Thrifty Kate Middleton's best bargains - including £1.50 high street earrings

Let's ear it for “Thrifty Kate” Middleton, the royals’ finest bargain hunter.

The Duchess of Cambridge ’s eye for a great deal was in evidence again this week when she was spotted wearing a pair of £2.10 Accessorize earrings.

Kate, 40 this month, put on the stylish mini hammered doorknocker hoop earrings from the high street favourite for a visit to London’s Foundling Museum with hubby Prince William, 39.

Originally priced at £7, the earrings were slashed to just £2.10. Like many things the Duchess wears, they then quickly sold out online.

And it’s certainly not the first time she’s worn a bargain. Here are Kate’s 10 best looks for under a tenner…

The Duchess loves to team her stylish dresses with some barely there non-slip tights from John Lewis. The sheer tights are ­very flattering and, apparently, they also help to stop Kate’s shoes slipping off.
