Duchess Catherine’s ‘strong’ style

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.
