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…
