The royals know how to tote around their things in style. Here, the 13 brands the Windsors swear by—from Meghan Markle's go-to emerging label and Kate Middleton's preferred clutches to handbag that was Queen Elizabeth's one true carry-all love.
Strathberry
Meghan has stepped out wearing numerous bags from Strathberry, including the East/West Mini (seen here) as well as multiple shades of the Midi Tote. She's in good company: celebrities like Lady Gaga, Margot Robbie, and Katie Holmes also have a penchant for the label—and for that matter, so does her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton.
Launer
When Queen Elizabeth found something she liked, she stuck with it—and the late monarch really liked Launer. She used the brand's handbags for decades, seldom varying from a few classic styles.
Mulberry
Mulberry is definitely in the running for the Princess of Wales's favorite label. She owns several of the brand's handbags and clutches, including the Amberley Satchel and Amberley Clutch (seen here), and rewears the designs all the time.
DeMellier
Camilla, Meghan, Beatrice: DeMellier has won over just about every woman in the royal family—plus royal in-law Pippa Middleton.
Aspinal of London
Kate owns multiple bags from the stylish British brand Aspinal of London. The Mayfair Midi bag (seen here) is a particular favorite of her, popping up in regular rotation.
Gucci
Princess Beatrice was photographed carrying a bold Gucci clutch at a fundraiser in 2018. But she's not the only royal who's taken a liking to the luxury label: Kate and Meghan have also been spotted clutching Gucci bags.
Stella McCartney
The Duchess has shown a clear penchant for the high-end label, going back to McCartney designs again and again.
Anya Hindmarch
British designer Anya Hindmarch makes several of Kate's go-to clutches, from red carpet-worthy showstoppers (like this one) to more neutral, subtle styles.
Cuyana
The Duchess of Sussex carried a stylish Cuyana crossbody during her and the Duke's royal tour of Australia in 2018. Later, she'd repeatedly use an editor-favorite tote from the up-and-coming brand.

L.K. Bennett
L.K. Bennett is another British brand that Kate has relied on for years. Her wardrobe is loaded with several pieces from the label, including dresses, pumps, and handbags. Here, she's toting a nude-hued Milly top handle in June 2021.
Dior
The royal family's love for Dior purses dates back to the mid-90s when Princess Diana was often seen with one of her own. In 1995, the French fashion house gifted her with a mini top handle bag that would later be known as the Lady Dior in honor of her. More than 25 years later, Meghan paid tribute to her late mother-in-law with an iteration of the design.
Longchamp
These days, when Kate attends her royal engagements and other events, she's usually carrying a clutch or small handbag—but in her pre-royal years, she got plenty of use out of Longchamp's cult-favorite totes. (This photo was taken at her college graduation!)
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham's handbag designs are in constant rotation for Kate and Meghan. Here, the Duchess of Sussex opted for the designer's Powder Box bag for Christmas Day 2018.
