All the Young Royals Approve of This Dress Trend

Thanks to Meghan and Harry and Kate and Wills—aka the new-gen royalsthe general public has well and truly fallen back in love with the monarchy and its extended family members. A decade ago they were very much the out-of-touch aristocracy, but in recent years, they have made serious gains when it comes to updating their image: opening up about mental health, marrying non-royals, and generally revealing an altogether more "human" side.

This renewed fascination with royal life has also turned the spotlight on the lesser-known, younger royals such as Lady Amelia Windsor and Lady Kitty Spencer. They have the glamorous sheen of a fancy title but perhaps less pressure—or rules and regs—when it comes to their sartorial choices. Although these women each possess their own unique sense of style, we've noticed that the floral dress seems to be a recurring favorite among this stylish bunch. Yes, it might not be the most ground-breaking fashion choice, but these women are familiar with event dressing, and clearly, it's a winning formula. Who are we to argue?

Style Notes: Lady Alice Manners (left) and Lady Violet Manners (right) show that florals needn't basic. We particularly love Violet's black Dior gown, which reveals just the right amount of skin.

Style Notes: Viscountess Weymouth (who, by the way, we are obsessed with) opts for a more classic Dolce & Gabbana floral print at the Cartier Queen's Cup Final. The ankle-grazing length keeps the look modern and still shows off those fabulous Aquazzura heels.
