When it comes to jewellery, Kate Middleton is all about keeping it classic and chic. Rarely spotted with a dramatic statement piece, instead she opts for more delicate, timeless items that she rewears again and again.

A perfect example are the Annoushka 18ct Gold Baroque Pearl Earring Drops, £425 here, which she often adds to simple gold hoops to take them to the next level and has been spotted wearing at more than 70 royal engagements since 2012.

The Princess of Wales has also frequently been spotted in a gold pair of the Simone Rocha Mini Heart Silver-Tone Faux Pearl Hoop Earrings, £225 here, which have a similar look with their ear-hugging hoops and dangling pearls.

Although we’re not quite ready to splash out quite so much on our earrings, thankfully the fashion world has got the memo, with plenty of affordable version available online for us to steal Kate's royal style for less.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite budget-friendly alternatives that give you Kate’s look without breaking the bank, with prices starting at just £4.
