The Duchess of Cambridge's parents have come under fire for selling 'killer clown' costumes on their website.
Carole and Michael Middleton's business, Party Pieces, has five different Halloween outfits on sale, aimed at children as young as FOUR.
But the royal in-laws have been slammed by victims of the terrifying clown craze sweeping the country as police urged sellers to withdraw the fancy dress from sale.
The clown costumes include a 'Deluxe Sinister Clown' for £18.99 complete with “a bloodied jumpsuit and terrifying mask with open brain”.
A 'Sideshow Clown' costume features sinister clown mask with a a black and red tattered shirt.
A £43.99 'Scary Clown Costume', for children as young as seven, boasts "he's the scariest clown around".
Party Pieces also offers a £28.99 adult Clown Partysuit with blood-stained orange striped suit and a “menacing evil clown face”.
The website, run by the Middleton's since 1987, has been slammed by a teenager, who was almost blinded after a thug dressed as a clown threw a branch at his face, leaving him needing stitches.
Owen Russell, 17, told The Sun: "It’s disgraceful that these costumes are still being sold, especially by a family with links to the royals.
"They’re supporting the craze. It’s highly irresponsible. People are being terrorised and assaulted, and someone will get killed."
It comes just a day after the Middletons were among a number of retailer slammed by worried mums for selling sickening Halloween costumes aimed at young children.
High street shops and websites are marketing outfits at children that include Jack the Ripper, the possessed girl from horror movie The Exorcist, and a 'dead pet'.
The "inappropriate" costumes include a 'roadkill' bodysuit which is sold by Party Pieces.
