The Denim Brands Royals Love, and Where to Buy Them
Zara is a favorite of Kate Middleton.

"Royals, they're just like us!" You've seen that headline enough to sometimes doubt it's authenticity. But never has this rang truer than when it comes to jeans. Like the rest of us, royal women wear, maybe even hoard, denim. Kate Middleton loves her skinny jeans while the Queen of Spain prefers a little flare. The Duchess of Cambridge has worn them on numerous occasions to public events and outings, as has her newly minted sister-in-law. So where do royals buy their go-to demin? We did a little research to find the exact brands and styles, and where we couldn't, we found similar options. Happy shopping!

Meghan Markle
Meghan paid tribute to her adopted home, Canada (that's where her show Suits was filmed) with a pair of black jeans from Outland Denim. She wore them several times throughout the royal tour with Prince Harry this month. Evidently, they're super comfortable.








Meghan Markle
Megan loves her Mother jeans. She was first spotted in the denim label at the 2017 Invictus Games. She wore the brand for the event this year, choosing a black pair for the 2018 Invictus Games on Cockatoo Island, Australia.






Kate Middleton
For one of the first events following her maternity leave for the birth of Prince Louis, Kate visited the Sayers Croft Forest School and Wildlife Garden in London. She wore a comfortable outfit, which included two pieces she loves: her olive Zara jeans and Penelope Chilvers boots.




Queen Rania of Jordan
Queen Rania doesn't wear jeans often, but when she does, she'll often chooses a classic bootcut style. A suede double-breasted beige jacket completed this casual yet chic ensemble.






Meghan Markle
For her first royal tour, Meghan packed plenty of jeans. For a visit to Auckland, New Zealand, she pulled out these black skinnies from J.Crew.
