As we leave behind a summer of fabulous royal style, we look forward to autumn and the sartorial choices the colder weather will bring.

The month of September has started positively with a welcomed update from the Princess of Wales regarding the conclusion of her preventative chemotherapy for cancer. The royal looked radiant in the touching family video filmed with Prince William and their three children.

Across the pond, the Duchess of Sussex has been spotted in the first of her autumn/winter neutrals, while the Duchess of Edinburgh flies the flag for transitioning summer brights into the chillier months.

Princess Charlene of Monaco and Queen Mary of Denmark are leading the way when it comes to stylish Euro royals, and the month has just begun.
