We love this time of year! All our favourite royal ladies are out and about at summer events in their finery – Wimbledon, the polo, music festivals, and let's not forget the christening of the beautiful baby Archie Harrison. This is officially the week that Duchess Meghan launched herself back onto the social circuit. The former actress was spotted at both Wimbledon and the polo in Wokingham with little Archie – didn't they make the sweetest pair?

The Duchess of Cambridge is clearly in a pink mood right now, as she donned the colour twice this week, once at the polo and once for Archie Harrison's christening on Saturday. Kate looked stunning in a pussy-bow Stella McCartney dress (pictured above), fuchsia heels and matching coordinating Juliette Botterill headband.

It's summer dress central on Style Watch this week. We've seen bright hues, floral prints, stripes and geometric prints on the regal set, making us want to hit the shops for some copycat pieces.

Catch up on the latest royal outfits below…

She's back and she looks fantastic! Yes, Duchess Meghan is getting back into royal life following the birth of her first child, Archie Harrison. The wife of Prince Harry made an appearance at Wimbledon on Thursday dressed in a black tee by Lavender Hill Clothing, a linen pin-striped blazer by L'Agence and Outland Denim 'Harriet' jeans.

We loved Sophie's Wimbledon look this week. The wife of Prince Edward was fabulous in a chic blue dress by Peter Pilotto as she watched the tennis from the royal box. The vibrant outfit, called the 'Cloqué' dress, had a crew neckline, short sleeves and featured a pretty floral print.

The Netherlands Queen also surprised us on Wednesday in a cool boho-style maxi dress. Maxima is normally a fan of vibrant hues so it was great to see the royal trying out a different look on a visit to Bangladesh.

The Queen's granddaughter looked chic in a navy and white striped shirt dress by Sportmax at Wimbledon. Zara and her husband Mike Tindall surprised fans by swapping the Royal Box for the stands at the tournament. Nevertheless, the couple looked to enjoy their day at the sporting event.
