Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter was a pillar of strength to attend the late monarch's funeral on 19 September, attending a vigil at Westminster Hall just days before to pay respects to her grandmother. The mother-of-one looked poised and elegant for the occasion, stepping out in a belted blazer-style dress by Self-Portrait.

Commenting on fashion blog Instagram account @royalfashionpolice, one fan wrote: "The Princess of Wales was the first to wear this outfit in white! Loved it from the start."

"I loved this dress on Princess Beatrice a couple of nights ago!" added a second, as a third fan penned: "Do [the royals] pass their outfits on to other family members?"

It's not unusual to see the royals recycling their outfits, especially their expertly tailored designer pieces that are crafted to last a lifetime.

The royal's effortlessly elegant fit sparked a fashion frenzy online, who quickly matched Princess Beatrice's dress to a similar one in the Princess of Wales' archive.

Princess Kate memorably wore the iconic Self-Portrait blazer dress in white at the reception for Hold Still, and again at the Queen's Platinum Party at the Palace this summer - a timeless piece in her wardrobe.
