Princess Charlotte Emulating Mom Kate Middleton May Have Benefitted Her in One Way, New Study Finds

When it comes to Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Prince William’s, Prince of Wales, children, fans have noticed quite a few things about the royal kids. While Prince George is his papa’s lookalike, Princess Charlotte has emulated her mother in so many ways, and then there’s Prince Louis, who’s living his best, expressive life. They’re so alike in so many ways, and are all so uniquely different. But a new study just found another way the three differ wildly: one of their net worths is above the other two.

It turns out Charlotte has a higher net worth than both of her brothers, according to a study done by the Mirror via Marie Claire. It turns out Charlotte has a net worth of £3.5 billion, while George has a net worth of £3.4 billion (and it’s unknown how much Louis is, but we do know it’s comparable). Now, why is Charlotte’s net worth higher? It’s thanks to her mother, specifically the “Kate Middleton effect.”

So, if you’re unaware of the “Kate Middleton effect,” it refers to how powerful her influence is on fashion, and how the pieces she wears often sell out (along with the lookalikes of it), per CNN, and it seems her daughter already has the chops for it!

Like her mother Kate, Charlotte already has the ability to “influence and boost the economy through her fashion choices,” per Marie Claire. Charlotte often wears designer pieces similar to her mother’s, such as Alexander McQueen and Zara. Truly, like mother, like daughter!

For those who don’t know, William and Kate married in 2011 after years together. Since then, they’ve welcomed three children named George, 9, Charlotte, 8, and Louis, 5.
