"Royals, they're just like us!" You've seen that headline enough to sometimes doubt it's authenticity. But never has this rang truer than when it comes to jeans. Like the rest of us, royal women wear, maybe even hoard, denim. Kate Middleton loves her skinny jeans while the Queen of Spain prefers a little flare. The Duchess of Cambridge has worn them on numerous occasions to public events and outings, as has her newly minted sister-in-law. So where do royals buy their go-to demin? We did a little research to find the exact brands and styles, and where we couldn't, we found similar options. Happy shopping!

For an eight-day visit to Canada, Kate broke out her black skinny jeans from Zara. If this fast fashion retailer is good enough for the royal, it's good enough for me. Luckily, Zara has plenty of black jeans in stock.

Howdy, Kate. The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William attended The Calgary Stampede Parade in 2011 and Kate's cowboy-inspired look was on theme. Though her Goldsign bootcut jeans have long sold out, we found a similar style you can add to your denim repertoire.
