London - A small family firm in Nottinghamshire has had an “unprecedented” run of orders after Kate and William swaddled Prince George in one of their christening shawls.
GH Hurt and Son, which has a long-standing connection with the Royal Family, sent the couple one of their £45 (about R700) merino shawls.
It was identical to one William had when he was a baby.
Gillian Taylor, its director, said the company felt “honoured”.
A source from the firm said: “The phone has been ringing off the hook and we have been taking more online orders than we have ever seen before.
“We had no idea what they were going to use it until we saw the television footage ourselves. We were dancing with joy.” - Daily Mail
