Give your little lord or lady the regal look

Ahead of the arrival of the new royal baby, Katie Wright selects the cutest kids’ fashion on the high street

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are due to welcome their third child next month, and speculation is rife over when exactly the baby will arrive (could it be St George’s Day?) and whether it will be a boy or girl (or even twins, as some overzealous bump-watchers have been theorising lately).

While we won’t know for definite until it happens, chances are, the new bundle of joy will be following in big brother Prince George and big sister Princess Charlotte’s footsteps in terms of what they wear.

Want to dress up your little prince or princess in a similar fashion? Here’s how to get the royal baby look on the high street...
