Is there ever a classier way to wear one’s hair than in a sleek and chic bun?
We tend to think not – and the British royals are case in point.
On many a royal occasion, team Windsor has wowed us time and time again with their impeccable fashion choices, their stunning accessories and, of course, their enviable tresses.
From Kate Middleton’s ever-classy evening looks to Meghan Markle’s signature bun – after witnessing such perfection time and time again, it’s almost impossible to not feel inspired by the regal elite.
To honour their time-old knack for nailing the humble up-do, be it a ponytail, bun or even a plaited creation, we’ve rounded up the most iconic royal slick-‘dos of all time.
Don’t be afraid to whack these puppies into a scrapbook and take them to your hairdresser – every single one oozes glamour and class.

WATCH: Kate Middleton’s best hair moments. Gallery begins after video…
Kate’s 2019 BAFTA look was all kinds of chic, but her swept-back up-do was the cherry on top of the pie.
Meanwhile, Duchess Meghan is also a known slayer of the bun – so much so that it’s become synonymous with her signature look! Her slick up-do worn to the National Theatre was an iconic moment.
Zara Phillips is a known lover of the ponytail, but her chic bun worn to the 2019 Easter service at St George’s Chapel stepped things up a notch.
And we can’t forget Kate’s love of a chic pony-tail. This messy style she donned as she visited the RAF Air Cadets is the perfect glam-casual look.
And let’s not forget our favourite international royals – Wife of Monaco royal Pierre Casiraghi, Beatrice Borromeo, rocked a stunning wedding day up-do that will forever be remembered in the hairstyle hall of fame.
Our unsung royal fashion icon Sophie, Countess of Wessex is also a keen wearer of an up-do. Wait till you see the back of this casual ‘do she wore of the Royal Windsor Horse Show…
Yep, the French plait is old hat for this trendy royal!
Our hair Queen Meghan once again nailed a sleek and slick bun during her tour of Morocco earlier in 2019 – and let’s not forget that heavenly Dior gown she wore with it!
Spot the tail! A ponytail that is – Princess Beatrice’s stylish hairdo worn to Lady Gabriella Windsor’s royal wedding in May 2019 was undeniably glam.
Lady Amelia Windsor looks amazing in almost anything – but this sleek ponytail is definitely oozing cool-girl chic in this Dior ensemble.
And in another iconic look ahead of a Dior fashion show in Paris, Amelia proved she’s not a one-hit-wonder when it comes to nailing the up-do.
Attending a concert back in 2015, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands’ swirled bun continues to mesmerise us.
And once again, Kate nailed the pony-tail up-do like no other when she stepped out on a rainy day in Blackpool – a smart style for wet weather, might we add!
