Back in November 2021, the Duchess’s visit to Nower Hill High School showcased her in resplendent red with a fuller face and the kind of buoyant smile and rosy cheeks characteristic of good health and spirits. She was seen with thick, flowing locks and a delightful sparkle in her eyes as she participated in a neuroscience class focused on early childhood development.

Later that day, her smile was just as infectious, and her stance was confident. The Princess was not just a picture of royal poise but the epitome of a public figure deeply immersed in the cause of education and well being.

On February 21 last year, the Princess visited Oxford House Nursing Home. Donning a navy turtleneck paired with a tailored coat, she maintained her regal charm and the plumpness of her visage which was complemented by sapphire jewels.

However, subtle differences in Princess Catherine’s appearance began surfacing in late 2023. During the commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II’s life in September of last year, aside from her attire which was practical and suitable for her visit to the RNLI Life Boat Station, what draws attention is that the physical changes in her face were becoming more apparent.

She appeared remarkably skinnier than before and her once healthy glow which had been so prominent, looked slightly diminished. Additionally, the contours of her face seemed more defined, with the earlier roundness of her visage giving way to subtler lines.
