Designer Uniforms For Duchess Of Cambridge's Staff At Kensington Palace

Palace Staff Follow In Kate's Footsteps With Designer Gear

Her sartorial choices have seen her frequently fly the flag for British fashion - and now front of house staff at the Duchess of Cambridge's London home are following in her footsteps.

Their new uniforms were unveiled today by luxury label Jaeger as part of the royal residence's £12 million transformation.

The high-end British brand was brought in to kit out the Kensington Palace team last year, marking a significant wardrobe change for staff who have worn the same in-house designs for more than two decades.

When the palace reopens later this month, staff will sport bright red, double-breasted blazers and black trousers or skirts created by the 128-year-old firm.

The outfits will be worn with red and black blazers and red ties or neck scarves.

Design director Stuart Stockdale said: "I have been inspired by centuries of royal and court style and married this with modernity to offer the palace staff a bespoke uniform that they can feel proud of and enjoy wearing."

The outfits are manufactured by Jermyn Street Design, based in Hammersmith, west London.
