The greatest Easter outfits worn by royals through the years, from Princess Diana to Queen Elizabeth

Princess Beatrice embraced classic elegance with a modern twist for Easter services in 2025. She wore a Beulah London crepe midi dress in a deep, bottle green — a long-time staple in her wardrobe. The dress features a button-down bodice, puffed shoulders, and a waist-defining belt, falling into a graceful full-length skirt.

She paired it with matching green satin block heels by Emilia Wickstead with delicate ankle straps that added a touch of vintage charm. A small black Chanel handbag with a chain handle lent a sleek, structured contrast, while a statement gold lace halo headpiece by Justine Bradley-Hill, complete with a black bow at the back, gave the look a regal flourish.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, each brought their signature style to Easter Mass at St George’s Chapel in Windsor.

The Duchess of Edinburgh looked regal in a tailored plum double-breasted overcoat by Maison Alaïa, which flared stylishly at the hem and revealed a crisp white collared dress underneath. She accessorised with a rose-toned bespoke ‘Persephone’ fascinator by JT Millinery, a matching Bordeaux clutch by Sophie Habsburg, and glossy nude Jimmy Choo kitten heels.

In contrast, Sarah Ferguson opted for a chic monochrome ensemble, pairing a black dress with a Veronica Beard Darla cropped jacket in white. A black headband, gloves, and a Celine Teen Garance bag completed the polished look, along with Celine’s Alma Triomphe slingback heels.

The sisters-in-law by marriage (Sarah, once married to Prince Andrew, and Sophie, currently married to Prince Edward, both sons of Queen Elizabeth II) left the Easter services arm-in-arm as they chatted animatedly.

It was the first major public appearance of His Majesty since he announced his cancer diagnosis.

Queen Camilla chose to wear a deep emerald dress with a matching statement hat and a black cape, and heeled boots. She also wore an emerald and sapphire flower brooch once worn by Queen Mary, who bequeathed it to her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II.

Green was the name of the game at the 2024 Easter services. Sarah Ferguson and Princess Anne also joined Queen Camilla with green ensembles on the day.

Both chose to re-wear items from their wardrobes. Sarah repeated a bright green Dolce & Gabbana coat, which she was spotted wearing at another event earlier in the year. She acessoriesd with a gold chain featuring a pearl drop which matched her pearl and flower-encrusted headband.

Whereas, the hardest working royal, chose to wear a lime green wool coat which she is frequently spotted wearing. She completed her look with tassle suede tan boots, tan leather gloves, brown suede cross-body bag and a green beret with black feathers.

Like aunty, like niece! Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara, obviously have similar taste in clothing, as both of these royals attended the Sunday Easter service in 2023 in bright pink dresses with beige accessories.

Sophie appears to be rewearing the same stylish bright pink coat from the 2012 service. And it’s just as fabulous in 2023 as it was then!

In 2022, Catherine attended the annual Commonwealth Day Service wearing this cobalt blue coat dress by Catherine Walker.

In 2023, for the Easter Sunday service, the Princess of Wales re-worked the look by accessorising with a $1,500 pill box hat and gold, lapis and moonstone earrings.

In 2019, Catherine recycled her 2014 outfit, and we don’t blame her for wanting to wear this sleek Alexander McQueen ensemble again.

In 2019, the monarch chose a vibrant blue textured coat and hat with colourful pops of pink, including a swipe of pink lipstick.

Like mother, like daughter. Lady Louise Windsor dressed up alongside Sophie for the annual event in 2018. Their jewel-toned coats made for the perfect combo.

Pregnant with Prince Louis, Catherine’s baby bump was the perfect accessory alongside her chocolate brown hat and Catherine Walker coat in 2018.

In 2018, Zara Tindall attended the traditional Easter Sunday church service at St George’s Chapel while heavily pregnant, but she still made a fashion statement.

Her Majesty donned a vibrant fuchsia hat and coat over a floral patterned dress in 2018, matching the bouquets she was gifted beautifully.

In 2017, Catherine and William were a right royal sight to behold at the annual service, and the duchess’ pillbox hat was reminiscent of Diana’s 1986 look.

In 2015, Sophie joined Autumn Phillips and Princess Beatrice, along with her daughter Lady Louise, in a floral-clad spectacle.

In 2014, the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge looked elegant as they attended Easter Sunday service in Australia – a rare break from royal tradition.

A hat to remember! Sophie opted for this peacock-inspired look in 2013 as she attended the Easter Sunday service.

Sophie, then-Countess of Wessex, looked unreal in this vibrant pink number with her daughter Lady Louise Windsor for the Easter Mattins service in 2012.

How delightful are these blue flower appliques on the coat the Queen wore to meet the public during a walkabout after the traditional Maundy Service in 2005?

In 2001, Zara made a case for the pinstripe suit in cream, and she was well en route to becoming a low-key royal fashion icon.

Zara Tindall, then Zara Phillips, looked divine in pink when she attended church with her mother, Princess Anne, in 2000.

In 1992, Diana opted for a bright buttercup yellow look complete with a pleated skirt, topped off with some chocolate Easter eggs she and Wills were gifted as a treat!

In 1989, Her Majesty and Prince Harry opted for complementary red coats, the young prince dressing in a slightly darker hue.

Young Prince Harry waved to the crowd while holding tightly to mum Diana’s hand in 1989 — you can see her iconic engagement ring in this photo.

For the 1988 Easter Service, the Queen chose an all-green ensemble, accessorising with black gloves and a patent leather bag.

Here, the then-Prince and Princess of Wales lead young Prince William and Lady Zara Phillips out of the church after the 1988 service, all of them looking stylish.

In 1987, Diana one-upped her past fashion performances by matching her powder blue coat with her young son, Prince William. And how sweet is Wills’ cousin Peter Philips?!

Pastels must have been big in 1987, when the Queen also opted for this beautiful lilac coat with pink trimmings.

Ever the timeless fashion icon, Princess Diana set the precedent for Easter fashion in 1986 when she was pictured in this Victorian-esque navy ensemble with a matching pillbox hat.
