The Princess of Wales‘ clubbing days may be long behind her, but once upon a time, the royal was no stranger to London’s most exclusive nightclubs.
From flitting between Mahiki in the city’s ritzy Mayfair to bundling into cabs after hitting the dancefloor at Boujis, Prince William‘s bride-to-be Kate Middleton was quite the partier before she officially joined the British royal family.
And with the Princess’ nightclub era came her party girl wardrobe, a far cry from her now pristine and polished appearance and impeccable dress sense.
The Princess of Wales’ long forgotten-about mini skirts, glitzy bodysuits and thigh-split dresses are now a relic of her former lifestyle, but a telling insight into her playful side that won Prince William’s heart.

Keeping it simple, postgraduate Kate wore her brunette hair in glossy waves, adding her signature heavy eyeliner look and golden bronzer to accentuate her natural features.

According to Robert Jobson’s book, Catherine, The Princess of Wales, the journalist writes: “[William] celebrated their break-up with an alcohol-fuelled night at the Mahiki nightclub in Mayfair with his close pals. ‘I’m free!’ he shouted as he slipped into a drunken version of the robot dance.
“He then told his friends that they should all ‘drink the menu’, which they more or less ended up doing.”
