After the debacle that was 2020, 2021 could only get better, right? Our favourite royals have embraced the 'new normal' when it comes to attending public engagements, and have made the most of dressing up for us all to enjoy.
In celebration, we've rounded up our favourite looks from over the past year, from the Duchess of Sussex's New York moment to the Duchess of Cambridge and THAT Bond premiere dress.
