From dog walks to hikes, fishing to horse trials, there are many occasions where a wellington boot is the perfect footwear choice, and nobody agrees more than the royal family.

While they're often seen in ultra-smart shoes for public engagements, with Princess Kate fond of a court and Meghan Markle loving an espadrille, the royals take any opportunity to slip into a welly.
