Fashion of Catherine, Princess of Wales#Kate Middleton effect

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-According to ''[[Newsweek]]'', "The Kate Effect may be worth £1 billion to the UK fashion industry".
-The Duchess of Cambridge's [[wedding dress of Kate Middleton|wedding dress]] was put on display at [[Buckingham Palace]] in the summer of 2011. The display helped to raise approximately £8 million for the [[Royal Collection]], as well as the charitable fund of the Duke and Duchess, and was reported to have drawn a record number of visitors.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nymag.com/thecut/2011/09/kate_middletons_wedding_dress.html |title=Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress Could Attract More Visitors to Buckingham Palace in a Single Summer Than Ever Before - The Cut |publisher=Nymag.com |date=2011-04-30 |access-date=2013-03-31}}</ref> This charitable contribution was enhanced in 2012 when the Duchess gave her first public speech for her patronage, EACH (East Anglia's Children's Hospices), and was seen wearing one of their charity bracelets. The bracelet then went on to sell out rapidly, although the number of available units beforehand was not known.<ref>{{cite web|author=Victoria Murphy |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/kate-middleton-kate-effect-strikes-1156290 |title=Kate Middleton: Kate Effect strikes again as £10 charity bracelets sell out after Duchess is pictured wearing one |work=Mirror Online |publisher=Mirror.co.uk |date=2012-07-23 |access-date=2013-03-31}}</ref>
-In December 2017, [[Meghan Markle]], the fiance of Middleton's brother-in-law [[Prince Harry]], caused a surge in interest in Scottish retailer [[Strathberry]], after carrying one of their handbags to a public event shortly after their engagement. This was reported as an indication that Markle's fashion choices would produce her own version of the Kate effect.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/12/01/scottish-luxury-handbag-company-gets-big-break-sending-sample/|title=Scottish family handbag firm feels the ‘Meghan effect’ as Strathberry orders soar|last=Ward|first=Victoria|date=2017-12-01|work=The Telegraph|access-date=2018-02-09|language=en-GB|issn=0307-1235}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vogue.co.uk/article/meghan-markle-fashion|title=The Meaning Of Meghan|publisher=British Vogue|first=Afua|last=Hirsch|first2=Claudia|last2=Croft|date=18 May 2018|accessdate=31 May 2018}}</ref> After Markle and Prince Harry's first appearance as a couple, brands [[Mackage]], [[Birks]], R&R Jewelers and Crown Jewelers noted an upswing in their website hits and sales.<ref>{{cite news|title=How to Dress Meghan Markle (Hint: You Probably Can't)|url=https://www.businessoffashion.com/articles/intelligence/the-challenges-of-dressing-meghan-markle|accessdate=24 May 2018|work=The Business of Fashion|date=16 May 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/25/meghan-markle-makes-gold-sales-sparkle.html|title=Meghan Markle makes gold sales sparkle|publisher=CNBC|date=25 May 2018|accessdate=31 May 2018}}</ref>
