Kate Middleton is, without doubt, the ultimate royal influencer. Many jewellery and clothing brands rose in popularity due to the power of the so-called 'Kate effect'. But although she often dazzles, she also knows her way around everyday high street jewellery that is far more accessible than the Crown Jewels. Best of all, Kate Middleton's affordable jewellery is available to buy right now.
Although Kate's fashion is perhaps unattainable for many, her choice in jewellery is often surprisingly affordable. For today's visit to Southampton, she dug out one of her favourite pairs of pearl earrings from Shyla London, which are still available to buy for £72, which she wore with a designer dress from Alessandra Rich.

The balance between high end and high street is one she often gets right. For last week's visit to Royal Ascot, she wore a pair of earrings from Sézane, the high street brand that's been something of a go-to when she needs something head-turning, with a bespoke dress by Alexander McQueen. The exact earrings are sold out but there are plenty of other options that would make a similarly subtle statement, whether you're off to the races or simply looking to update your good old gold hoops.

She's also often spotted wearing pieces by contemporary jewellery brands, from Monica Vinader to Spells of Love to ASOS.
If you love her glamorous and elegant fashion you can buy many of Kate Middleton's affordable jewellery, including statement earrings and necklaces that she wears on repeat. Surprisingly, many of her favourite pieces come in under the £200 mark - not bad if you want to look like royalty for a fraction of the price.
Monica Vinader's Green Onyx Earrings, £115, are also one of the most popular pairs in Kate's collection, plus other pieces from the brand such as the Nura pearl necklace, £125.
