Kate’s royal recycling
Recycled fashion

With jubilee celebrations kicking off today, all eyes are on what the Kate will wear. We are ridiculously excited to see her chosen outfit but we can't help wonder if she might pull out something we've seen before...
Following in the footsteps of the ultimate Royal recycler - the Queen herself - Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, has quite the back catalogue of garments she has worn before.
The Duchess of Cambridge isn't one of those royal types that wears an outfit once and throws it away. Instead, Kate recycles her outfits on a regular basis at high-profile events. It's not because she doesn't have options, though: designers were clamouring to outfit the new princess but Kate's message is clear: times are tough and you don't have to spend all your money on clothes to look fashionable.
We love her attitude and are hoping she pulls out that Reiss Shola dress (pictured) she wore to meet the President and Michelle Obama in 2011 for the Jubilee Thames Flotilla this Sunday - if not then it could be one of many of the garments she has recycled already.
Take a look through our gallery to see thrifty Kate's recycled wardrobe and what she might choose to wear again this weekend.

Economic crises - what economic crises! Yes, we really are all in this together!
When was it decided that to wear something more than once in a lifetime could be called "recycling"?

Catherine's wardrobe appears to consist of many interchangeable pieces, particularly regarding head and footwear. That is wise and fiscally sound for any young lady, especially one whose every new piece of clothing will be praised or criticized for it's expense and re-usability. I read one article that referred to her as "infamous" for recycling clothing...a practice that should be praised given these difficult financial times. Catherine should be left alone to make her own decisions about her personal dress, and when she displays fiscal restraint, I say "You go, girl. To thine own self be true."

Great to see that she does not follow in the foots steps of some of the Royals and is very down the earth. She does all the house work, not does not use "ones servents". discountu co uk

it is just that although we are all in it together the rich the politicians and royalty are all standing on the heads of the poor.

I should think that Kate has so many outfits that she cant remember WHAT she wore, when ??? Lots of advisors to remind her though.... I agree with Rachael, CALL THE FASHION POLICE !!! She can pass stuff on to me if she fancies, ha ha
