Duchess Kate has maintained an impressive, Beyonce-level commitment to high heels, even into her third trimester. Perfect and poised as she may be, we suspect she’ll soon be trading in those teetering shoes for more comfortable options. Below are 8 chic flats under $100 that are sure to please the expecting royal:
