    A royal bargain.

    All eyes were on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge yesterday as they attended the Commonwealth Games. Kate Middleton opted for an all-white power suit by Alexander McQueen for the occasion, however it was another outfit that stole the show.

    Princess Charlotte joined her parents for the exciting day out, wearing the sweetest blue dress by Rachel Riley. The best news? It's only £39.

    If you've read our guide to the clothes brands that the royal children love, you'll know that both Prince George and Princess Charlotte have been spotted in this brand before.
