The Princess of Wales may have a wardrobe brimming with the most beautiful designer clothes, from Alexander McQueen to Mulberry, but she does have a penchant for a high-street fashion bargain (remember last year, when she rocked a Jigsaw hair bow on her coat?)
Well, one of her best high-street looks has to be the Topshop dress she sported back in 2013. The royal wore the fabulous white and black polka dot dress when she accompanied her husband, Prince William, and her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, to the Warner Bros. studios.
The royal trio had a wonderful time as they enjoyed the festivities at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, where they wielded wands and were enamored by the props on show.

The short-sleeved frock featured a skater-style skirt and a zip closure on the back and the price tag was £38 at the time of purchase.
When Kate wore the style, Topshop was one of Britain’s most prolific high-street brands, loved and highly regarded by so many.
Is Topshop back for 2025?
On Tuesday, the brand shared a teasing Instagram post, which was captioned with the elusive statement: "We missed you."
Fashion fans were quickly sent into overdrive, and headed to Topshop.com, which although looked to be reinstated, swiftly directed visitors to ASOS where the brand is currently stocked. This baffled everyone!
Topshop launched in the 1960s, and its flagship store in Oxford Circus opened its doors in 1992, and it was one of the most iconic stores in central London, with people flocking to grab a pair of jeans or a fancy dress on their lunch break.
