The royals do it too! It turns out a lot of Charlotte's things are hand-me-downs

We reckon it’s criminal not to get every last bit of wear out of kids’ clothes and toys and we’re glad to hear the royals think so as well.

Anyone with more than one child passes things down from one to the other and that goes for Kate Middleton and Prince William too.

A royal insider has revealed that the Cambridges held on to Prince George’s things for his younger sister Princess Charlotte.

“A lot of Charlotte’s toys are hand-me-downs from George,” a royal insider told Us Weekly.

“Although she’s definitely a girly girl, she also loves to play outside, just like George.

“She’s got one of his old scooters and also motorised Jeep she loves to drive around the patio in.”

Eagle-eyed fans of the royal family have also spotted that clothes are passed down in the family too.

Kensington Palace released new photos of the royal children over the weekend, including an adorable one of Charlotte and her baby brother Prince Louis.

In the photo, Charlotte is wearing a blue knit cardigan that Prince George wore in a family photograph released to mark Queen Elizabeth’s IIs 90th Birthday in April 2016.
