Prince George was born on 22nd July 2013. Almost 24 months after this event, a second birth is looming.
The Press in general is waiting for the “new royal baby” with already a list of unanswered questions: is it a boy or a girl – what will the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s second child be called?
There is also the expectation whether Kate and William will face the photographers with Prince George and his new born brother and sister in their arms – to repeat their first presentation in 2013.
The Duchess has been observed and scrutinised during her pregnancy and public appearances. Tabloids are always after a new photo and eventual gossips. There is as well the ongoing query of “what was Kate wearing” or more precisely “who is she wearing“?
The Royal fashion is something which seems to attract the attention of fans but also haute couture designers! When a personality with a high profile is expecting a baby there are certainly always a couple of couturiers which are thinking of something special and different for the future mothers. If it looks good on these women, others will want to have it as they will feel associated with a person that million have seen wearing that particular cut and look.
A few years back, Hunter boots and Barbour jackets started to appear in the urban landscape – urban & casual chic maybe – this only happened because Kate and William had this look. Some young couples are seeing them as real influencers of what to wear – fashionable and comfortable too.

In the end, it might be something totally different and maybe not deeply rooted in the tradition?!
The Duke and The Duchess of Cambridge is a young couple who might want something more modern than the usual James or Victoria… unless they have some rules to respect – such as the way their coat of arms is formed.

Krista Charles is a talented and certainly patient artist.
The procedure is in fact straight forward but can be time consuming. Here is how it works.
Krista takes a matchbook with an address on it – usually a promotional product from a random business.
The second stage is to browse the internet in order to find on Google Maps and more precisely Street View the company concerned.
From there on, Krista will draw ON the matchbook inside cover, the actual image published by Google of that actual firm, retailer, trader, restaurant…etc
Each work is unique, in other words a limited edition.
