Despite being a member of the royal family, Kate Middleton doesn't have a habit of spending lavishly or buying too many clothes for her children.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan, the British princess revealed that one of the reasons she often dresses her children in secondhand clothes is because she doesn't want to create a shopping frenzy for fashion designers or clothing brands. This action by Princess Kate contributes to the down-to-earth and approachable image of the royal family in the eyes of the public.
 |
| In fact, people often track down the clothing brands that Prince George and Princess Charlotte wear. Every picture of a new outfit released creates a shopping frenzy, causing them to sell out quickly. The young princess and prince were ranked second and fourth respectively by a British advertising company on a list of child celebrities with a strong influence on the global children's fashion market. |
 |
| From November last year (left) to this year, Princess Charlotte has been dressed by her mother in several floral dresses paired with light woolen cardigans. |
 |
| Prince George wore a matching blue shirt and shorts in June 2015 (left) and April of this year. The Duchess of Cambridge dresses her son in secondhand clothes because, according to her, modern members of the royal family are just like any other family. They often wear the same outfit repeatedly to save money. Even for family photoshoots, this is no exception. |
 |
| Besides that, the British princess dresses her children in hand-me-down clothes because she doesn't want them to be flashy or follow fashion trends. |
 |
| By choosing clothes from affordable and local brands, Kate Middleton lets her children live like normal children instead of becoming child fashion icons. This not only reflects the simplicity of the royal family but also helps stimulate the growth of smaller brands. |
 |
| By repeatedly wearing the same old clothes, the Duchess of Cambridge also minimizes media interference in her children's lives. The prince and princess are still young, and she doesn't want them to constantly be the center of attention or have their privacy disturbed. |
 |
| According to Kate, not dressing children in too many new clothes also creates a connection between the past and the present. At Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015, Duchess Kate dressed Prince George (right) in an embroidered shirt and red shorts that were quite similar to the outfit his father, Prince William (left), wore when he welcomed Prince Harry in 1984. |
