Well tbh, the PoW could probably also do with a bit of exploring of her former lolling out of taxis, tits out on the beach days and breaking out of the impeccable can do no wrong image, imho. I'd kind of hoped installing a new monarch would also mean leaving behind the overly staid bits and bring a more modern outward façade, well as modern as they'd manage anyhow. Well, you know, less of the tights and ballerina pink nails.
Alexander McQueen (the brand) doesn't have a royal warrant or anything like that, do they, she's just a very good customer and unofficial ambassador? I come from republican stock so I do get the knee jerk aversion but I think it's probably also fair to say that had KM gone with some other wedding dress designer I don't think the brand would have survived. As much as Sarah Burton doing a really good job on the gown and bridesmaid dresses when the business was very much in flux after his suicide was, having the platform of a royal wedding will have made a world of difference and really made it a global brand overnight. So in that sense the close relationship between PoW and the house feels warranted but I also think it's probably fair to say it's gotten a little too tangled up.
Where she'd have to shop then for her suit staples, hmm, well in my ideal world she'd hire Hannah MacGibbon (another female designer in a high profile post who seemingly got dropped without explanation and left to wither, still some of my favourite Chloé collections even if they were few), get her to scour the British fabric mills for the most exquisite small batch production fabrics, and get just the right tailors to execute the designs to champion that aspect of the British fashion industry instead of just the shiny fashion bit at the top which for the most part isn't even British owned anymore, time for some appreciation of the little businesses that still carry on the craft.
