Prince Harry reveals he can’t get enough of TK Maxx sales

Last modified on Jan 13, 2023 09:55 GMT Prince Harry revealed in his book Spare that he often spent his clothing allowance from his dad, King Charles, in high street discount store TK Maxx.

There are many revelations in Prince Harry‘s new book Spare, but there are also some fun anecdotes about his life that really surprised us. One of them is the fact he actually shops at high street discount store TK Maxx! The Duke of Sussex has revealed that despite receiving an official clothing allowance from his father, King Charles, in his younger years, he would shop for his ‘everyday casual clothes’ in the bargain store.

The father-of-two quipped that he was “particularly fond” of the discount store’s annual sale, where he could buy designer items at cheaper prices. 

Harry revealed he buys his casual pieces in TK MAXX He wrote in his book: “Each year I received from Pa an official clothing allowance, but that was strictly for formal wear.

Suits and ties, ceremonial outfits. For my everyday casual clothes I’d go to TK Maxx, the discount store. I was particularly fond of their once-a-year sale, when they’d be flush with items from Gap or J Crew, items that had just gone out of season or were slightly damaged.”

TK Maxx though, disputes the sale claim. A spokesperson for the brand told The Express: “Whilst we’re delighted Prince Harry is a big fan, we thought we should explain we don’t actually do sales. Instead, we offer great value, style, and savings all year round.”

Prince William’s younger brother added that he would aim to get to the shop 15 minutes before closing time and work his way “systematically” down the racks. He said he never “dawdled over colour or style” and “certainly never went near a changing room”.



Harry also revealed his shopping tips!

He said “At closing time we would run out with two giant shopping bags, feeling triumphant,” he wrote.

“Now the papers wouldn’t call me a slob. At least for a little while.”
