The ladies of the British royal family never fail to wow us with their outfit choices. From Meghan's perfect maternity wardrobe to Kate's signature colour, and Beatrice's fearless approach to fashion, we've come to expect a certain level of poise and polish during royal engagements. That goes right down to their feet, where closed-toe high heels are the order of the day for most royal events (because when you're in the company of the queen, strappy sandals just won't do). But even a duchess or a princess can surprise us occasionally, and some of our favourite moments have been when the royals have stepped out in surprising choices: be that Kate's cool sneakers, Meghan's utility boots, or Beatrice's killer heels. Keep reading for 16 royal shoe moments from recent years that show just how varied those royal footwear collections really are. You can even shop some of the key styles for yourself.
