Kate is known for her love of rowing, and Roberto Fiorito – co-host of the Royally Obsessed podcast – told Harper’s Bazaar that the Duchess has a machine of her own at home. It’s not known exactly which kind she has, but it would make sense that she has the best of the best – Hydrow, a rowing machine founded by US National Team Rowing Coach Bruce Smith and loved by fellow celebs Alex Scott and Kaley Cuoco (who we can both agree are super fit!)
Hydrow Rower, £2,460/$2,415, Hydrow
If Kate went for the full package, she’d get a Hydrow rower, the machine mat, a polar verity sense heart rate sensor, Jaybird Vista wireless headphones, a workout mat, yoga blocks, a multi-resistance band set and a foam roller, but it doesn’t come cheap.
Price: £2,460/$2,415 for one-off Hydrow Power Package

Charlotte obviously likes her Charlotte potatoes,” she explained. William, meanwhile, previously revealed that the couple also enjoys sushi.

According to the MailOnline, the mother-of-three likes to drink a nutrient-rich smoothie to start her day. The Duchess is said to blend a combination of kale, spirulina (a type of algae), matcha (green tea leaves), spinach, romaine, cilantro (coriander leaves) and blueberries together for her healthy morning drink.
Spirulina is the health-boosting ingredient that most jumps out from this blend. The nutrient-packed algae is said to be a powerful anti-inflammatory and has a bounty of reported benefits, including improving muscle strength and endurance – essential when you have such an intense workout schedule as the Duchess.

“Kate has a ton of antioxidants in [her smoothe], a ton of vitamins and minerals, and a ton of fibre – which make for a powerhouse of overall health”, says former royal nutritionist Jennifer Hanway. “Everything from the kale to the leafy greens is a really great source of nutrients.”
Total: £4.19/$5.46 for 20 servings, once a day = £76/$99 per year

Total: £55,526 or $72,229
