It's been another busy week for royals across the globe – which means we've been spoilt for choice with their latest looks. The overarching theme in the wardrobe department this week was texture – with silks and satins among the array of fabrics sported by the royal ladies.

The Duchess of Sussex looked elegant in striped silk, while Queen Rania opted for both navy crepe material and jacquard satin. Queen Maxima and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden both donned shirts during their outings, with one looking lavish in vibrant lace and the other choosing a crisper cotton.

Finally, Princess Olympia amped up the glamour in a twee pink knitted ensemble, in preparation for the cooler months ahead.
