The Commonwealth Games 2022 treated us to a host of elegant royal looks – and these royal ladies firmly embraced the neutral colour palettes this week. To attend the highly anticipated event, The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in a sharp Alexander McQueen suit, while The Countess of Wessex opted for two trouser looks both complete with a feminine blouse.

Her daughter, Lady Louise Windsor, brought some contemporary high street charm to the games in a boho ensemble, while across the seas Queen Letizia of Spain debuted a string of summer-ready outfits that epitomised the royal's unparalleled sophistication.
