Royalty is usually synonymous with sparkling tiaras and embellished party dresses, but in 2020, an approachable aesthetic is as much a part of the Windsor brand as over-the-top jewels. Royal women like Meghan and Kate often keep things casual at official events, wearing affordable brands and easy-to-wear styles, and that includes blue jeans. Here, 20 times royals have worn denim, from Prince Philip and Princess Alexandra in the 1950s to Meghan and Kate today.
The Queen isn't one to wear denim. Her husband Prince Philip on the other hand, looked appropriately folksy at a square dance held in the royals' honor in Ottawa during their royal Canadian tour in 1951.
Queen Elizabeth's cousin Princess Alexandra sported a high-waisted pair of jeans with cuffed hems while playing tennis at Coppins, her family's estate in Buckinghamshire, in 1954.
When Diana sartorially hinted at her feelings about being an outsider in the royal family with her now-famous black sheep sweater, she paired the bright red jumper with a pair of dark denim.
Princess Anne's branch of the royal family is perhaps the most likely to be seen in jeans. Here are the Princess Royal and her children Zara and Peter Phillips at the Windsor Horse Show in 1985, all decked out in denim.
Another iconic denim look from the Princess of Wales. To a polo match in 1988, she paired a classic pair of bootcut jeans with embellished boots, an oversized blazer, and perhaps most surprisingly, a British Lung Foundation sweatshirt.
Sarah Ferguson also loves a mother-daughter matching moment. Here she is Princess Beatrice in Windsor Great Park.
Diana loved a matching moment for her boys, too. Here, Princes William and Harry sported jeans, sneakers, and red collared shirts while horsing around at a polo match.
And here, the royal brothers aptly sported Canadian tuxedos while on a tour of Canada in 1991.
During a 2000 photoshoot at Highgrove House, Prince William kept things casual in a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, while his father, Prince Charles, sported a double-breasted suit.
Horse shows and polo matches are traditionally the two times when royals break out the denim. Here, Sophie Countess of Wessex and her daughter Lady Louise, both sporting dark jeans and waxed cotton jackets.
William and Kate went full cowboy chic, from their jeans and boots to those statement-making hats, during their 2011 visit to Calgary, Canada.
Kate tucked her jeans into wellies and braved snowy conditions to visit the Great Tower Scout camp in Cumbria in 2013.
Kate loves a nautical-inspired look. She paired a classic striped shirt with dark denim for a visit to a SportsAid Athlete Workshop in 2013.
The Duchess of Cambridge was in full mom mode at a charity polo match in 2015, watching a young Prince George while sporting jeans, a striped t-shirt, and her classic shades.
During a pre-wedding visit to Cardiff, Meghan chose to shine a spotlight on a local brand, the Hiut Denim Company.
“The website went absolutely crazy,” David Hieatt the co-founder of the company told The Daily Mail. “We have a backorder waiting list for three months. We are having two more people in and we’re moving to a new factory. The effect has been remarkable.”

Meghan has also been known to wear denim dresses, like this style, which she chose for the 2018 Sentebale Polo match.
Hiut isn't the only jeans brand to see the benefit of a little Markle Sparkle. When Meghan wore Outland denim during the royal tour of Australia, she helped promote the sustainable line with a commitment to supporting victims of sex trafficking.

Like grandmother, like granddaughter. Mia Tindall (the daughter of Princess Anne's daughter Zara) was photographed at the 2019 Festival of British Eventing wearing a pair of denim overalls (and a colorful face paint design).
