Kate Middleton dresses can be rented from new site; Royal couple set up companies to protect "brand"

 PA

For those who admire Kate Middleton's fashion but can't afford the designer price, a new website now lets you rent clothes from one of the designers frequently worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.

A UK-based website called "Girl Meets Dress" allows girls to rent designer dresses without paying the designer price.

The website allows you to select a dress to book between 2 to 7 nights, including up to three dresses to try on. Dresses will arrive on the selected delivery date. After wearing the dress, customers mail back the piece with the pre-paid label provided.

The site includes stock from designer Beulah, which is frequently worn by the Duchess of Cambridge.

According to Hello, such pieces include the Sabitri Dress in Powder Blue and the Red Isadora Gown.

A list of dresses worn by celebrities that can be rented can be seen here.

Kate Middleton recently celebrated her 32<sup>nd birthday with a simple family dinner party at Kensington Palace. Guests at the party other than Prince William and her baby son Prince George included her immediate family, parents Carole and Michael Middleton, sister Pippa and brother James.

In other royal family news, Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton reportedly set up their own companies to protect their "brand."

The company was set up in 2012 and will allow the royal family to take legal action against anyone that can harm their image or protect themselves from trademark issues.

Kate's company is called CE Strathearn and William's is APL Anglesey. Prince Harry's is Tsessebe. The firms are not to be used for trading and will likely remain dormant as it has been since 2012 .
