Texture, texture, texture. It was all about the frills and furbelows for the royal ladies this week. From Princess Beatrice's gothic lace designer dress to The Duchess of Cornwall's cotton ditsy print frock, these famous fashionistas have rolled out the textural looks over the past several days.

Queen Letizia served up fairytale-meets-French-elegance in a pink organza number, in addition to a more lowkey soft linen suit ensemble. Lady Kitty Spencer was a vision in billowing silks at the Dolce & Gabbana haute couture show, contrasting Princess Sofia of Sweden's decision to opt for relaxed denim.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden intrigued with her ruffled regalia to top off our royal round-up, which is jam-packed with eclectic prints, tactile fabrics and striking adornments. Scroll on to discover our favourite royal looks from this week…

We love the inclusion of a power suit in Royal Style Watch – and this week Queen Letizia got suited and booted to attend the fifth conference on 'The Informative Treatment of Disabilities In Media' at the Vallehermoso stadium.

The Spanish royal wore an Adolfo Dominguez Spring/Summer 2020 Chambray linen trouser suit layered over a V-neck white top with ruffle detailing and a pair of tan espadrille wedges.

Lady Kitty Spencer

From gothic black lace to embellished pink silk, Lady Kitty has mastered the art of statement dressing. The society sweetheart, 31, attended the Dolce & Gabbana haute couture 2022 show sporting a standout gown.

The billowing polka dot silk gown, which appeared to be a custom number by the luxury Italian fashion house, boasted a radiant orange and lime green colour palette, semi-sheer layers of fine silk, a large waistband, a romantic halterneck and a white polka dot print.
