It’s all white for them! From the Princess of Wales to Queen Letizia of Spain, royal women have found a new  weapon in their armoury

With tailored cuts in a simple shade, royal ladies have been adding an effective new weapon to their style arsenal – the stylish white two-piece.

Whether sharply tailored like Kate or purposely over-sized like the versions worn by Meghan, the effect is the same: fresh and bright, yet work-wear at its most regal.

If there’s something inherently bold about wearing one pure colour, it’s also the case that white suits many skin tones.

And because the light reflects of it, it’s flattering, too. 

On top of all that, a pristine white suit remains a blank canvas for the royals to accessorise – and showcase their polished beauty.

The Princess of Wales

The Princess of Wales brought some glamour to the Rugby World Cup re-wearing one of her favourite Alexander McQueen suits to the Stade de Marseille in France for this month’s rugby World Cup. 

Previously seen at last year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the chic £1690 blazer and £950 wide leg trousers were layered over a simple white H&M top and accessorised with a Massimo Dutti clutch and Jimmy Choo heels for an all-over white look.

Crown Princess Mary of Denmark

Proving suits aren’t just for the boardroom, Crown Princess Mary stepped out in Melbourne in November 2011 wearing a sharply tailored white two-piece. 

Opting for a crisp white Maxmara suit layered over a sheer camisole, teamed with a pair of Christian Louboutin snakeskin heels and coordinating clutch, she was the picture of evening glamour.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex

Meghan Markle reimagined the power suit at the Invictus Games in 2022, choosing a sleek £3200 white double-breasted Valentino two-piece. 

While her tailored look felt timeless, she played with proportion opting for an oversized blazer and roomy wide-leg trousers. 

The look was kept minimalistic with the addition of coordinated heels from Aquazzura and a £2200 Valentino bag.

 Princess Charlene of Monaco

The pleated wide leg trousers and blazer which falls just below the hip elongate her legs, while the glamorous look was completed with a splash of purple lipstick. The suit has become Princess Charlene’s go-to with other white iterations in her wardrobe

Queen Letizia of Spain

Queen Letizia displayed her always elegant style while visiting the Princesa De Asturias Foundation in Madrid in June 2023, wearing a sleek white Carolina Herrera suit that consisted of a structured blazer and creased wide-leg trousers. 

Oozing glamour, she paired the ensemble with a lace and silk camisole and blush pink Magrit kitten heel sling back pumps, keeping her accessories to a minimum and opting for a glowing complexion and glossy nude lip.
