At Christmas time, it's a rite of passage to dive into a box of chocolates. We're sure the royals enjoy a Quality Street or two, but did you know that on occasion our favourite royal ladies have exercised their sweet tooths via their wardrobe?
Yes, you heard us. Royals including the Princess of Wales, Princess Diana and even the late Queen herself were partial to a candy-coloured look. So, in our cheery, festive spirit, we've taken the liberty of rounding up royals dressed like sweets. There's no sugarcoating it, they all look phenomenal.
The Princess of Wales

Princess Diana

Princess Eugenie

Princess Beatrice

Princess Anne

Queen Letizia of Spain
