Just as we thought the royals had slipped into hibernation at the end of the summer, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie emerged in all their glittering glory at the Vogue World: London 2023 party. 

September also marked a major month in the style stakes for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, who was crowned a monochrome maven at the Invictus Games with an expertly packed suitcase of neutral-toned ensembles. 

The Princess of Wales has proven her penchant for power dressing by kickstarting her return to royal engagements in an immaculate army of tailored suits, while the Duchess of Edinburgh has equally reigned supreme with her effortlessly flattering fits and feminine flair. 

Keep scrolling to discover which of the royal style set have impressed as the best dressed this month…

Princess Kate has served up a slew of stunning suits this September, from her aubergine-hued Alexander McQueen number to her outdoorsy double-breasted jacket from Holland Cooper.

It's not the first time the royal has worn the vampy purple ensemble. Kate proved her sartorial prowess in the designer number once before, when she and Prince William stepped off the plane for their Boston royal tour in December last year.

Taking a leaf from the Duchess of Sussex's style file, Kate perfected neutral dressing as she stepped out in a nude suit for an engagement in east London.

The Duchess of Sussex defied expectations when she jet set to Düsseldorf without her beloved glam squad, with Meghan's press team confirming the royal not only travelled without a stylist, but also "did her own hair and makeup and will do her own the entire trip."

The 'Meghan effect' will no doubt be infectious after the royal's return to the spotlight, thanks to her mix-and-match wardrobe of affordable high street looks and luxe designer pieces.

It was all about the neutral tones for the mother-of-two, who took centre stage in an array of creams, browns and caramel-hued pieces throughout the Games.
