We love a designer dupe but we never thought we’d see royalty wearing one! The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is no stranger to high street fashion and earlier this year she was spotted looking fabulous in a pair of affordable Adidas dupes from Marks & Spencer.

Where to buy Kate Middleton’s trainers
Unsurprisingly, the £29.50 trainers promptly sold out on the M&S website–but they’ve now come back in stock. That being said, you won’t be able to pick up the same colour scheme as Kate had as they’re no longer available in white and green. The black and white option is also sold out in all sizes.
Instead, you could opt for the Lace Up Ribbon Detail Trainers in cool Silver, which comes with a pretty pastel pink and baby blue stripe, or the bolder navy pair which comes with four coloured stripes in yellow, green, pink and silver. They’re available in sizes 3 to 8, including half sizes.
The Lace Up Ribbon Detail Trainers get quite mixed reviews on the Marks & Spencer website. Although many note that the trainers are stylish and comfy, several others seemed to have issues with comfort and some noted that the sizing came up large. It might be an idea to test these in store before buying if you can.
Kate Middleton’s style
While she’s often decked out in expensive designer gear, we’ve seen Kate Middleton in a number of high-street outfits recently - like this green Zara blazer and baby blue Boden cardigan. If you want to get your little one in trainers fit for royalty too, you can also pick up Prince Louis’ trainers from JD Sports for £25.
