Britain's Duchess Catherine is giving her husband Prince William a style makeover.

The duchess has been seen shopping for men's items at the Gant concession in the Peter Jones department store in Chelsea, as well as at Zara in Kensington High Street, London, where she picked up garments for her husband.

A source told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: 'Catherine loves clothes, so it makes sense that she should choose a few things for William.'

Some fashion experts believe Catherine's intervention in William's wardrobe is much needed.

Designer James Small said: 'Prince Charles always looks very smart, but I would love to get hold of Prince William and his younger brother Prince Harry and take them to a good tailor.

'I wouldn't change the sense in how William dresses, but I'd love to get his shirts fitted properly, co-ordinate his ties and stick him in double-breasted suits. What he wore at the wedding was phenomenal.'

William is unlikely to be seen in his new clothes for some time as he is currently on a tour of duty as an RAF search-and-rescue helicopter pilot in the Falkland Islands and won't return home for three weeks.
