Britain’s Duchess Catherine has ”strength” in her style.
Designer Katherine Hooker has previously created clothes worn by the royal and her sister Pippa Middleton, and she admits despite her ”conservative” exterior she continues to stay true to herself and what she likes.
She said: ”She does have quite a strength in her style. Although it’s very conservative, there is something that sets her apart from just your average nice, conservative, well-brought-up girl. She’s managed to do something – and I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.
”I think a lot of people think that she dresses very boringly, that she should be more fashion-forward and all that, but I think that she’s a very strong person, she has a strong personality.”
Despite having dressed her previously, she admits she does not know Kate – who is a fan of wearing both high-street and high-end fashion – too well, but thinks of her as a ”lovely girl”.
She added to New York magazine: ”I’ve spoken about Kate a bit, but I’ve nothing really to say except that she’s a lovely girl. She’s not my best friend.
