Pretty in pink! There are so many beautiful shades of pink to pick from, and royals have lots of favourites. They use the versatile colour to showcase their individual styles at engagements from glitzy galas to more informal meetings.

Whether the ladies are in the softest ballet pink or in a head-turning fuchsia, they charm with their outfits.

Some royals, like Duchess Kate and the Queen regularly wear the feminine, uplifting colour. Others save pink pieces for special occasions when they want to create a memorable moment. Either way, the ensembles are a delight for royals fans.
