I vaguely rememeber that the person who helped with the Queen's wedding dress (silk) used her own UK silk but didn't make enough so had to import....Quote from website..."Fortunately Lady Zoe imported her silkworms from China - it would have been considered unpatriotic had Italian silkworms, so soon after WW2, been used for royal occasions." www.lullingstonecastle.co.uk/component/content/article/223xx
