Every time Kate Middleton wears something, the “Kate Effect” ensures it almost immediately sells out — but she’s not the only fashion influencer in the royal family.
From Meghan Markle’s comfy flats to the Queen’s luxurious handbags, there are plenty of covetable royal style finds we commoners can shop, too.
Whether you favor a retro-influenced, elegant look or a more breezy and casual vibe, you’ll definitely find inspiration in the expansive closets of the monarchy’s finest.
Here, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite buys to help you build your ideal royal wardrobe — even if you don’t have a palace-sized budget.
Princess Diana’s infamous black sheep sweater has returned from the 1980s, and we can’t get enough of this whimsical style.

The Duchess of Cambridge is a big fan of the independent Welsh brand Spells of Love, and one of her frequently worn pieces is this double-strand gold necklace.

The Duchess of Cambridge famously wore this fuschia dress in her first family photo with a newborn Prince George, and was also spotted in the lavender floral version of the style ($85).

Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, carried this elegant clutch to grandfather Prince Philip’s memorial service in March 2022. The brand is also a favorite of the Duchess of Cambridge, who loves her $850 “Midi Mayfair” bag so much, she bought it in both black and lavender.
