When you think royal fashion, our minds are likely to wander directly towards Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.

But there’s another royal out there who’s been sneakily slaying the fashion-stakes one outfit at a time, and it’s time we all recognised it.

That’s right, we’re talking about none other than Camilla Parker-Bowles, aka the Duchess of Cornwall, aka Prince Charles’ very fashionable partner in crime.

Hear us out here – while Camilla has made some questionable fashion choices over her time, haven’t all the royals?

We’ll never forget Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’s wild royal wedding hats. Nor shall we erase Kate Middleton’s younger brother James in those tartan pants from our memories any time soon.

And did you see Lady Amelia Windsor’s pink daisy-adorned dress from the royal wedding in May this year?

These examples alone are enough to convince us that when it comes to the royals, there’s fashion on all ends of the spectrum.

That’s why it’s beautifully refreshing to see Camilla, who is 71-years-old, rock an ageless ensemble with poise and grace, not to mention a touch of chic.

Here, we round up her best style moments in recent years – right down to her very on-point choice in shoes.
