When it comes to Christmas gifts that are fit for a royal, why not go with gifts that are actually approved by a royal? Kate Middleton may not share a list of her favorite items each year (she’s not Oprah, after all), but with some simple sleuthing, we’ve figured out some of her go-to brands and products. From clothing and jewelry, to kids’ products and candles, there’s a little something for everyone on this list!

Essie 'Ballet Slippers' Nail Polish
Kate Middleton is known for keeping her nails very simple — she often doesn’t wear any color on her nails at all (just a clear polish). When she does opt for color, it’s reported that she goes with Queen Elizabeth’s favorite polish, Essie’s “Ballet Slippers,” a very pale pink.

When Kate shared an update on her cancer journey in September, she posted an emotional video of her summer spent playing with her kids in nature. In the video, she wears a blue denim dress, believed to be this inexpensive shirt dress from Roman!
Superga Sneakers
$70
from
Bloomingdale's
Kate Middleton’s casual outfits often feature plain white sneakers. Some of her favorites are these Superga Women’s 2750 Cotu Class Low Top Sneakers. It’s not just royals who love these shoes — celebs such as Priyanka Chopra, Hailey Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski, and Chrissy Teigen have all been spotted wearing these classic sneakers.
Plum & Ashby Candle
$41
from
Plum & Ashby
During Baby Loss Awareness Week in October, Kate posted a photo of this Wave of Light candle from Plum & Ashby, writing, “Baby Loss Awareness Week is such an important moment to support those who have experienced the devastation of baby loss. Sending love, strength and hope to anyone affected.”
This royal-approved candle features scents of fresh fig and jasmine, and the candle comes with a “remembering card” to honor the loss.
Laura Lombardi Gold Portrait Necklace
$188
from
Laura Lombardi
In 2022, Kate Middleton wore this gorgeous gold necklace while attending a basketball game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat in Boston. She has been spotted wearing the necklace other times as well, so it’s safe to say this is princess-approved.
Clarins Lip Perfector Sheer Lip Gloss
At Wimbledon in 2019, Kate Middleton was spotted applying this Clarins lip gloss in the shade Rose Shimmer. This plumping lip gloss has a sheer, shimmery finish, and the formula is hydrating and softening. It’s no wonder the princess loves this neutral gloss.
Frog Balance Bike
$305
from
Frog Bikes
In Prince Louis’ third birthday photo, he’s riding a balance bike while on his way to his first day of nursery school. Upon closer inspection, the bike he’s riding is from Frog Bikes (seemingly the Tadpole bike). Because moms are usually the ones who choose (or at least approve) their bikes, it’s safe to assume this bike is a winner in Kate’s eyes.
Fujifilm X-T3 Camera
Kate “has longstanding interest in the visual arts, photography, design and textiles,” according to her royal biography. She often shares her photos on the @princeandprincessofwales Instagram account, usually for her kids’ birthdays!
The princess uses a few different cameras, but her go-to camera is a Fujifilm X-T3, as seen in this image. Although it’s an expensive gift, it takes truly beautiful photographs.
LuluLemon Define Jacket
Ray-Ban Kids' Sunglasses
During Wimbledon 2024, Kate was spotted with daughter Princess Charlotte, who was sporting adorable pink sunglasses. The exact glasses she was wearing were these transparent pink Ray-Bans. Charlotte wore them as sunglasses, but they’re also available as prescription lenses.
Pink Charm Earrings
Kate Middleton loves these simple pink charm hoop earrings from Missoma. The delicate earrings are made with 18k gold plated vermeil and feature a rhodochrosite stone. The princess first wore these earrings in 2020, and they’ve been in her rotation ever since.
La Coqueta Baby Clothes
$74.25
from
La Coqueta
Prince Louis is known for his adorable outfits (and silly antics). Many of the young prince’s outfits are from La Coqueta, so it’s clear the brand is one of Kate Middleton’s favorites. Boy moms know how tough it can be to find actually cute boys’ outfits (that aren’t covered in trucks or dinosaurs), but the princess definitely knows how to style her sons to look posh.
Rainbow Umbrella
In 2021, the princess used a fun rainbow umbrella on her way to a reception to meet parents using a Centre for Early Childhood on the grounds of Kensington Palace. Kate knows the importance of early childhood education and she loves kids, so it’s no surprise she used such a colorful umbrella for that event.
