Royal fans recently caught a glimpse of Kate Middleton ’s right-hand woman, Natasha Archer ’s Instagram account when she temporarily opened it to the public.
The revelation about the 37-year-old, who has been an employee of the royal family for over a decade, and was even awarded a dynastic knighthood for her service, comes ten days after it was reported that she planned on leaving the royal family.
- Natasha Archer, Kate Middleton’s longtime aide and stylist, quietly unfollowed Meghan Markle and her inner circle on Instagram, prompting “snub” speculation.
- The 37-year-old, who helped shape Kate’s evolving fashion sense, is stepping away from royal duties after 15 years of service.
- Archer is expected to launch a luxury consultancy, with her new Instagram already nearing 9,000 followers despite no content.
Crown chasers have observed a few changes on the aide’s social media account.

Speaking to the press, an unknown insider disclosed that Archer’s account kept tabs on official royal family members’ handles, including Kate, her husband William, King Charles , and his wife Camilla, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi.
The account also followed Suits actresses Abigail Spencer and Sarah Rafferty, but was no longer connected with Meghan Markle’s Instagram.
The leaker went on to say they noticed Archer also ceased to follow New York -based makeup artist Daniel Martin, photographer and fashionista Delfina Blaquier, and dance injury rehabilitation specialist Heather Dorak—all of whom are considered to be Markle’s inner circle.

Media outlets have since described her unfollowing of the Duchess of Sussex as a “swipe” while skirting the possibility that the action may merely be decorum in the light of the ongoing feud between Prince Harry’s family and the Palace.
It has thus far only been divulged that William and Kate wished Natasha the best for her future.

The furore surrounding the sneaky peak stems from the fact that Archer, as Kate’s unofficial stylist, is considered one of her closest stalwarts.
Her service to the Princess of Wales went beyond just waiting on her, as she is said to have steered the 43-year-old toward riskier clothing decisions.
An insider confirmed as much when she told Vanity Fair in 2014:

“Initially, Kate was a reluctant fashion icon, but now she enjoys it. Tash (Natasha’s nickname) helps source some of the clothes.”
“She shops a lot for Kate online, and calls in hundreds of dresses for Kate to try on. She has persuaded Kate to take some more risks. The hemlines are shorter and Kate’s really pushing the boat out in the fashion stakes.”
The sighting comes shortly after it was announced that Archer would be leaving the palace
