From one Kate Middleton fan to the next, here's how you can shop her best spring jackets — for less!
Get royal-approved style without the royal budget.
If you were to sneak a peek into the Yahoo Canada's shopping editors' Slack chat, you would find many, many mentions of Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales, alongside her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, are both hot topics of conversation in our work conversations. I, for one, am a years-long Kate Middleton stan and will sing her praises until I'm blue in the face. On the other hand, my colleague, who modelled her engagement photoshoot after the "With Love, Meghan" star, is Meghan's no.1 defender and will staunchly object to any negative criticism of the actress.
