While we’ll never get over Princess Diana‘s iconic wardrobe, we’re presently fixated on the current lineup of regal ladies—Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton and bride-to-be Meghan Markle. Each takes a poised approach to fashion but holds a distinguishing quality all her own. Here, we break down the style essentials for the women of the British monarchy—royal bank account not required.
How To Dress Like A Royal
Queen Elizabeth II: Ultra Ladylike

With a penchant for timeless silhouettes rendered in vibrant colors, pristine skirt sets, elegant tea dresses and sleek coats are the crux of Her Majesty's wardrobe. As for her signature accessories? A color-coordinated hat, top-handle bag and block heels.
