Happy New Year royal style watchers! Just like us, Europe's royal ladies took a well-deserved break over the festive period so it was rather quiet on the regal outfit front. However, it's now back to work and some of our favourite Duchesses, Queens and Princesses have returned to the royal engagements circuit showcasing some chic ensembles. This week, Duchesses Meghan and Kate wore some gorgeous coats, Spain's Queen Letizia rocked two cool jackets and Zara Tindall wowed from her Australia holiday.

Catch up on the first style watch of 2019 below…

The Duchess of Sussex

Meghan looked radiant on Thursday when she visited Smart Works, one of her newly announced patronages. The wife of Prince Harry dressed her blooming bump in a chic black dress by the designer Hatch with a tan coat by Oscar de la Renta. Her animal-print shoes were a particular talking point, giving her outfit that extra wow factor.

The Duchess of Cambridge

Duchess Kate looked stunning in a blue Catherine Walker & Co coat on Sunday when she attended church with Prince William for the first time in 2019. Underneath, the Duchess wore her navy and white polka dot dress from LK Bennett, which she coordinated with a blue Jane Taylor headband, purple pointed Prada pumps, gloves and a Jimmy Choo clutch bag.

Queen Letizia of Spain

The Spanish monarch has stepped out in three sophisticated outfits this past week, retaining her reputation as one of HELLO!'s most stylish royals. Thursday saw Letizia wear this absolutely gorgeous red dress to Madrid's National Sports Awards in Madrid. Loving the frill detail at the waist and matching bag and heels.

On Sunday, Zara wore another stunning outfit for a formal evening event for the tournament. Her pretty cream frock was made by one of Zara's favourite Australian fashion brands, White Label Noba and sold out online almost as soon as the royal wore it.

Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece

We love Maria-Olympia's cosy rainbow striped jumper in this Instagram snap! The royal was pictured in a lodge, presumably at a ski resort or winter hideaway. "Just too cool for school," wrote one of her followers.
