This is how the royals are still influencing our fashion choices even in quarantine

It was only recently that Kate Middleton and Prince William celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary.

This anniversary marked the beginning of many things, but for the fashion world, it signified the huge impact that Middleton’s style choices would have on the designers and brands that she would wear from that day forward.

Nowadays, whether the Duchess of Cambridge is spotted in high street or designer, you can be assured that she can, and will, sell out any item she is photographed in.

And, upon joining the royal family, Meghan Markle’s fashion choices have similarly come to influence the purchases of royal onlookers and fans of the actress, ensuring anything she wears becomes an instantly coveted item.

For as long as we can remember, the royal family have been setting fashion trends globally.

They have used fashion to communicate messages to the public and make statements and decisions based on who they are meeting, what they are celebrating and where they are going (whilst of course following the rules).
