And you thought she seemed like the girl next door. Kate Middleton, aka the Duchess of Cambridge, is thought to have spent at least $54,593 on clothing since the beginning of the year, The Daily Mail reports. Wait for the :47 mark in the video below to find out who's footing the bill!
But it seems like Kate is damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Kate has been criticized for wearing lower-end lines like Zara and for repeating outfits. And when she spends a lot of money on couture, people get mad about that, too!
In fact, according to the Mail, Kate refuses to accept the hundreds of free garments designers send to her every month. Why are they doing this? When Kate wears something, it almost immediately sells out in what has been called "The Kate Effect." Clearly, Kate doesn't feel a need to offer free advertising for anyone!
In fact, when you break it down, $54,593 divided by six months equals about $9,099 a month. That's a lot for regular folks, but when you have black-tie events practically every weekend, like the Queen's Jubilee -- and you're representing the royal family -- maybe it's not so outrageous ...

+10Bur hey, if I was a member of the Royal Family I'd spend that much too! Everyone would! They're just jealous because she can. Thats why they bitch when she spends too little, and they bitch when she spends too much. I think she looks beautiful, and with the people she has her Sunday dinner with, I'm not surprised she spends so much :o
Although I'm British I'd happily do away with the royal family or the parasites of the tax payer as they're affectionately known round here.
Who the hell are WE to judge her anyway??? Aren't there more important issues in our own country???
If I had her budget I would be buying tons of clothes as well. Clothes, shoes and watches are my fetishes.
I don't know what the clothing budget is for any royal anywhere in the world, so I don't know whether Kate's expenses so far this year are high or not -- do you, SH? I'll bet the Jubilee took a bit of extra. And The Daily Mail is a rag. :)
