The One Shoe Style Every Princess, Queen, and Duchess Wears

What can an English duchess, a Spanish queen, and a Saudi Arabian princess all agree on when it comes to fashion? The power of nude leather pointy-toe pumps. Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia of Spain, and Princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia are just a few of the stylish royal women who swear by the shoe staple, and we can definitely see why. It's arguably the most versatile style out there, and it can be leg-lengthening when you choose a pair that matches your skin tone.
Middleton has worn her go-to pair with over a dozen different outfits, and Queen Letizia relied on the shoes for her visit to Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has worn the style numerous styles since becoming a duchess. Read on to see how Princess Siriwanwaree Nareerat of Thailand, Princess Victoria of Sweden, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, and Princess Charlene of Monaco also wear the shoes, and then shop them for yourself.
