Kate Middleton, 40, is lucky in that she will have staff at Windsor that can do food shops for her. However, this has not stopped the Duchess of Cambridge from going shopping from time to time. Kate has often had to use a very clever different name to stop a shopkeeper from recognising her.
Do Kate and Meghan shop for their own clothes? Yes! Both Kate and Markle have been spotted shopping alone, most notably at high street stores in London. Kate has been seen shopping at Zara, Gap, Jigsaw (she used to work there before marrying Prince William) and Peter Jones.
As you may have guessed, the answer is a big NO, according to designer Katherine Hooker (who has dressed the duchess on occasion). "She doesn't take free clothes, and I've heard that from other people who sent her things," Hooker told The Huffington Post.
After dropping the kids off at school, Kate will head out to do whatever errands need to be done. Surprisingly, she does all her shopping herself, even though she's a duchess. What is this? She uses her mornings to buy food for the family's daily meals at one of the upmarket grocers on Kensington High Street.
According to a royal source, Kate weighs around 8st 7lb and is a size six.
Kate Middleton has been known to wear clothes from Zara, Gap, ASOS, and Topshop. The clothes usually sell out immediately after she's spotted in them. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was just a regular career woman and mom of three.
British Royal Family, why did Kate Middleton lose so much weight? According to an article published by the Neue Post, the trigger of the sudden Kate Middleton weight loss would be the three pregnancies supported at a short distance from each other, which debilitated his already fragile physique.
The Princess of Wales reportedly goes to bed at 10.30pm every night to ensure she's refreshed for the day ahead, according to OK!. And to make sure she's comfortable before going to sleep, the future Queen Consort is said to be a fan of an early dinner around 6pm.
Despite not being King and Queen juuuuust yet, Kate and William have a huge staff thanks to their position as senior working royals—though unlike King Charles, their aides are not "men in gray" (the nickname given to the power players pulling the strings at The Firm).
Kate Middleton has been a style influencer since well before she married Prince William, but her effortless, understated beauty look is equally coveted by fans—and made all the more lovable by the fact that Middleton often does her own makeup, even on her wedding day.
No washing machines
Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla's clothes are not allowed to be cleaned in washing machines—everything is hand washed.
It's unlikely we'll see more senior members of the royal family, like the Queen, Prince Charles, or the Duchess of Cornwall frequenting their local grocery stores, royal expert and founder of the Royal Musings blog, Marlene Koenig, tells BAZAAR.com.
In the weeks leading up to the trip, it was Archer who called in an array of designer dresses and various accessories for the Duchess to choose from. Merchandise was delivered care of Archer to Kensington Palace with the understanding that anything Kate wore she would pay for. (No freebies allowed!)
Not only is Kate Middleton known for her exquisite taste, from her Alexander McQueen dresses to her festive Catherine Walker coats, but the Princess of Wales is also known for keeping those outfits in a steady rotation. It turns out, rewearing outfits is a do for the royals.
Kate Middleton seemingly never has a hair out of place and this is largely thanks to her long-time hair stylist Amanda Cook Tucker, who started working with the Duchess back in 2012.
As for the royal-bride-to-be, she spent her final 24-hours as a single civilian with her family including sister Pippa Middleton, brother James Middleton, and parents Carole and Michael Middleton at the London's five-star Goring Hotel. The Middletons booked out the entire Goring Hotel for the wedding.
And now we've discovered another rule the royals have to follow - and it's all to do with their bedtimes. According to Sir William Heseltine, one of Queen's private secretaries, when staying with Her Majesty, members of the royal family should wait until the Queen retires to bed before they also hit the hay.
Catherine suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, which causes severe vomiting, during her pregnancies.
However, there is no explicit evidence that Kate has any sort of eating disorder, and her weight loss has not been drastic enough to prompt any sort of formal intervention. Most of the world would agree that Kate Middleton is a beautiful and healthy woman, and plus or minus 10 pounds won't change that.
She also has tattoos on each of her wrists and a tiger on her left-hand shoulder blade. While she does not appear to have any permanent markings, Princess Kate has experimented with temporary tattoo designs before.
Enter Natasha Archer. Archer, the woman behind Kate Middleton's best looks, has also recently been helping Prince William in the sartorial department. Here's everything to know about the young royals' favourite stylist. Archer has been working with the Royal family since 2007, after graduating from King's College.
Sometimes she'll recycle outfits from years ago. (We'd love to know how many palace rooms are occupied by Kate's old clothing.) Still, even when she does rewear an outfit, she usually changes her accessories or shoes or some other detail to make the second look stand out.
Does Kate ever wear affordable dresses? Yes! The Princess has worn a number of dresses from affordable high street brands over the last twelve years, including Topshop, ASOS, Marks & Spencer and Zara. She's also worn dresses from brands I'd place on the upper-end of the high street, like Reiss, Massimo Dutti, L.K.
