Prince William and Kate Middleton spent eight days touring Belize, Jamaica, and Bahamas.

Throughout the tour, Prince William and Kate Middleton faced protests, pr missteps, and other calamities.

But how much did Kate Middleton spent on clothes and accessories?

Based on the new 13 outfits Kate Middleton wore, it was easy to guesstimate that she spent $300,000 on new clothes and accessories.

Why?

On average, each new dress cost $10,000 dollars while the additional new accessories (shoes, earrings, necklaces, etc.) totaled $13,000.

(Again this is only a guesstimate. Actual figures are most likely higher.)

But. Keep in mind Kate Middleton wore no clothes or accessories made from Caribbean people.

But. Keep in mind the purpose of the tour was to highlight the importance of maintaining the Commonwealth.

But what was the result of the tour?

Prince William and Kate Middleton‘s tour failed to make a positive impact. Belize and Jamaica will be proceeding with plans to become republics and will be removing Queen Elizabeth as their head of state.

While it may seem minor, if only Kate Middleton thought about highlighting Caribbean designers.

It’s common sense to support the country you are visiting.

So why wouldn’t the future-future Queen Kate Middleton think about supporting business in the Commonwealth?

Does that mean Kate Middleton doesn’t care about the thoughts, feelings, and futures of the people Queen Elizabeth ‘holds so dear’?

But what will be the lasting legacy of this tour?

The deliberate choice to invoke colonialism nostalgia.
