10 of the most fashionable young royals to follow on Instagram
Shows like Bridgerton remind us of what it used to mean to be a stylish aristocrat. Don't be mistaken, Simone Ashley as Kate Sharma is still a style icon, but gone are the days of debutante balls, long white gloves as a symbol of elegance, and a showcase of as many diamonds as humanly possible to wear at once, as the way to show worth in high-society.
21st century aristocrats boast a much more modern style agenda. From wearing designer labels and sitting front row at fashion shows, to representing the royal sphere on sustainable fashion organisations and collaborations with cool-girl brands. And the most stylish socialites become increasingly recognised in the same way most other fashionista’s do in this day and age: social media.
