U.S. Vogue's editor-in-chief Asked Kate On The Magazine's Cover

As U.S. Vogue's editor-in-chief, it is likely that few people say no to Anna Wintour.

　　But one of the exceptions, it seems, is the Duchess of Cambridge, who the 61-year-old is said to be desperate to feature on the magazine's cover.

　　According to new reports, Ms Wintour has asked photographer Mario Testino to use his Royal connections to persuade Catherine, 29

　　Mr Testino who regularly shoots cover images for the title, and was a favourite with Princess Diana, has long been friends with Prince William.

　　He took the Royal couple's official engagement photographs last November, and it appears Ms Wintour hopes that taking advantage of this trusted relationship will give her an edge over rival titles.

　　The celebrated photographer's efforts may be in vain though. So far, the Duchess is believed to have already turned down the offer of a British Vogue cover.

　　Another source said: 'Every magazine has been trying to get Kate, and many assume it will eventually be Vogue. But even with the Mario Testino relationship, it is not clear when this will happen. The Palace must approve it, and they are very protective of Kate.

　　The Duchess of Cambridge has been feted by the fashion world since her engagement last year. Almost every item of clothing she wears sells out, and her wedding dress, by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, was hailed an important moment for British fashion. Even the hard-to-impress Ms Wintour is a fan: There’s nothing trashy or vulgar about her,' she has said. 'She dresses her age and never looks out of place.'
