Kate Middleton

The British royal is known for championing high street as well as designer fashion, but didn't accept a package sent by the reality TV star and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney from their new Dorothy Perkins range.

A source told The Examiner magazine: "Kate is hardly going to turn up for an event with the queen in a cheap leopard-print miniskirt or gold sequined jacket."

Kim was also said to be keen to meet with Catherine - known as Kate Middleton before marrying Prince William - while she was recently in London, inviting her for tea.

A source said: "The Kardashians want to be as big in the UK as they are in America, and think associating themselves with the Royals, especially Kate, will help them achieve that.

"She hoped Kate might be seen wearing one of the designs out in public, which would give their fashion credentials a huge boost."

Kim, 32, has been vocal about how much she loves Catherine's fashion choices in the past.

She said: "Kate seems like a really sweet person and she's a princess. We love her sense of fashion. She could wear our looks and team it with one of her hats."

A representative for the Duchess made clear most gifts she is sent are returned.

They told website MailOnline: "In general terms, the policy of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is not to accept any unsolicited gifts unless the sender is known personally to His or Her Royal Highness.

"Any such gifts are returned to the sender with thanks and an explanation of Their Royal Highnesses' policy."

Bhi' an-chiall ag Kate Middleton "brato'ga e'adaigh" na Kardashians a dhiu'ltu'. Kate Middleton had the great sense to refuse the Kardashians' "rags".

I had to read this twice and check the date to make sure it wasn't April 1. The Kartrashians want to be BFFs with the Duchess of Cambridge? What unmitigated gall! The pregnant one probably thinks they have a lot in common, what with them both being preggers at the same time. The Duchess has clothes made for her by designers like Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. I love Alexander McQueen, but I have to save up to buy a scarf. I‘d love to buy a purse, but I’d have to weigh that against a year’s supply of food for my children. On the other hand, Kartrashians are having a hard time getting clothes from real designers for photo shoots as designers don’t want the world to think their clothing and accessories are trampy. Or, as said in an issue of Runway Magazine, “The world of fashion does not think much of Kim Kardashian.” I’m sure behind palace walls, though, Wills and Kate will be having a big laugh over this. What’s next? Kartrashian offering the Duchess the name of her tattoo artist so that the Duchess can get a trampstamp that matches Kartrashian? This story was funny for about one minute. Then it got just plain disgusting. The Royal Family is here to STAY. The Kartrashians need to STAY AWAY!

I am American, and I am SO glad that the Duchess returned the Kardashian rags; hope she sent them COD. I loathe the Kardashians and everything they stand for and wish they'd just go away. Their show is as much a "reality show" as SpongeBob SquarePants. And far less entertaining.

Some people really do live in a world of their own. Do some of these seedy lowlife American celebrities really think that the princess is going to wear their clothing line - and therefore increase their sales and respectability. LOL. What a narcissist! It really makes me embarrassed to be an American sometimes!

I can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me. About a year ago I my partner split up, we had both made BIG mistakes in our relationship. He ended up moving away from me to pursue a new life. I knew in my heart that he would be the only one to make me happy. I was relieved when I found your email on a site about what you have done. I requested 1 to 2 day casting of the reunite us love spell and within 3days mark company had relocated him back to our hometown where I still lived. We immediately reconnected and move in with each other. Our wedding date is set for Summer 2012. Expect to see your invite in the mail thanks to upesaspelltemple@gmail.com
