As much as we might not be ready to think about it yet, party season is slowly edging nearer and there’s no better place to look for occasionwear inspiration than the royals. No-one does elevated glamour quite like them and the Princess of Wales has worn so many fabulous gowns and dresses over the years it’s hard to keep track.
Some of my favourites go under the radar, though, as Kate wore them when she was still relatively new to royal life. Back then her looks tended to be a little less formal and more in line with what you might see shopping on the high-street, even if they were luxury pieces from some of the best British clothing brands.
