Summer is officially in full swing – meaning the royals have been rolling out some effortless seasonal looks. Feminine pastel shades took this week's royal round-up by storm, with Queen Letizia, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and Beatrice Borromeo opting for cream sartorial concoctions.

Lady Amelia Windsor hopped across the channel to enjoy some decadent Parisian scenery, turning heads in a blush pink Miu Miu number which is one of her most enchanting looks to date.

The Duchess of Cambridge is back on our list with two charming dress looks – a blue spotted number which captivated crowds at Wimbledon 2022 and a sumptuous off-white midi dress donned for the polo.

Whether sporting high street or designer, these royal ladies put on their best Grace-Kelly inspired looks to kick off the British summer in style.
