19 Times Royals Swapped Out The Palace For The Runway

From princesses to ladies, these are the bright young things redefining 'fashion royalty'

With fashion month fast approaching, it’s safe to say that all eyes will not only be on said fashion coming down the runway.

In the past, the bi-annual event has not only been known for debuting impeccable garments and introducing trends, but the shows also featured some unconventional models. From Dolce & Gabbana to Burberry, previous runways played host to a handful of young royals, including Lady Diana Spencer’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer, and young Danish Prince Nikolai.

And there are even more members of the aristocracy who have tried their hand at modelling, with Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark, Charlotte Casiraghi and the ever-stylish Lady Amelia Windsor gracing various runways and campaigns over the years (to name a few).

Here we chart every single nobleman/woman who’s ventured into the world of high fashion.
