Prince George and Charlotte are traditional, the Phillips are tomboys and Monaco set are ‘cool kids’

Kate, Meghan and Letizia of Spain all boast a huge fashion following, sparking sell-out trends whenever they step out. 

But there is a new appetite emerging for the trends worn by young royals, with the cute looks adopted by the Cambridge children and the Tindall girls replicated across the country.

Prince William and wife Kate often dress George, 6, and Charlotte, 4, in traditional outfits, and mix British designer pieces from brands including Rachel Riley with high street steals from H&M, Zara and Cath Kidson.

Meanwhile Mike and Zara Tindall often dress Mia, 5, and Lena, 1, in more casual ensembles including dungarees, t-shirts and jeans, similar to their cousins Savannah, 8, and Isla, 7, whose parents Peter and Autumn Phillips favour a similar style. 

And across the pond, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain – who is known for her flawless fashion choices – has produced two perfectly preened princesses in Leonor, 13, Sofia, 12.

Cool points go to the Monaco sets of kids, with Andrea Casiraghi – the eldest grandchild of the late Prince of Monaco and late Grace Kelly – and his wife Tatiana Santo Domingo, dressing Alexandre, 6, and India, 4, in designers including Ralph Lauren, and mini Ray Bans. 

Their twin cousins Gabriella and Jacques, four, children of Prince Albert II and his wife Princess Charlene, don similar styles, often seen in colour- coordinated yacht-chic outfits and shades.

Speaking to Femail, fashion expert Simon Glazin said: ‘It seems the royal kids around the world mimic the style of the countries they are from.

‘The Phillips and Tindall royal children have a fun, eclectic approach to fashion. Dungarees with printed t-shirts underneath is very ‘now’, and then you have Charlotte and her romantic prints and George in his utilitarian getup.

‘To Spain, and Princesses Leonor and Sofia perfectly sum up the polished yet fresh sartorial choices that dominate that part of Europe. Light colours, breathable fabrics – equally ready for the beach and a royal soiree at the same time.

‘And then you have the cool kids of France – Gabriella and Jacques. Very Dolce & Gabbana indeed! Look at any catwalk from a French designer right now and you’ll see moody florals, black leather and denim.

‘The royal kids are really flying the fashion flags – maybe it’s their parents living vicariously through their children’s wardrobes?’.

Simon said: ‘The Tindalls and Phillips kids take on a much more hands on, outdoorsy approach to fashion, much like their parents – durable denims and sturdy trainers, outfits equipped for running around a field or mucking out the horses.’ 

The traditionalists 

The children favour traditional styles, with Prince George usually dressed in shorts – an unofficial royal tradition for boys under the age of 8 – and polo shirts or jumpers, while Princess Charlotte is usually seen in smock dresses and ballet pumps. Seen at the polo in Wokingham last month
