Kate Middleton on ‘The Crown’: How costume designers recreated her style
CNN: For five-and-a-half seasons, “The Crown” has dazzled viewers with its depictions of glamor, from the regal elegance of the young Queen Elizabeth touring the Commonwealth, to the jet-set chic of Princess Margaret and Princess Diana’s parade of iconic looks. But with sixth and final season spanning the late ’90s and early 2000s — a period that coincides with the deaths of Diana (played in this season by Elizabeth Debicki), Margaret (Leslie Manville), and Mary, the Queen Mother — the show’s Emmy-winning costume department has readjusted its focus, as the old guard gives way to the new generation of royals.

This article is truly one of the most fascinating I’ve read. The concept of being a real person but also a character, but having your real life be a script, but dramatized. That is so mind-blowing to me. I have always wondered what the royal family thought of this show. It's interesting how the article commented on clothing in the recent past. I didn’t think through the fact that trends are such a big part of local retailers and how the time hasn't passed as much as it needed to for people to take too much of an interest in re-creating it. I found it nice to see that the actual brands were willing to help but also that they took to the Gen-Z trend of thrifting/reselling. I find the idea of some kid selling a clothing item to a random online person only for them to end up seeing that exact sweater on TV.
