The 4 Dress Trends Every Princess, Duchess, and Queen Own
Thanks to the likes of Meghan Markle and Queen Letizia, we never have a dearth of good royal outfits to cover. You can often find us breaking down each woman's personal style, including the items Markle wears the most, but it's also interesting to analyze how royal style compares across countries. As it turns out, princesses, queens, and duchesses in England, Jordan, Spain, and Saudi Arabia are often on the same page sartorially.
Princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, Kate Middleton, and Markle, for instance, all share an affinity for caped dresses and have all worn different versions of the trend for formal occasions. Meanwhile, Queen Letizia has the right idea about blazer dresses, and Queen Rania knows how to pull off a coat dress with ease. Scroll down to see how royals wear four dress trends and shop similar pieces for yourself. How could you go wrong with a cute new spring dress that's also royalty-approved?

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
