If there's one group that TRULY gets the meaning of 'alpine chic', it's undoubtedly the royals. Each year, you can rely on the world's most famous families to pack their finest salopettes and head to the likes of Klosters, Lech and Verbier to carve up some serious powder.

Here are some of the best pictures of the royals skiing holidays over the years...
