So all those designer dresses you spot her in? Somebody's got to foot the bill.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0Limelight, the royal spokesperson added that Middleton &#8220;has a policy not to accept any free offers of clothing. We would never discuss the prices paid for individual items &#8211; these will remain private between the Duchess and the designers. She will not receive any special clothing budget for the Canada and California tour.&#8221; Basically, she has &#8220;private agreements&#8221; with designers,but she doesn't get any freebies.<\/p>\n<p>In the next few days, Prince Charles will be releasing his financial statements to the public (a mandatory \u00a0event in England), and apparently the bill for Kate Middleton's outfits (may have cost over $54,000 since the royal wedding), reportedly have come out of the family's &#8220;Household&#8221; budget, funded by his Duchy of Cornwall estate. With a wardrobe full of\u00a0designers like Alexander McQueen, Jenny Packham, Roland Mouret, and Matthew Williamson, you can imagine the price tags add up, but when you take a look at Anna Wintour's spending (Cond\u00e9 Nast apparently foots the bill for her makeup and hair on a daily basis, and she's rumored to have a $200,000 yearly clothing budget as was reported on &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/the-scene\/fashion\/Anna-Wintour-vs-Morley-Safer-on-60-Minutes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">60 Minutes<\/a>&#8221; in 2009), it's small potatoes.<\/p>\n<div>We speculate that she probably gets discounts (I mean, isn't everyone dying for her to wear their clothes?) and that she has other sources of income supplementing the costs besides the Prince's budget (William? Her parents?).<\/div>\n<p>We've brought up what to do with unwanted gifted items, but keep in mind, if you have no contractual obligation, you are not required to post, tweet, etc. about any product.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For those of us that aren't as lucky to get frequent gifted items, what percentage of your budget goes to the &#8220;fashion&#8221; part of your fashion blogging?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The duchess, unlike many celebrities, doesn&#8217;t accept free stuff.
