Emilia Jardine- Patterson, one of Prince George’s godparents, is reportedly assisting Kate Middleton with styling her oufits.

Friends since they were 13, Emilia has been responsible for Kate’s outfit choices over the past few months according to Grazia.

“Kate admires Emilia’s style,’ said a source. ‘Emilia has become increasingly important to her and Kate always uses her as a sounding board.

“Emilia is trying to move Kate away from the Middleton neutral palate and push her towards colour or pattern. Emilia loves vintage and tries to get Kate to be a bit more quirky.

“When they were at school she used to tease Kate about her prim Jigsaw shirts and hated those fur gilets Kate wore.”
