If there’s a print that has defined Kate Middleton's look this year, from lockdown video engagements to in-person royal visits, it is ditsy florals. The Duchess of Cambridge is a huge fan of the ditsy print, which is a pattern of scattered tiny flowers that was first popularised during the decades from the 1920s to the 1940s, giving it a vintage vibe for 2020.

Kate spent the summer months wearing a variety of beautiful floral dresses (and even wore a ditsy floral print face mask!), with each pretty frock quickly selling out. So we're going to help you snap up a Duchess Kate-inspired ditsy print dress from the likes of Marks & Spencer, Ghost, Boden, H&M and more, starting at just £29.99.

The Duchess of Cambridge has a whole collection of ditsy floral dresses in her wardrobe, including a blue Ghost look that she wore to clap for the NHS earlier this year

Kate has never shied away from a brilliant high street look, and we think this gorgeous ditsy print dress from H&M would look right at home in the Duchess of Cambridge's royal wardrobe. The purple floral look comes in sizes 4 to 22.

Duchess Kate is also a huge fan of Marks & Spencer, wearing a look from the popular retailer earlier this summer. M&S currently has another floral dress in stock that we wouldn’t be surprised to see Kate make an appearance in.

Meanwhile, the Duchess has at least two floral dresses from Ghost – the 'Anouk' model, which she wore when she and the Cambridges clapped for carers earlier this year, and the 'Avery' dress worn on a royal tour.

Kate recycled this L.K.Bennett 'Madison' dress, seen here when the Duchess attended a polo match with Prince Louis in 2019, for a video call during lockdown

And the fact that Ghost is one of the Duchess' favourite brands is why we’re almost 100 percent sure that the Ghost ‘Solene' dress would also catch her eye.
