It’s thought Kate’s father-in-law has offered to take the cost of the Duchess’s designer dresses out of his official household budget.u00a0Which is quite generous, since it’s estimated Kate’s shopping bill totals up to more than £35,000 this year alone.


According to insiders, Kate has gone to great lengths to keep her clothing budget down, recycling dresses where she can, and shopping on the high street. Also, she has refused all offers of a stylist, and still chooses all her clothes herself.

“Katherine has an innate sense of style and, almost as importantly, knows what is appropriate for the occasion,” one insider said.u00a0“She is conscious that she is not yet a full-time working royal and feels it is pretty pointless, as well as extravagant, to have her own stylist.”u00a0
