Kate Middleton may be savvy when it comes to recycling her wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean her designer duds come at less of a price.

In a new report, sources claim that the Duchess of Cambridge’s wardrobe this year cost $55,000, which her father-in-law, Prince Charles, paid for out-of-pocket.

Charles’ financial records are set to be released to the public this week, which will confirm where the money for Kate’s fashions came from. But it’s safe to say that with Prince William only bringing in about $69,000 a year for his work in the Royal Air Force, and his father bringing in over $30 million, you can guess who’s footing the bill.

Naturally, only ensembles used for work and royal appearances are taken care of by her father-in-law, but ya gotta hand it to her: the girl knows how to reuse and recycle.
