£176,664 spent on Princess Kate to cover 138 engagements

Princess Kate wore £176,664 worth of clothing for 138 engagements in 2022.

How do you feel about this?

Kate's most expensive fashion year yet! Princess of Wales wore a record £176,664 worth of new clothes in 2022

My understanding is she wears almost all british clothing brands which is a massive international advert for our fashion industry, she wears something it sells out. As pp have said this isn't paid for the tax payer and although they do pay for the stuff I'm sure there are discounts and I know she also re wears items/outfits (which people then slate them for so they cant win really)

Kate wears a lot of high street brands, Hobbs, Jigsaw, Accessorize, LK Bennett, Reiss, Zara (also Mango). She wears small British brands, and occasional higher end designers for special events.

Because she isn't a princess by birth and hasn't been created a princess in her own right. She is the Princess of Wales. She could style herself 'Princess William' but not 'Princess Catherine'.

Ok, i'll still call her Princess Kate, don't think she'll mind.

Indeed, she wouldn't give a flying fuck.

Because she’s not a princess in her own right. Do you really not know this?

Princess Kate, Princess Meghan - no harm done, is there?

Anyway, most don't care, happy days!

How can it possibly bother you so much - people have different needs and different budgets - this whole attitude of not spending money because not everyone can afford it is ridiculous.

Well seeing as late is married to one of the kings sons same as Meghan, that must make her a celebrity too.
back to the thread. It’s an obscene amount to spend on clothes. She doesn’t do that much, so madness.
but in a way the public are partly to blame the as they bang on about what she wear’s

Hmm, no one can be said to need £179k worth of clothes in a year - even if they started with no clothes at all, which the PoW certainly did not.

OP you’re so boring. Stop trying to create drama. More M&H PR crap.

It is disgusting - there is no such thing as 'their own pockets' for the RF - everything they have ultimately was funded by the people of this country.

She represents England. She uses a fair amount of UK designers. What do you expect her to wear? Either she is spending too much or she is looking too drab and high street. Can't win can she?

Oh, don't say that about your own thread OP it's really not that bad

I'm talking about the responders, they don't seem bothered.

It bothers me. The thought of that layabout (see the other thread on here showing that, even within her realm of privilege, the PoW does very little) indulging her vanity by spending £1000s on clothes while many ordinary folk are sitting in freezing cold houses because they can't afford their heating bills makes me feel sick, actually.

Can’t disagree with that at all.

Hardly a fair comparison, the engagement dress was a special buy for a special occasion, am sure Kate's engagement dress was just as expensive. Why drag Meghan into this thread 🙄 if my FIL was KC to be fair I'd take advantage of the fact he was willing to pay for my clothes and wouldn't go to Primark 🤷

Katherine’s engagement dress was £385

Really?

Prince Harry’s wedding and Archie’s baptism photographs were not only taken for free the photographer also has no copyright over them.

@Anotherbloomingchristmas

Given the thread, was referring to clothes, accessories and related accoutrements. I hope that clarifies things.

Am a little puzzled why you would mention Prince Harry and photograph in a thread about the Princess of Wales' clothing?

I would have expected her clothing’s costs to be much higher, tbh. Some celebrities wear activewear/sportswear that sells for hundreds per item, like customized hoodies. I just did a quick Google and even plain designer leggings can sell for £200-£500.

She looks stylish, reuses clothing, and supports British designers. I don’t have a problem with it.

And other Countries contributed to their wealth, do not forget.

Indeed @LadyKenya , good correction.
