Royal fans, please take note - If you’re a fan of the Princess of Wales' style, or if you want to pick up some of her tried and tested beauty products, you don’t need to go to a fancy boutique - some of her most loved products are actually available on Amazon!
Yes, you can grab Kate's must-have lippy, trusted trainers and even her perfect lightweight jacket with a click - and with speedy delivery too. Have I got your attention? Well you'll be glad to know that we’ve collated a list of her favourite products that you can buy on the online shopping portal. And because I shop Amazon for a living, I've taken a deep dive into the ratings and reviews section of each product so you can see what verified shoppers really think of the items she loves.
Kate has never mentioned publicly whether she shops on Amazon or not - though plenty of her tried and tested favourites are indeed available to buy on the online shopping portal, as this article proves.
In the past, Kate has been photographed getting the weekly shop in at Waitrose in Norfolk - on more than one occasion in fact - so we know from experience that she’s not averse to heading to the shops herself. And although she does work with personal stylists, she’s also been pictured out clothes shopping several times, most recently at the John Lewis-owned Peter Jones shopping centre in Chelsea.
With this in mind, can we see her browsing Amazon and clicking add to basket? Or is it more likely she and Prince William have an assistant who’s tasked with doing the shopping? It’s hard to say.
The couple does have a nanny, Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, who has been with them since Prnce George was eight months old, but shopping would not necessarily be part of her official duties unless buying items needed for the general care of the children. She trained at the elite Norland College in Bath, which is known for producing top-rate nannies. Their website states one of the duties as: “taking responsibility for the nanny purse and making sound judgements when purchasing items from the nanny purse, as well as obtaining a receipt and providing a fully detailed list of weekly expenses.”
