal assistant to both Prince William and Kate, according to DailyMail.com.
Over time, her role evolved into something far more personal, becoming not only one of the royal family's most dedicated members of staff, but also an unofficial dresser and shopping partner to Kate, a travel companion, and someone known in advance on foreign tours whenever possible making her one of her closest allies behind the scenes. Famously stylish and effortlessly refined, Archer is often celebrated as the woman who helped create the sophisticated yet modern royal aesthetic associated with Kate Middleton to this day. From red-carpet gowns to her globe-trotting wardrobe, she has played a part in almost every file photo-worthy fashion moment that ignited the famed "Kate Middleton effect," the phenomenon where something she wore would sell out within minutes.

Archer's exit marks the end of a royal era in fashion. It was her behind-the-scenes influence that pushed Kate to embrace British designers, including Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham, and to incorporate sustainable elements into the princess's wardrobe. In recent years, Archer also made the wearing-or-upcycling of outfits fabulous positively screwing over fast fashion. This had the conscious Kate stamp of approval written all over it, without her having to feel less elegant as a result. This goodbye is a courageous move forward. The palace confirmed that Archer's departure is related to her decision to open her own private consultancy, a step that suggests she's taking her finely tuned abilities to a much grander stage.
With her experience, attention to detail, and inside knowledge of image control, she is likely to attract A-list clients, outside the royal circle. Married to Chris Jackson, a royal photographer, since 2017, Archer has shared a lot of the couple's most intimate and public moments. There can be no doubt that a professional and personal void will be left in the royal family following her departure. As the Princess of Wales becomes increasingly adept in her public role, this transition marks a new chapter for her team. But Archer's impact on her outfit will be a lasting one, a silent legacy not forged under the spotlight, but alongside it.
