Britain's Princess Charlotte will be worth £1 billion to the economy.
The newborn tot will reportedly rake in the staggering sum by the age of 10 and has already boosted the economy by £80 million since she was welcomed by her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, on Saturday (02.05.15).
Author and fashion consultant Patricia Davidson told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Everybody will be watching what she's wearing.
"When Kate buys dresses for her daughter, other people will follow suit. Just as they copy what Kate wears.
"There is a lot more fun in little girls' clothes than there is in boys' clothes. People love little girls' dresses.
"And when she becomes a teenager and comes to pick her own clothes, girls will want to pick the same thing or go to the same designer."
Although Patricia insists it won't just be people copying the stylish youngster which will boost the economy.
Raised spirits following the birth are also said to have led to an increase in the purchase of other goods.
She said: "She won't just be affecting sales of children's clothes. With the new arrival, people are very happy so they will go out and spend money."
The sale of commemorative merchandise issued to mark the birth will also go someway towards the £1 billion figure with the Royal Collection Trust having released it's own official royal baby range, including plates and cups, to be sold in gift stores and online.

The royal couple are reportedly set to head to their country retreat on the Queen's Sandringham Estate where they will spend time together for the first time as a family of four, reports HELLO! magazine.
Duchess Catherine, 33, who gave birth to Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana on Saturday (02.05.15), will be joined by her husband Prince William, 32, who is on paternity leave from his helicopter ambulance training, to travel up to their expansive Norfolk property which recently underwent extensive refurbishments, adding a swimming pool, tennis court and conservatory.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge won't call their new baby girl Diana, a friend has claimed.
The new princess was born at 8.34am yesterday (02.05.15) morning and a pal of the royal couple has said they are unlikely to use the baby's name to pay tribute to Prince William's late mother.
The insider told PEOPLE magazine: "I think they're more traditional than that. I would think they would go with a more royal name. I love the idea of Alice.
"I wouldn't read anything into [them not using Diana] - just that they'll go for a royal name."
With the bookmakers, Charlotte is currently the favourite name for the royal baby, who is fourth in line to the throne.
British bookmaker Paddy Power slashed the odds last night (02.05.15) to 3/1, whilst Alice is second favourite with odds of 4/1.
Elsewhere in the top 10 favourite names, it includes tributes to the little tot's great grandmother, with Elizabeth (8/1) and Diana, which is at odds of 10/1.
Victoria (5/1), Olivia (5/1), Alexandra (14/1) and Mary (20/1) also made the top ten.
Prince William, Kate Middleton, their 21-month-old son Prince George and the newborn have been at Kensington Palace, London today (03.05.15) where they have received visits from the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall as well as the Middleton family - Kate's parents Michael and Carole and sister Pippa.
