Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is known for her impeccable style and has wowed an intrigued global audience in stunning creations since becoming an official member of the British royal family.

Her recent purchases include a 5,000-pound Alexander McQueen gown, a 3,750-pound Alice Temperley dress and a 2,875-pound Jenny Packham turquoise frock, The Sun tabloid reported.

The bill for Middleton's designer outfits is believed to have already run to 35,000 pounds since the beginning of the year.

Last year newlywed Kate, 30, claimed she did not want to become a "clothes horse" and opted for a 49 pounds Zara dress to head off on honeymoon.

 

But the bill for her upmarket fashion is being met by Charles. The cost of the latest royal recruit will soon be revealed as her father-in-law unveils his accounts for the first time since her wedding to William.

With William earning just 44,000 pounds a year as an RAF pilot, Charles agreed to pay for any clothes Kate wears for "work-related" events through his official Household budget, the report said. PTI
