The 30-year-old royal recently went to the antiques fair on Welsh island Anglesey – where she and RAF helicopter pilot husband Prince William currently live – and seemed to be in fierce bartering mood.

Duchess Kate – AKA the Duchess of Cambridge or Kate Middleton – managed to get the price for the Imari vases down from £180 to £160.

Nick Bayliss, owner of Continuity Fairs, which runs the Anglesey outing, told the Antique TradeGazette: “We had sent out complimentary tickets to Prince William and the duchess for our May fair and again in October, and to my absolute delight in she comes with her party on the Sunday morning.”
