3 Pieces Every Duchess, Princess, and Queen Wears to the Airport
When you're a royal, jet-setting to far-flung destinations is simply part of the job. In the past few months alone, Meghan Markle touched down in Morocco for a three-day tour of the North African country, Kate Middleton made a surprise trip to Northern Ireland, and Queen Rania of Jordan embarked on a royal visit to Japan. All this to say, duchesses, princesses, and queens know a thing or two about putting together an impeccable airport outfit.
Non-royals don't typically need to be dressed to greet diplomats, dignitaries, and dozens of flashing cameras upon landing, but that doesn't mean that we can't all put some royal airport outfit inspo to good use. Ahead, we've identified the airport outfit pieces everyone from Kate Middleton to Meghan Markle to Queen Letizia wears when they're boarding a flight. Scroll down to see how royals dress for the airport and shop their go-to travel pieces for yourself.
A Blazer
Meghan Markle was spotted wearing an oversize plaid blazer after touching down in Dubbo, Australia, on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's 16-day tour of Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand. Take note and don a similar style with skinny jeans for a laid-back look.
Photographed stepping off a plane in Cyprus en route to greet military families at the Royal Air Force base in Akrotiri, Kate Middleton looked impeccable in a tailored, army green blazer layered over wide-leg trousers.
A Belted Shirtdress
Here, Queen Letizia of Spain looked as polished and put together as ever while disembarking a plane for a two-day visit to Mozambique wearing a belted denim shirtdress.
Meghan Markle opted for a chic shirtdress cinched at the waist when boarding a flight from Australia to New Zealand last year, convincing us to step up our style game the next time we jet off to a new locale.
A Timeless Trench Coat
Boarding a flight to Japan, Queen Letizia demonstrated that a classic lightweight trench coat is the ideal airport outerwear when the temps are chilly.
On the tarmac in New Zealand, Meghan Markle swapped her typical camel trench coat for a plaid version, proving that the timeless print will never go out of style.
