Princess Anne: The Chicest Woman in the World
While Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle may be stylish, there are other royals who are making waves in the fashion world. Princess Anne, known for her countryside style, has become an unexpected fashion inspiration. Fendi's latest menswear collection was even inspired by her, with male models wearing full-length waxed raincoats reminiscent of her look. Princess Anne's fashion choices have also boosted British brand Barbour, which reported record high sales. Even celebrities like Bella Hadid and Rihanna have been spotted wearing sunglasses similar to those worn by Princess Anne.
King Charles: The Trendsetter
King Charles has proven that he is in the know when it comes to fashion trends. When leaving the hospital, he chose to wear a black oversized coat, a style seen on fashion icons like Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber. King Charles was also one of the first public figures to champion sustainability, launching a clothing range with Yoox and Net-A-Porter to fight against throwaway fashion. He has also shown his playful side with fashion, wearing an oversized coat and a dinosaur-printed tie. His tie is a playful nod to one of his nicknames, Charles III Rex or C-Rex.
Queen Camilla: Effortlessly Casual
Queen Camilla has been a fashion inspiration for quite some time. At 76-years-old, she embraces bold silhouettes and bright colors, nailing the effortlessly casual look. During a visit to King Charles in the hospital, Queen Camilla was seen leaving in a stylish khaki knitted vest, paired with a crisp white shirt with a frilled collar. She isn't afraid to try something new or push boundaries with her looks, as seen when she wore mismatched clip-on earrings during a royal visit. Other A-listers like Emma Watson and Gwyneth Paltrow have also embraced this trend.
Duchess of Devonshire: The Stylish Stately Home Owner
The late Duchess of Devonshire, Deborah "Debo" Cavendish, may not be as well-known as the other royals on this list, but she had her own unique sense of style. Known for her love of animals and agriculture, she often wore wool jumpers and chunky cardigans, always looking stylish. British designer Erdem even drew inspiration from her for his spring/summer collection, featuring florals inspired by the grounds of Chatsworth House and designs influenced by her chicken breeding. The collection also collaborated with Barbour, a brand the Duchess herself wore.
