Many royal fashion fans would love a peek inside Princess Kate’s wardrobe — no doubt filled from floor to ceiling with elegant clothes, sparkling jewels, and various colour palettes. But it’s her handbag collection that truly stands out as the crown jewel.

The Princess of Wales, 43, consistently raises the bar with her style, and no matter the occasion, she remains ahead of the curve when it comes to curating her public outfits. Over the years, we’ve seen her carry a variety of designs, often with a strong emphasis on British labels.

From timeless Chanel classics in multiple colourways to elegant Mulberry handhelds and clutches, and standout DeMellier statement bags, Kate is steadily building a handbag collection worthy of royal fashion history.

Over the years, fashion watchers have identified at least 65 handbags in Princess Kate’s rotation — though it’s thought her actual collection could be nearly double that.

Reports suggest her handbags alone are worth an eye-watering £250,000, cementing her status as one of the world’s most closely watched style icons.

Her enviable collection spans a wide variety of styles, from elegant clutches and structured top-handles to versatile crossbodies which she is spotted donning on a rare occasion, roomy totes, and polished satchels.

Whether she’s attending a glittering state banquet or a low-key daytime engagement, Princess Kate always seems to have the perfect bag to complete her look.

Her carefully curated collection proves she understands the power of accessories to elevate an outfit, no matter the occasion.

She favours an array of luxury fashion houses, regularly stepping out with arm-candy from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Mulberry, Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada.

These investment pieces add instant polish and underscore her position as a global style icon. Yet what makes Kate’s handbag wardrobe especially intriguing is her knack for mixing high-end with more affordable British designers.

She often champions labels that blend luxury quality with high-street accessibility, giving her looks a distinctly relatable edge. Among her go-to favourites are Aspinal of London, L.K. Bennett, and Strathberry — brands that have seen a surge in popularity thanks to the so-called “Kate effect.”

There are no publicly available details about where the Royal Family stores their belongings, including clothing and accessories. It’s likely they have dedicated storage spaces within their residences, but this information is not disclosed.

Given the sheer scale of Kate’s wardrobe — from couture gowns to her extensive handbag collection, it’s safe to assume her storage solutions are as meticulously organised as her public appearances.

Although, it’s unlikely we will ever catch a glimpse inside her wardrobe, leaving royal fans only to imagine the treasure trove hidden behind palace doors.
