The remark about Princess Kate’s approach to jewellery was made on the podcast Creative Conversations, which is hosted by Suzy Menkes, 79, the former Vogue editor.
The well-known critic, who in 2014 received an OBE from the late Queen for her work in fashion journalism, invited Carol Woolton, the current jewellery editor of British Vogue, on the show so they could talk about the Princess of Wales’s most recent looks.
The former editor of Vogue International claimed that Kate, 41, doesn’t seem as excited about jewellery as her step-mother-in-law Camilla, 76, despite having the opportunity of wearing a collection of rare and expensive diamonds.
Ms Menkes claimed: “The Princess of Wales is a bit of a disappointment about jewellery. She gives the impression that she only puts it on when she absolutely has to.
“I imagine her looking beautiful in one of those gowns behind the scenes and then pulling a face as if to say, ‘Do I have to wear this?’
“She doesn’t give any sense of adoring jewellery and being pleased to put it on.”
The fashion expert also emphasised how Queen Camilla, on the other hand, seems to be much more interested in jewellery.
Ms Menkes added: “She doesn’t seem to have Camilla’s joy at wearing jewellery.”
The Princess of Wales wears a combination of jewellery from the Royal Collection and other items she has purchased from the high street since she married into the Royal Family.
