This is the one thing you will never see Kate Middleton wear
And it all makes sense...


And it all makes sense...
The Cambridges are undoubtedly the most talked-about family in the world, and following their recent role elevation within the royal fold, it’s hardly surprising that Prince William and Kate Middleton are making even more news.
The Duchess of Cambridge has made headlines in particular, from her appearance at the Commonwealth Games and the viral snaps at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, to a sweet anecdote about Kate Middleton helping a young boy she thought was lost.
It is Kate's fashion rules that get the world talking more than most, with choosing the right clothes for events being a full time job for the Duchess - they nearly always have some sort of symbolic meaning.
According to a resurfaced report however, there is one thing you will never see the Duchess of Cambridge wearing - the colour orange.
Yes, really. Kate has worn every colour of the rainbow at royal events, but rarely orange, something there could be multiple explanations for.
Colour Psychology explains that the colour orange symbolically carries some negative connotations.

"Among the negative traits of this colour are exhibitionist, superficial, inexpensive, dependent, unsociable, or too proud," it reads.
It is thought however that in terms of royal dressing, the reluctance to wear orange is more likely to be down to the fact that it is an unflattering colour to photograph.
Well, that's that.
