London - Kate Middleton has been praised by milliners Lock & Co Hatters for her impeccable taste.
The wife of Prince William - who is renowned for her sophisticated style - recently wore a hat by the label to two events, the Trooping the Colour ceremony and a friend's wedding and designer Sylvia Fletcher is thrilled Kate's love of stylist headwear is encouraging more people to embrace the trend.
She said: "I am absolutely thrilled Kate chose it. It's a piece that I personally really love. I'm delighted, I really am. She looked stunning - she has such wonderful taste. She does seem to love our hats.

"It's a very exciting time for us. We're getting a lot of interest from the US and from Canada - nations that have never really been into hat wearing before. Our website has given us a much wider presence, and it looks like much more popularity."
However Sylvia understands not everyone will have the same budget as the duchess and says the company has recently designed a middle fashion hats range in order to keep the brand affordable.
She added to Vogue.co.uk: "We've more recently turned it into more of a high fashion business. It's expanded enormously over the past few years. We've designed a middle fashion hats range, which is all about affordable luxury."
