Kate Middleton is admired for her impeccable style, and designers all over the world line up to dress the royal brunette.

So it's no suprise that during her recent trip to London, Kim Kardashian wanted to get a piece of the action.

The reality star and her famous sisters recently launched a fashion collection at Dorothy Perkins, and reportedly send the Duchess a load of free clothing, only to get them send straight back.

Thanks, but no thanks: Kim Kardashian send Kate Middleton a load of free clothes from her Kardashian Kollection at Dorothy Perkins, but the Duchess kindly declined

Thanks, but no thanks: Kim Kardashian reportedly send Kate Middleton free clothes from her latest Kollection, but the Duchess kindly declined the gifts

According to The Examiner, Kate politely declined to accept any of the free clothing received from the famous reality star.

The Kardashian Kollection features a lot of figure-hugging silhouettes, with leopard print and studs - not exactly appropriate for a member of the Royal family.

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

The source also said Kim invited Kate over for tea, in an attempt to get a new royal best friend out of her recent trip to London. But once again, the Duchess politely declined the offer.

A friend close to Miss Kardashian rubbished the claims and told MailOnline: 'Kim never asked Kate to lunch. She was there (in England) working for a few days.'

And another insider explained to the Daily Star earlier this week why Kim is so keen on getting closer to Kate.

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

And a link with the Royal family would have given them the stepping stone they wanted to be big in the UK, the insider continued:

'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 can wear it with one of her hats!': Kim recently spoke out about her love of the Duchess's style and how she'd love it if Kate would wear one of her signature leopard print bodycon mini-dresses

'She can wear it with one of her hats!': Kim recently said she'd love it if the Duchess would wear one of her signature leopard print figure-hugging mini-dresses from her line at high street retailer Dorothy Perkins

Speaking in a recent interview with Now magazine, Kim Kardashian gushed about how much she love's the Duchess's fashions style.

'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 of Kate Middleton told 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.'

A spokesperson for Kim Kardashian was not available for comment.

I believe that Kate, would probably use some of the pieces like for example the polka dotted jacket that Kourt is wearing in the last photo. She(Kate) sometimes steps out a little from her box. For the most part their style evokes as a commentator said more TOWIE vs. Sloane. Give the girls a break. Yes, a part of me thinks that their style is a bit much for a moderately conservative dresser, but they are out there. They are doing THEIR thing.

honestly even if Kardashian's collection is not that chic, when I see the duchess I think she looks older than she really is and have to wear grandma clothes for the rest of her life.... this is ridiculous... And so hypocrite..

I really couldn't imagine Kate in any of their range to be absolutely honest.

The Kardashian Kollection is really nice and fancy but not what the future Queen of England will wear, Kate Middleton looks lovely in the clothes she wears. I think this was all a plan to try and get more popular with the British, being friends with Royalty will up the Kardashian's fame.

The Kardashians would have to class up their look for Princess Kate to wear their stuff.
