Kate Middleton – Alexander McQueen Wedding Dress Lawsuit

Who could forget Kate Middleton’s Alexander McQueen wedding dress which she wore in 2011 when she wed Prince William? It’s back in the news once again for a surprising reason. A UK-based bridal designer Christine Kendall claims that McQueen designer Sarah Burton copied her design sketches. She alleges that her sketches were sent to the Duchess of Cambridge and showed up in the final product. Now, she is launching a lawsuit for copyright infringement at the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court in London.

An Alexander McQueen spokesperson responded with the following statement: “We are utterly baffled by this legal claim. Christine Kendall first approached us at Alexander McQueen almost four years ago, when we were clear with her that any suggestion Sarah Burton’s design of the royal wedding dress was copied from her designs was nonsense. Sarah Burton never saw any of Ms Kendall’s designs or sketches and did not know of Ms Kendall before Ms Kendall got in touch with us — some 13 months after the wedding. We do not know why Ms Kendall has raised this again, but there are no ifs, buts or maybes here: this claim is ridiculous.”
