‘No purchases were made by the Duchess, although some were made by her friends.’
According to reports, pregnant Kate Middleton often visits the tiny antiques stores, as she sources furnishings for the royal nursery and two homes.
This comes after it was revealed Kate is planning a £1 million makeover of her planned nursery at the couple's London home, Kensington Palace.
It's thought an interior designer for the new 'baby suite' has already been appointed although the details of the creative in charge and the nursery's design have not been revealed.
In addition, William and Kate will also add a nursery to the sprawling Anmer Hall on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate which they are currently renovating.
It's believed the couple plan to use the country mansion, which boasts 10 rooms, including a new garden room, swimming pool and tennis court, as a country retreat, and for family weekends away from London.
