Americans can’t believe Kate Middleton wore the same coat 4 times – 9 very British reactions
Kate Middleton has caused something of a stir in America, not by saying anything controversial about Brexit, say, or Donald Trump.
In fact, not by saying anything at all. Just by doing this, according to New York Post gossip column (and site), Page Six.

she should have lit it on fire and hurled the ashes into the sea, as I do with each coat after one wear

You mean she owns a coat by one of the most lauded and legendary fashion designers of the last few decades?
AND SHE LIKES WEARING IT???
How dare she.

She only has 3,231 more wears to catch up to how many times I've worn this grey hoodie I got for $14.99 at Ross. Keep going, Kate! I believe in you.

I mean, how DARE she wear a coat more than once. I have 120 coats at home so I only have to wear them each ONCE.

This American joined in and it was almost lost in translation.
I’ve worn the pants I’m wearing 4 times.. this week.

In the UK "pants" = underwear.
In the US/AUS "pants" = trousers.
This might explain the odd responses you are getting!— Cris Birzer (@CrisBirzer) 28 September 2019
Oh well.. oops. I meant yoga pants lolz

And there was also this.
Not to be a royalist but remember when Princess Diana wore the same sweater/outfit repeatedly after coming from the gym so the paparazzi pics would be worth less and people would focus on things other than her clothes? pic.twitter.com/bm8pk3JJe3

Didn’t Daniel Radcliffe do the same thing as well? He wore the same clothes all the time so paparazzi would get annoyed
— Aaron Fogarty (@Aaron_Fogarty_) 28 September 2019
Apparently he did it so that it seemed that all the pictures were from the same day. The ultimate troll.
