Being royal doesn't mean you'll turn up your nose to one of Ikea's simple, cost-effective pieces.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are currently on a visit to Sweden, during which they divulged they have furniture from the iconic Swedish brand in their home, Hello! Magazine reports.
Yesterday the pair visited ArkDes, Sweden's national centre for architecture, meeting power players from Ikea and other big brands, as well as up-and-coming designers.

Ikea's head of design, Marcus Engman, told reporters after the visit that Prince William and Kate said they use Ikea furniture in their children's rooms in Kensington Palace.
That's right, your little one might be sleeping in a bed or using a nightstand just like Prince George's or Princess Charlotte's!
Marcus said of the revelation, "I'm proud that we can suit everybody. That's what we want Ikea to be - for the many people of the world, both royalty and ordinary people."
We knew our beds were queen-size, but who knew they were fit for queens, too?

We wonder if Will and Kate will be breaking out another flat-pack for their next little bundle of joy's nursery!
The expectant mum due in April, so it's quite possible that the parents are already nesting.
Here are the real questions though: do the Duke and Duchess build the furniture themselves, and if so, does the inevitable fight break out?
We need answers!
