Which Royal Kid Is the Most Fashionable?
It may be a while before we get a glimpse of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s newborn, Lilibet Diana, who’s been holed up with her parents in California in the short time she’s been on planet Earth. But if she’s anything like her late grandmother and namesake, Princess Diana, the lil’ royal will soon enough be looking chic. In fact, many of the world’s royal tots and tweens seem to possess a precocious sense of fashion. After all, being photogenic is practically part of their parents’ job description (and one which they have the budget to fulfill it). That’s been the case for at least decades, as Harry himself can attest. “I genuinely think [Diana] got satisfaction in dressing William and myself up in the most bizarre outfits,” he said in a 2017 HBO documentary. And while he didn’t always agree with her decisions, he plans to uphold the tradition: “I sure as hell am going to dress my kids up the same way.” Royal parents across the world seem to feel similarly. Here, a guide to the competition, from Japan’s Prince Hisahito to a Norwegian royal-turned-model.
For as long as Monaco’s crowned twins, Princess Gabriella and Prince Jacques, have been in existence, the six-year-old twins have been color-coordinating. (Or at least their parents, Prince Jacques and Princess Charlene, have been doing so for them.)
But Princess Gabriella is already starting to stand out on her own.
Princess Estelle of Sweden, who is second in line to the Swedish throne, is open to both floral dresses and sneakers and leggings for skateboarding.
Prince Oscar of Sweden’s suspenders and muted color palette suggest he may soon be taking after his sister.
Prince Hisahito of Japan tends to stay under the radar, but the young teen has stood out in both traditional and everyday wear.
Prince Alexander started wearing cardigans around the age of two.
Marius Borg Høiby, who’s since become an actor, set himself apart from the rest of the Norwegian royals early on with spiky, platinum-blonde hair.
Perhaps unlike the rest of her family, Princess Amalia of Luxembourg isn’t afraid to make a statement with her face mask.
Here’s one you may recognize: Prince George, who’s almost always in a button-down.
Princess Charlotte seems to take style cues from her mom, Kate Middleton.
Prince Vincent of Denmark isn’t afraid to make a statement in bold-hued pants, while his sister has tended to keep it classic.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third child, Prince Louis, can make a chore jacket red carpet-appropriate.
Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is only two, but if he’s anything like his mom, Meghan Markle, his wardrobe will no doubt soon be on the map.
Princess Beatrice recently celebrated her first Mother’s Day with her newborn August, in whale-printed pants.
