All eyes have been on the British royal family since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that they were stepping back from their royal duties. Following the announcement, many wondered how the decision would affect Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Queen Elizabeth II.

Now, a new report has stated that the Duchess of Cambridge has made intentional choices during recent appearances that indicate how she has become more "daring" following Megxit.

According to the Daily Mail, the Duchess "has taken to stepping out in eye-catching printed styles" following Meghan and Harry's royal exit. Her fashion choices included bold patterns and leopard prints.

"For Kate, choosing bold and eye-catching patterns is definitely a more daring choice for the Duchess. And it represents just how much her confidence has developed," said stylist Susie Hasler. She added that wearing the bold looks could indicate that Kate has started to become surer of herself and her abilities.

This echoed another report that emerged in December, which stated that Kate's appearance at the Queen's Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace showed "dramatic changes" in her confidence.

Earlier this month, some royal fans indicated that they believed the Duchess was sending other "strong" messages through her fashion. Additionally, a certain style choice that Kate made during her recent appearance with Prince William at the UK-Africa Investment Summit at Buckingham Palace inspired some to take note due to the specific meaning attached to the pieces.
