As for Princess Michaels style, she says:

I would say that John Fowler had the most influence on my work as I studied the restoration of 17th and 18th century English manor houses. Once I married I had our apartment at Kensington Palace to re-decorate it had not been touched since basic restoration following a direct bomb hit during WWII and then our 17th century country house, Nether Lypiatt Manor in Gloucestershire, which was also in a quite dilapidated state.
