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…
£6.50 Zeen dazzling ceramic drop earrings
These stunning, Pakistani-brand green earrings sold out after Kate wore them ahead of her royal tour of the country and again on an official visit to Bradford.
£5 Accessorize twisted circle drop earrings
The mum-of-three wore these bargain earrings in 2020 during royal tour of Ireland – matching them with an Oscar de la Renta dress at the Museum of Literature in Dublin – and on a video appearance with William.
£8 Accessorize polly petal drop earrings
Kate wore a different design from the super-affordable brand during a visit to the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in 2019, teaming them with a green Sandro dress and her trademark wedges.
£9.99 Zara animal print skirt
Zara superfan Kate wore a black turtleneck with a pleated leopard-print skirt from Zara while attending a baby sensory session in Cardiff in January 2020. The flattering skirt sold out overnight.
£4.50 White H&M ribbed off-the-shoulder top
Kate went casual at London’s Science Museum for her first Covid vaccine jab. She paired the simple white top with jeans.
£6 John Lewis barely there non-slip tights
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.
£9.99 Zara green floral dress
She was a picture in a purse-friendly floral Zara tea dress while chatting with judges for her National Portrait Gallery lockdown photography competition.
£1.50 Accessorize simple filigree short drop earrings
She first put these on for a visit to a children’s centre in Peckham, South London, in September 2019.
£10 ASOS 14-carat gold plated twist hoop earrings
Kate first wore them in May at the post-lockdown reopening of London’s V&A Museum.
