You can pretend you don't want to be her.

You can act like her hair isn't perfect.

You can roll your eyes at her Barbour jackets, L.K. Bennett dresses and her extremely English fascinators, but we all want to be Kate Middleton.

And now, you'll finally get the chance to... kind of.

While you might not be able to marry into the royal family like the Duchess of Cambridge did -- because I have dibs on Prince Harry -- you can certainly wear her clothes.

No, probably not her Lela Rose dresses or Stuart Weitzman shoes (if only), but you can almost definitely afford these Gap pants Kate wore last week to visit the Eden Project in Cornwall.

According to Refinery29, the duchess wore these $25 Bi-stretch Skinny Ankle Pants. Sadly, it appears the exact pattern Kate donned are sold out, but there are several other bright, preppy, relatively cheap colors and patterns ready for you to buy.

Personally, these pants aren't my style. But if Kate Middleton says they're chic, they're chic. I'm grabbing my credit card now and buying five of these, and I'll probably splurge on a Reiss jacket and two fascinators just because.

Now I'm one step closer to royalty. Thanks, Kate!
