That Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, is pretty
crafty when it comes to her gratitude. Especially for the crafty folks who
contributed to her iconic wedding dress.
The Duchess paid a secret (and surprise) visit Tuesday to
the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, the group of hands that
added the meticulous embroidery to the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress
in which she said "I do" to Prince William, Duke of Cambridge last
April.
"Catherine was keen to express her gratitude in person
to the women who worked so hard on her dress. She was very conscious of the
pressure that they were under," a friend of Kate's told Britain's
Telegraph.
About 30 of the institution's staffers -- whose handiwork
incorporated United Kingdom symbols such as the rose, shamrock, thistle and
daffodil into the more than 9-foot train -- reportedly gathered to greet Kate.
The Ministry wonders if the chic staff of the Alexander
McQueen salon can expect the same courtesy? We'll keep you posted.
