Kate Middleton Shops at TK Maxx and Loves to Mix Designer and High Street

Kate Middleton Loves Bargain Shopping

January 14, 2011

You wouldn't associate a soon-to-be-royal with bargain hunting, but apparently that's exactly what Kate Middleton likes. Kate has been impressing us with a range of relatively savvy dresses since announcing her engagement back in November. This has included a Reiss dress in the official photo, which retailed for just £179.

One of her favourite shops is TK Maxx! I find it hard to imagine her trawling through the racks in there, but according to a source, "Believe it or not, Kate's favorite shop in the U.K. is TK-Maxx. She loves to shop for bargains, mixing and matching high street clothes and designer. She has a great eye for that."

Even the happy couples wedding plans are relatively economical compared to previous royal weddings. Are you surprised to learn this about Kate?

Why should it seem strange? Even if she has been dating Williams for a long time, this does not mean she gets large handouts of cash to shop. So designer freebies aside, her budget is that of a regular girl. And 179 is still not a "just 179" for most girls our age!
