The fashion world is abuzz with rumours regarding the future royal's dress, but her spokespeople are refusing to reveal the identity of the chosen designer because they want it to remain a secret up to the big day next month.
But McQueen's stylists have ruled themselves out of the race, denying reports suggesting they've landed the honour.
McQueen's creative director Sarah Burton was said to be the woman behind the gown, but the company's spokeswoman Myriam Coudoux says, "This is not true."
McQueen's chief executive Jonathan Akeroyd was said to have told a colleague that the company had won the job for the wedding on April 29.
But he insisted yesterday that the label was not involved. "No, not at all," he said. "I would know if we were doing it."
Meanwhile, a royal family spokesman has added to the mystery over the chosen designer, stating, "We're not commenting on the specific designer for the dress, because Catherine Middleton wishes to keep the designer a secret until the wedding day."
It is usual practice for the designers of royal wedding dresses to be sworn to secrecy by the palace.
