Princess Charlotte is just the absolute cutest, isn't she? The nine-year-old royal is a much-loved member of the royal family, due to her sweet nature, poise and grace. Also, she has the best wardrobe.
We loved seeing her last week at Trooping the Colour. Standing alongside her proud mother and brothers, Prince George and Prince Louis, she stole the show in her stunning, custom outfit. Her fancy nautical dress by Alexander McQueen totally complimented her mother's look.

The delightful children's footwear brand is based in London and are known for classically timeless designs that also have a contemporary edge. Her shoes look comfortable but super pretty and sturdy which is very important when picking children's shoes. Charlotte's shoes retail at £95 and also come in black.
We've found a similar pair from another royally-loved brand, La Coqueta. The brand's Ivory Leather Girl Mary Jane Shoe are a little cheaper at £56 and also come in seven other colours, including burgundy and pastel blue.
This isn't the first time that the young royal has worn the shoes. Back in 2023, the then eight-year-old also wore a traditional white dress with a Peter Pan collar and red embroidery and bow detailing to attend the 2023 Trooping the Colour celebrations.

The Charlotte Effect
When Charlotte turned six back in 2021, she actually made fashion history with children's brand Rachel Riley. She donned a lovely shirred dress for her adorable birthday portrait. The frock was printed with pretty florals, had puff sleeves and a kitsch button front. It cost £59 at the time and proved to be the fastest selling item in the brand's 28-year history.
When the pictures dropped, the dress completely sold out within 12 hours, and jaw-droppingly sold six months’ worth of the dress in just three days. HELLO! spoke exclusively to Rachel at the time, who recalled: "We had so many messages from customers asking if they could still order it, so we set up a pre-order system. It's our fastest selling royal item, ever!"
