Kate Middleton’s wedding designer is…

accreditation
It was thought that the future queen - who is set to marry her Prince William on April 29 - would choose her favourite label Issa to design the gown but designer Ben de Lisi is adamant Bruce has been chosen to design the special dress.

He told Britain's Telegraph newspaper: "There are lots of rumours, but I've heard it is Bruce Oldfield.

"I'm absolutely certain I won't get chosen; I'm sure I'm not in the running."

American-born Ben - whose gowns have been worn by Kate Winslet, Helena Bonham Carter and Angelica Huston - says he feels sorry for Kate because the entire world will be waiting to judge her wedding attire.

He said: "Kate has to do what's right for Kate. It's never going to be easy for her because the whole world is looking at her. She has a lot of boxes to tick.

A spokesman for Bruce - who designed the wedding dress for Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron's wife Samantha, and was also a favourite of William's late mother Princess Diana - denied an official offer had been made saying: "Bruce has no comment on that. It's just Ben's opinion."
