One Is Not Amused — The Queen's Bra Fitter Loses Its Royal Warrant

15/01/2018 - 02:35 PM

Rigby & Peller, the luxury lingerie brand that has been fitting The Queen's bras for over three decades, has lost its royal warrant [1], the BBC confirms. It was withdrawn after the publication of a memoir titled Storm in a D-Cup by 82-year-old June Kenton, who had been the official corsetière at Buckingham Palace since the early '80s.

In the autobiography, which was published in March 2017, Mrs Kenton gave details about the royal bra fittings. She was told six months ago that the Palace "didn't like the book" and admitted being "very sad Buckingham Palace took exception to the story — it's a kind and gentle story about what went on in my life. I only ever said I went there, not what happened. I have never ever spoken about what I do there with her, or the Queen Mother or Princess Margaret."

In case someone from the Palace reads this, I'd personally like to put forward this comprehensive list of great French lingerie brands [3]. You never know — one might be in search for some new undergarments.
