Kate Middleton is elegant as she visits textile mill in Leeds once owned by family

Kate Middleton declares she 'loves the feel and smell' of freshly-woven fabric and admires 'amazing' Kings' Guard uniform at Leeds textile mill The Princess of Wales said she 'loves the feel and smell' of freshly woven fabric as she was given a tour of a Leeds textile mill today. Kate Middleton, 41, proved she more than has the textile industry in her blood as she visited a leading Yorkshire mill that bought out her own family manufacturing firm 65 years ago. In 1958 her paternal great-grandfather, Noel Middleton, helped to sell the family business, William Lupton & Co, to A W Hainsworth in Pudsey, West Yorkshire after more than 160 years in business. So when the princess decided she wanted to undertake a visit to highlight the thriving nature of the British textile industry, their busy factory was the obvious choice. Wearing a green suit by British brand Burberry and matching heels with eye-catching gold jewellery, Kate grabbed handfuls of freshly-woven Merino wool fabric and declared: ‘ I love the feel of it and the smell of it!’ In one humorous moment, Kate was shown a mannequin, named Oliver, who was dressed in the King's Guard military uniform made by the mill, calling it 'amazing' to see how the garment had been constructed. #katemiddleton #princewilliam #textilemill
