The Kate Middleton shopping guide. Here's how you can channel your inner Princess Kate...
Princess Kate loves her designer threads her high street pieces in equal measure. If you want to replikate, we've created a pop-up shop of her favourite brands for you to browse. Perfect if you want to treat yourself just like a royal would.
The 41-year-old famously has her own unique sense of style, and rarely puts a foot wrong. The mum-of-three has stayed loyal to a lot of fashion brands over the years in the royal spotlight - from Reiss to LK Bennett and Alexander McQueen, but in recent years has enjoyed discovering newer designers to wear. For example, Kate has become quite the collector of Alessandra Rich dresses. The fashion designer is known for her playful polka-dot midis and vintage-inspired gowns and Kate has obviously become quite the fan.

As well as perusing online, Kate and her personal stylist Natasha Archer will have strong relationships with brands and will likely co-ordinate bespoke pieces for her to wear.

Who is Kate Middleton's stylist?
Princess Kate's stylist is Natasha Archer, and is affectionately known as 'Tash' to the family. She began working as a PA in Prince William and Kate's office in 2007 and she secured the role of style advisor back in 2014. She has received a Royal Victorian Order for her contributions to the royal family.
"Initially Kate was a reluctant fashion icon, but now she enjoys it. Tash helps source some of the clothes. She shops a lot for Kate online, and calls in hundreds of dresses for Kate to try on," an insider previously told Vanity Fair.
"She has persuaded Kate to take some more risks. The hemlines are shorter and Kate’s really pushing the boat out in the fashion stakes."
Her partner is also in the royal’s trusted circle - she is married to Getty’s royal photographer, Chris Jackson, who has shot many intimate portraits of the family.
