The fourth Thursday in November is right around the corner, and it seems to sneak up on us every year. Thanksgiving seems to mark the official start of the holiday season, with plenty of reasons to get dressed up over the next few weeks, whether it’s Friendsgiving or a work holiday party.
While European royals don’t sit down for a turkey and some gratitude every November, they do bring the royal fashion inspo year-round. Whether your Thanksgiving dress code is jeans, dressy, or elastic-waistbands-only, these royal women have stylish outfits to guide you.
Meghan Markle might be the only member of the Royal Family who’s celebrating Thanksgiving around her Montecito table, but read on for style inspiration from Princess Kate, Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Princess Catharina-Amalia, the future queen of the Netherlands.
