British Royal News says that he might be a prince that is worth millions, but sometimes he likes a good bargain deal like the rest of us. In his book, Spare, Prince Harry details his love for discount clothes and how he used to love shopping at the British discount retailer, TK Maxx. The American equivalent is, of course, TJ Maxx. Here’s what you need to know.
British Royal News: Prince Harry Details His Love For Discount Clothes At TK Maxx
In Spare, Harry writes, “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 T.K. 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. If you timed it just right, got there on the first day of the sale, you could snag the same clothes that others were paying top prices for down the high street! With two hundred quid you could look like a fashion plate.”
He also added, “Here, too, I had a system. Get to the shop fifteen minutes before closing time. Grab a red bucket. Hurry to the top floor. Begin systematically working up one rack and down another.”

Yet, according to The Independent, TK Maxx denied Prince Harry’s claim about shopping at the retailer during its yearly sales. “Whilst we’re delighted Prince Harry is a big fan, we thought we should explain we don’t actually do sales,” a spokesperson for the brand told Express. “Instead, we offer great value, style, and savings all year round.”
But TK Maxx does have sales, as they even tweet about their bargain sales during the beginning of each year. You’d think that this wasn’t such a big deal, yet it is. So far Buckingham Palace has not made any comments about the matter.
