When Rachel Riley first saw nine-month-old Prince George wearing her Sailboat Smocked Dungarees, she couldn't have foreseen the fame that would follow. George was accompanying his parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand in 2014 when he wore a total of four outfits from her brand. Recalling the pivotal moment, the designer told MailOnline: 'They were such momentous occasions in the world's press and it was so fun to see Prince George looking adorable wearing our outfits on the front page of every newspaper. 'The press described him as "Gorgeous George" and "Prince Charming"!' Fast forward ten years, and George's younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have worn Rachel's brand countless times, winning her global recognition. Charlotte's sixth birthday dress - which was characterised by pink and navy tones and contrasting ric-rac, buttons and bloomers - became an instant hit among royal enthusiasts. The £79 dress was the fastest-selling item in the brand's history, vanishing from stock within 12 hours.
