It was all about the bags this week
Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend clearly did not have an adequate handbag. This week, our beloved royal ladies engaged in various public outings, with most of them clutching a trusty handbag for all their daytime essentials.
For The Princess of Wales to the Countess of Wessex and Queen Rania of Jordan, the sleek clutch bag was the accessory of choice, while the Spencer twins, Queen Letizia of Spain and Crown Princess Victoria opted for a more practical crossbody design.
Princess Charlene of Monaco braved the bagless look, choosing belted detailing and boots in favour of handheld pieces.
