It may be Blue Monday, but that doesn't mean your January has to be glum. Brighten up your day with these fabulous photos of the royals rocking the beautiful hue.
Blue is the official royal colour, so it's not surprising that members of the family love to frequently wear it. Whether it's a fresh take on pastel shades of blue, deep navy or vibrant sapphire, it's a refreshingly easy colour to wear that has all the airs and graces of a regal tone. Keep scrolling to see how some of your favourite royals wear it; from the Duchess of Cambridge to the Queen…
The Duchess of Cambridge
Kate was glowing at the launch of The National Emergencies Trust in a navy blue Emilia Wickstead dress. The fit-and-flare frock featured a flattering belt and she matched the dark blue dress with her iconic sapphire engagement ring.

The Countess Of Wessex
Sophie attended the Sovereign's Parade in a gorgeous bright blue hue. The Suzannah London coat fell to the Countess's ankles, ideal for shielding against the cold and came with a flattering waist belt detail.
The Duchess of Sussex
We've started calling this vibrant turquoise shade 'Meghan Markle blue'!
Meghan chose this memorable Victoria Beckham dress for her return to the UK after she and Harry decided to step back from their official royal roles in March 2020.
Queen Letizia
Queen Letizia gave us the best of both worlds when she wowed with a floor-length cobalt blue coat dress at the Miltary Parade in January 2020. The practical but stylish dress came with a V neckline and thigh split, buttoned together with a floral jewel.

It's safe to say that Kate looked incredible during the 2019 royal tour of Pakistan.
One of our favourite outfits she wore was at a school in central Islamabad, where she greeted school children wearing a periwinkle kurta - a loose collarless shirt worn in many regions of South Asia - with hand-embroidered detailing, which she teamed with matching trousers, and a scarf, all created by local designer Maheen Khan.
She completed her look with suede low-block heeled shoes in tan from New Look, costing just £23.99.

Sophie was the Queen of Royal Ascot on Ladies Day in June 2019 in a fashion-forward navy jumpsuit by Emilia Wickstead. The £1,500 ensemble featured flared trousers with front pleats, and cinched in at the waist with a buckled belt. Sophie accessorised with a studded clutch, heels and a co-ordinating hat.
The Duchess of Cambridge
Royal blue is a colour that suits Kate perfectly - but sometimes we like seeing her switch it up for pastel tones. On the first day of the royal tour of Pakistan, the mother-of-three looked fresh from her flight on the RAF Voyager aircraft in light blue shalwar kameez. We loved the striking cowl-neck.
Princesses Beatrice and Eugneie
What a stylish duo! Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie looked super chic on the first day of Royal Ascot in 2019, both opting for blue dresses. Beatrice chose a stunning pastel lace dress by Maje and teamed it with a Bundle MacLaren hat. Eugenie decided to opt for a blue dress too, with a cute yellow fascinator.
Duchess of Cambridge
Possibly one of our favourite of Kate's outfits ever, the Duchess stunned crowds at Ascot with this head-to-toe powder blue outfit.
Queen Letizia
Queen Letizia's teal Hugo Boss dress proved a major hit when she stepped out in Madrid in June 2019.

HRH is known for her love of bright colour but we think this more subtle shade looks terrific on her too. The Queen chose this Angela Kelly cashmere coat to celebrate her granddaughter Princess Eugenie’s wedding back in October 2018.
Princess Diana and Prince William
OK, so maybe not today's style inspo but adorable nonetheless… twinning is winning!
The Duchess of Cambridge
In July of 2019, Kate headed to Wimbledon to watch the men's finals with husband Prince William. We loved her outfit - the royal wore a custom blue midi dress by Emilia Wickstead with a purple bow, and teamed it with tanned heels and a white clutch.
