She may be a member of the royal family but The Duchess of Cambridge still has a relatively down-to-earth-style.

The Duchess, née Kate Middleton, showed she can look the goods in high street labels when she stepped out to an engagement on Thursday wearing a £60 ($100) dress bought from department store Debenhams.

The 34-year-old topped the look off with her usual black accessories – the Stuart Weitzman suede pumps and the ‘Muse’ clutch from the same brand.

It appears Kate and her husband Prince William left their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte at home for the day as they visited St. Thomas’ Hospital in a bid to continue to raise awareness of mental health issues.

Kate’s black bird print dress was part of the Jonathan Saunders for his EDITION collaboration with the store and hasn’t been on sale since 2012 – which means for the Duchess, it’s an oldie but a goodie.

Stylish Kate is famous for donning favourite pieces multiple times and it has won praise from around the world. The Duchess is aware that royals wearing the same frock or jacket twice or even three times is no longer frowned upon.

Here are some of her most-worn outfits – all of which we love!
