The designer behind the outfits worn by Prince George and Princess Charlotte at Pippa Middleton's wedding has spoken about the experience for the first time.
In 2017, Pippa commissioned Pepa London to create her bridal party's outfits, including those worn by page boy George and flower girl Charlotte.
Pepa González, founder of Pepa London, said: "It's been incredibly special and such an honour.
"Seeing Prince George and Princess Charlotte in our designs, especially during key family moments, has meant the world to us."

She added: "Knowing that our pieces were chosen for milestones in their lives is incredibly special. That's always been our dream: to make clothing that plays a role in meaningful family occasions."
González has now partnered with Historic Royal Palaces on a new royal-inspired children's collection.
The collaboration gave her team access to the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection at Hampton Court Palace, which contains 10,000 items of historic dress.
"When the opportunity came up to partner with Historic Royal Palaces, it just felt like such a natural match," González continued to tell Hello!. "Both of our organisations care deeply about heritage, craftsmanship and storytelling."

The collection drew particular inspiration from Liberty print floral dresses worn by Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, currently displayed at Kensington Palace's Dress Codes exhibition.
"You could almost feel the closeness between the sisters just by looking at the fabric, that sense of shared joy and family," González said.
The brand has a notable history with the young royals. Prince George wore a whale motif jumper from Pepa London in his third birthday portraits, whilst Princess Charlotte donned a blue smock dress with a pink bow from the label during her first royal tour to Canada in 2016.
The new Historic Royal Palaces collection launches in mid-July, available online, in-store and exclusively at Harrods. A portion of the proceeds will support Historic Royal Palaces.

González explained her design philosophy centres on creating pieces that can be treasured across generations. "For me, it's all about quality, simplicity and sentiment," she said.
The designer emphasised her commitment to traditional craftsmanship and natural fabrics. "That has always been our mission at Pepa London - to let children look like children," she said.
The new collection features soft pinks, baby blues and sage green, with signature elements including Peter Pan collars, hand-smocked dresses and tailored bloomers.
"When there's a little hand embroidery or a beautiful detail that feels personal, it becomes more than just clothing - it becomes part of a family's memory," González added.
