She always looks a million bucks, but the Duchess Catherine has proved she is a bargain hunter just like the rest of us!

The queen of style was spotted indulging in some retail therapy at the designer outlets at Bicester Village in Oxfordshire over the weekend.

Eyewitnesses say Catherine, 32, was all smiles as she went about her day and shopping up a storm, snagging a few bargains along the way.

The frugal fashion icon was seen sifting the sale racks of her favourite brands such as Temperley London, Jimmy Choo and Reiss, which were marked down up to 80 per cent.

She also checked out Ralph Lauren items and browsed some glamorous Valentino garments before picking up a pair of super-cute designer pyjama’s for Prince George and some cheap bathmats for their home.

She even stopped to speak with a few shoppers.
