We've rounded up some of the best pictures of the royals in chic skiwear on their winter holidays over the years...
King Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry
A charming photograph of King Charles and his sons Prince William and Prince Harry during the Royal Family's ski break in, yes you guessed it, Klosters in 2005.
King Charles and Prince William
Looking gloriously '90s, King Charles and his eldest son stopped for photographers during their trip to Klosters in 1994.
The Prince and Princess of Wales
The first documented skiing holiday of Prince William and then-girlfriend Kate Middleton saw them using a T-bar drag lift whilst in Klosters in 2008. Three years later, the pair would tie the knot.

Sarah Ferguson, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie
The Duchess of York strikes a pose with her girls, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, on their skiing holiday to Verbier. We're loving the sunnies.
Princess Beatrice and Sarah Ferguson
The Yorks were also seen skiing in Verbier back in 2007 - here's Princess Beatrice and her mother Sarah looking super happy as they head to the slopes!
Princess Eugenie
We love this shot of Princess Eugenie rocking a neon look during another visit to Verbier in 2011.
Princess Diana
Princess Diana's ski attire was always on-point as proven during her trip to Lech in 1994. We would totally wear that red puffer now.

Diana loved to have fun with her skiing wardrobe! Her braided hairband wouldn't look out of place on our favourite royals today, either.
Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie
Isn't this picture of Prince William helping his baby cousin, Princess Beatrice, with the collar of her ski suit just the sweetest? The four cousins were snapped during an official photocall during a family holiday to Klosters in 1995.

The Spanish royal family
Promoting the clearly excellent skiing conditions in Spain, Queen Letizia of Spain, Princess Leonor, Princess Sofia and King Felipe VI were snapped enjoying a short skiing break in Jaca in 2017. The conditions would give France and Switzerland a run for their money…
The Belgian royal family
Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Princess Eleonore, King Philippe of Belgium, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel and Crown Princess Elisabeth never a skip a year on the slopes. Here they are in Switzerland earlier in 2018.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands
The Dutch Queen opted to wear head-to-toe purple for her holiday in Lech, Austria, in 2018.
