We love that The Queen wears it twice… including her Gucci loafers!

Royalty, we expect to see them in a new outfit every time they step out, but that’s not actually true of The Queen, and certainly not true of Kate either.

As far back as the 1960s The Queen re-wore her custom-made gowns to high profile events, and in 2020 Princess Beatrice borrowed a Norman Hartnell dress for her wedding.

Believe it or not, The Queen is quite thrifty and likes to adapt her clothes as much as possible to given them multiple outings, especially if the media has seen her in an outfit more than once. So, she often re-wears her outfits on private holidays and when she visits Balmoral or Sandringham.

As far as her handbags are concerned, she is very loyal to the British brand Launer and has been using their handbags for decades, even having her favourites repaired.

Below are 11 of our favourite re-worn Royal looks.
