It must have been a sad day in the Windsor household yesterday as the Princess of Wales came to learn that her most favoured designer, Sarah Burton, was to step down from her position as creative director for Alexander McQueen.
Having taken the reigns following McQueen’s death in 2010, Burton has held the role for more than a decade. Widely considered a safe, reliable pair of hands at the brand, her resignation has shocked and saddened many, though no more than Kate — Burton’s biggest fan.
