Kate Middleton recycles outfits, does her own makeup, and had a very real post-baby bump just like an ordinary, average woman.

Now, here’s another reason to believe she really is just like us: over a month after giving birth, she’s still wearing maternity jeans and rocking a relatively fuller post-baby body.

Other celebrities and public figures would feel pressured to be back to their pre-pregnancy shape by this time, but Kate Middleton admirably feels none of that at all. As a result, to us, she’s never looked more fabulous, poised, and royal.

Check her out keepin’ it real at the Ring O’Fire Anglesey Coastal Ultra Marathon yesterday:

Yes, she still looks svelte and shapely, but that’s just further proof that Kate Middleton knows exactly how to dress her body, pre- or post-pregnancy. This is why we love the Duchess of Cambridge!

Always one for high-street labels, Kate Middleton’s jeans are these “Leigh” jeans from Topshop’s maternity line:

These have a built-in elastic band that can accommodate a baby bump as well as a post-pregnancy one. She wore them with Pied a Terre slingback wedges. Check out the non-maternity version of these Topshop Leigh jeans at Nordstrom.
