From dog walks to hikes, fishing to horse trials, there are many occasions where a wellington boot is the perfect footwear choice, and nobody agrees more than the royal family.

While they're often seen in ultra-smart shoes for public engagements, with Princess Kate fond of a court and Meghan Markle loving an espadrille, the royals take any opportunity to slip into a welly.

Given they spend a lot of time getting stuck into outdoor engagements, it's no surprise that everyone from Zara and Mike Tindall to King Charles and Queen Camilla love a Wellington boot.

Read on for all the best photos of the royal rocking a Wellington boot.
