As we near the end of March, we look back at what a month of royal style it has shaped up to be. 

Meghan Markle kept us on our toes all month with several looks from her visit to Texas with Prince Harry that ranged from chic satin to casual denim.

Then there was Cheltenham Festival. Nearly every senior British royal was in attendance with Zara Tindall leading the way with strong outfits with fabulous fascinators on the daily.

As we draw the month to a close, our attention falls to European royal ladies including Queen Mary of Denmark and Queen Letizia of Spain who have proved their style credentials with stunning cinched looks that prove smart tailoring never goes out of style. Monaco's Princess Charlene also led the way at the  Bal de la Rose 2024 where she served an unforgettable sequinned look.

We also can't forget the array of royal brooches from the final week of the month that have featured unexpected insects.

Who's been on our Royal Style Watch this March? Keep scrolling to find out which of the royal set delivered in the style stakes.
