The world has adapted, adjusted and activated an entirely new normal as we live through these strange and unexpected times.
It’s common knowledge that COVID-19 does not discriminate – and even the most elusive of us are taking government and World Health Organisation guidelines seriously.
That’s why it’s encouraging to see the royals, whose influence is greater than we probably even know, wearing face masks – an increasingly common measure implemented in many coutnries to help stop the rapid spread of the virus.
We all know that a single image of Duchess Catherine can spark a phenomenon – just look at how many lines of clothing she’s completely sold out.
So seeing her fellow regal folk stepping out wearing an accessory that’s not only safety conscious, but also stylish in many cases is nothing but a positive thing.
