Kate Middleton’s go-to designer shares her thoughts on the Duchess and her sister’s fashion choices

Kate Middleton’s life as a royal may force her to make strategic style choices including covering up her cleavage and sporting longer hem lines, but according to the Duchess’ go-to designer, Katherine Hooker, she’s always dressed that way.

SANDI TOKSVIG: KATE MIDDLETON HAS ‘NO OPINIONS’

The designer, who has been dressing the royal long before she married Prince William, told The Huffington Post: ‘Her [Kate Middleton] style was fairly appropriate for the role that she’s currently in ten years ago, so it didn't need to change.’

And neither has Kate’s choice of designers!

Pippa Middleton’s style also mimics her sister’s with the designer adding: ‘Pippa’s [style is] also pretty conservative and classic.’ And equally as photo worthy too.

But the Middleton’s support of British fashion isn’t a recent development; as Katherine reveals Kate has always chosen to wear local labels and does not receive any free clothes from designers.

Katherine said: ‘She doesn’t take free clothes, and I’ve heard that from other people who sent her things. She always comes to the shop, which is nice. And we've sent her a few things when she didn’t have time to come in.’

Talk then turned to what Kate Middleton was like when she shops at the store, ‘She’s just an incredibly lovely person,’ Katherine said. ‘It couldn’t happen to a nicer person.’

We agree!
