From the Duchess of Cambridge in her sporty styles to the Duchess of Sussex in a chic co-ord or the Countess of Wessex in her casual denim cut-offs, we're royally obsessed with these warm weather royal outfits.

Princess Diana was of course famous for rocking her cycling shorts back in the nineties, as did Sarah, Duchess of York. And today, the likes of Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Princess Mary have all sported their own off-duty styles too.
