The lack of children's birthday party supplies inspired the idea.

The business has been badly hit by the cost-of-living crisis in the UK.

According to a source, the company experienced a "terrible Christmas", which was made worse by postal strikes.

Mrs. Middleton has requested 90 days for Party Pieces to pay suppliers instead of 30.
