Kensington Palace Responds
A Kensington Palace spokesperson told the New York Post that the claims were “categorically not true,” adding, “The Royal Family never endorses commercial activity.”
Meanwhile, the clinic declined to confirm whether the Princess was ever a client, citing strict non-disclosure agreements with high-end patients.
They explained that Dr. Somji shared the “before and after” photos simply to demonstrate the subtle anti-aging effects of Botox, especially “baby Botox,” which he personally administers.
The ‘Kate Effect’ Is Evolving — and the Palace Is Changing With It
The “Kate effect” — where anything the Princess of Wales wears instantly sells out — isn’t new, and it’s expected to pass to Princess Charlotte too. But the style spotlight comes at a cost, sparking everything from beauty buzz to Botox rumors.
In March 2025, sources told The Times that the Palace will stop sharing details of Kate’s outfits. The reason? She wants the focus on her causes, not her clothes.
“She wants attention on the people and issues she supports,” the insider said.
Still, style talk or not, Kate remains the image of elegance — and royal restraint.
