What it costs Kate Middleton to look like Kate Middleton

For some one in her position, I find that is not that much to spend. She is a style setter, looking perfect all the time is nothing to sneeze at. Sure don't want her looking like some scruff. What does the Queen spend each year?

And what about tax payers money? Yes, she is great to look at-- but it is not her hard earned money-- someone else's. Atleast Hollywood actors work to get that money and spend on themselves. What work is Kate doing-- bathing topless and attending charities?

what do you care? why isi it imporatnrt to you? get on with your own life loser.

I agree with Murray. Please people don't feel jealous of this girl. Stop insulting her. She is in the spotlight and the wife of a Young Prince. Don't forget she is coming from a very loving and a very wealthy family too. So leave them alone and let them enjoy their lives the way they like.

Kate Middleton is a wannabe. Her parents' sent her to Scotland on purpose to meet Prince William because she's a loser back home and couldn't find a bf on her own. Now she's trying to become the next Princess Diana and SHE WILL NEVER MATCH HER OR BECOME HER!!! Princess Diana actually put herself second amongst everyone in this world. She was the only royal who actually did something selfless. Not like the royals these days in which all they do is spend other peoples' hard earned money while they shake hands and sit on their asses!!! If Kate ever becomes queen i'm glad she'll look like an old hag at that time because she doesn't deserve to be in the royal family. I hope you Prince William end up in divorce :)

You " You suck Middleton's!! " are a sick person ... Go and see a doctor and save your self. How come the people are becoming so stupid........

I'd say the public are getting a lot of such little amount as she is (you said it not me) an icon. She represents the UK when she goes out in public on events that if she had a choice she would not attend. So spending $160,000 for her to look stunning is quite cheap I'd say. I think she works hard for the little she gets out of it. After all she is good for business!

And another thing, I don't think you could pay most people enough money to do what some of the Royals do. So why don't some of you people who don't have a brain in your head but only air between your ears lay off the Royals. I'd lay odds that the people who grumble the most about the Royals are the ones that couldn't even do half the job they do without whinning about how hard it is and the Royals don't whine. They were born into a position they did not necessarily want but they do their duty and get on with it. So stop being a crybaby and if you really want to know I'd say you, Your suck Middleton's, are the wannabe's. I do think that you protest to much!

people need to leave her alone & stop being so negative.....no one is judgung ur life so dont judge hers......do unto others as u would like done to u! She is one of a kind & ppl love her for who she is!

thats judging!

I thought it was, "Do one to others before they do one to you".

Quote by b, "So spending $160,000 for her to look stunning is quite cheap I'd say."

Just listen to yourself here, you can't be serious, most people make much less than this in a year. Go get your head checked!!

the money she spends becomes the money somone else spends, perhaps feeding there kids, or some other worthy cause. so you see it realy doesnet matter how the money gets there. in fact the guy with the 25000 doller salary who saves almost every penney does far more harme.

Suck it up !!!!!!!!!!
Kate is wealthy in her own right, she has a husband who is also wealthy.
Kate also represents the Royal Family where what ever she does and because of who she is, will always be in the public eye.
Leave the girl alone she is doing a good job the people love Will, Kate and Harry.
Kate ill never replace Princess Diana the PRINCESS OF WALES., nor I suppose would she ever want to.
And Princess Diana will always be the Queen of Hearts for ever.
So......... Stop slagging off Kate. If 'you' keep on doing so, you will also offend William and Harry, who
will always be supported bu the majority of the British Public.

I believe William picked the correct Life Companion ( Wife ) in Kate. The British people will never forget Princess Diana but at the same time they now can look up to Kate, who, thank heavens, is not from that horrible Royal stock. Stability came to the Royal household starting with our past Queen Elizabeth, the Queen,s mother. Next we have our present Queen. I dont know what went wrong with Charles. Maybe he got dropped on his head by his nurse. Anyway, we now have William and Kate, who seem to be more like us. When our beloved Queen departs and the throne goes to Charles, I believe the people of England will rise up in such a protest that the Government will be forced to put William on the t6hrone instead in order to retain peace in the country. So what if Kate splurges her money on cosmetics and hair do,s She is keeping herself looking nice for our sakes.

In the begining she was saying we don't need any maids because wa want to everything ourself.It sounded very nice. Now spending 100s of doller on her her face and legs thats a big turn off.

I cannot believe how jealous some of these comments are sounding...and utterly immature....plus borderline hate mongering! Why does anyone want to throw vicious mud on this woman? She does such an awesome job at being the wife of Princess Diana's son. Surely you have more important issues to grouse about? If you don't then go hide back under that wet rock you crawled out from. Please. Do the rest of us a huge favour and disappear along with your comments.

I don't think any of the negative comments here have anything to do with jealousy. When somebody is carelessly spending public money (and the royal family's wealth is sourced from taxpayer money) people have a right to be critical about it. This is no different then any criticism leveled at any other politician who would spend so ridiculously at a time when much of the country is going through economic turmoil. Can somebody remind me again why we have this family of baffoons as our head of state in Canada?

I don't personally care what she spends on what as long as she gives some kind of good moral example to our children who so desparately need a good role model, and gives time and money to those in need. If she has leftover time and money after that that is her good fortune and good luck to her.

$160,000 and she still looks like this??!!

Even she spend such money, she looks very old for her age!

Just leave her alone,,,,,,,,,,,
They are going to destroy her life just like the same way they did with Diana.......

I think we should keep our personal opinions. Kate can do no right or wrong - people will always scrutinize. All she did was fall in love with an English Prince. You go, Kate!!

William was blessed to have met Kate. He treats her just as he treated his dear mom and that says a lot. They are doing a terrific job representing Canada and most of us love them. As for Charles.....what can one say? He didn't treat his wife with a whole lot of compassion and you can bet that won't happen with his sons !!!

I take offense at the comment beginning this ariticle...she is not the envy of every woman in the world. I certainly don't envy her and I happen to be a woman...

And how much does a Kardashian spend? Or a Hilton? I mean really? That little a year for being a symbol isn't much, especially considering she's a positive one and not a drunk mess.

right on, Dani! well said.

Seriously, I am going to say this right off the bat. It shouldn't cost $160,000 to look like that. Although she is a very beautiful woman -- I don't think it's right for anyone in the world to spend that. Money like that could be used for a better concern that making sure your highlights are right. Currently there are over 5 countries, and millions of child and adults starving, and in poverty. Perhaps the money going to our manicures should be spent on those topics.
Truthfully -- I do NOT believe Kate Middleton spends money like that. I know she is the dutchess of Cambridge but she is an extremely intelligent young woman.

@ Carlee: I think you hit it dead on... I highly doubt it costs her THAT MUCH and would not be surprised at all to learn that the whole thing was fabricated twaddle... the wardrobe costs I could see, because she wants to look her best, and represent British fashion as well... but the rest? Oh puh-leeze. Aussie Vogue is not known for it's high quality journalism, after all... And when the f@#$ would she have time for all this beauty treatment crap, and keep up her public appearance schedule?

1. I don't believe these numbers.
2. The Duchess is the First Lady of England in the media. You speak about her like she's the woman next door. Think about it.
3. Of course such public life costs but think about the charities the young couple supports!
