Princess Beatrice's Shoe Closet Is Better Than Meghan Markle's — and I'm Not Saying This Lightly

Princess Beatrice might hang out with Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, but her style is on a whole other level. While the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex have to follow a few strict fashion rules, Beatrice is free to wear shorter hemlines and wilder prints — but it's her always stylish and sometimes funky shoes that I love the most.

Over the years, Princess Beatrice has worn every style of shoe imaginable — from the most simple black pumps to rainbow flats and copper heels — and I'd give anything to be allowed to take a closer peek at her collection. (Beatrice, if you're reading this, call me.) While this might not be possible, I have the next best thing: photographic evidence of all her best shoe moments. Read on to see them all, and shop similar pairs to get on her royal level.
