Kate Middleton has just used her platform alongside Prince William to boast a business whose “ethos of buying less how creativity and responsibility can sit side by side.”

She shared everything on her Instagram page of 17.2 million followers in a series of three posts that highlight Melin Tregwynt, who have been doing this since 1841.

During her visit the Princess of Wales even did some stitching on a sewing machine herself.
