Royal fashion has always made international headlines and sparked interest with the public around the world. Whether it's Kate Middleton championing the Great British high street; or everything Meghan Markle wears selling out in seconds; Princess Diana's groundbreaking wardrobe; or the Queen's classic style and priceless jewellery; there will always be a fascination with royal fashion and the clothes that royal women choose to wear.

We know that what someone wears matters - particularly if they are of such a high-profile as the royal family - and so the women use this opportunity to shine a spotlight on brands and designers they think worthy of such a great platform, as well as to send a message about their own values. The Duchess of Cambridge is regularly seen rewearing her favourite styles in an attempt to promote circular fashion and a more sustainable way of dressing, while the Duchess of Sussex often uses her wardrobe to promote emerging talents and pieces by a diverse range of designers. The royal women are also cleverly adept at using their wardrobe to pay respect to a country or city that they are visiting, by showcasing the work of local designers.

But while their daily choices are interesting (and more shoppable), it's the formalwear that really makes the headlines; those fairytale dresses that remind the public that they are royalty - Queens, princesses and duchesses. Look back at some of the best royal gowns in history, here.
