HRH-hand-me-downs! How young royals are raiding their very glamorous mothers' wardrobes - including Queen Letizia of Spain's teenage daughter stepping out in her summery dress
When your mother's closet is filled with designer garments from the likes of Chanel, Oscar de la Renta and Nina Ricci, it would be rude not to borrow one or two of them. So it's no wonder that the young European royals of today are raiding their glamorous parent's wardrobes more and more. From Queen Maxima and Princess Alexia of The Netherlands to the Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte, royal mothers and their daughters are increasingly sharing their clothes and accessorises. Just last week, Princess Leonor of Spain, 19, stepped out in the Desigual x Stella Jean Ruffle midi dress that her mother Queen Letizia wore at an event back in 2023. Days earlier, Princess Isabella of Denmark, 18, wore a colourful skirt that belonged to her mother Queen Mary - after wearing her mum's Chanel Lambskin Ballerinas that same week. She is the latest of the very stylish European royals who have turned to the wardrobes of the older women in their families to find vintage pieces. Several princesses have also borrowed from their relatives' closets for special occasions - including Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, who for her 18th birthday donned a black number from Lanvin, which her mother Crown Princess Mette-Marit first wore in 2004 at the Nobel concert. So, as these pictures show, royal hand-me-downs are increasingly common in an eco-conscious age...

Most recently, on August 1, the 18-year-old wore a colourful skirt belonging to the Australian-born queen. Isabella joined her family to watch a traditional changing of the guard ceremony at Gråsten Castle wearing a summery La DoubleJ Botanical-Print Midi Skirt. Mary wore the same skirt in some summery snaps posted to Instagram from a family holiday in Gråsten back in 2020 - when Isabella was just 13 years old.

Not only has Mary worn the popular shoes on various occasions since 202, they have also been seen on the feet of other royals including Meghan Markle and Princess Beatrice. Isabella has often been snapped in her mother's clothes, most notably at her 2022 confirmation where she donned Mary's Max Mara three-piece pantsuit. The then-Crown Princess Mary wore the outfit in May 2017 during a visit to Stockholm, and again in May 2019 in South Korea. She has even dipped into her daughter's wardrobe once too - wearing one of the princess's purple double-breasted coat by Dolce & Gabbana. Spain's Princess Leonor looked radiant in the Desigual x Stella Jean Ruffle midi dress on August 5. Her mother Queen Letizia first wore the dress in 2023 Princess Leonor has been sporting a few of her mother Queen Letizia of Spain 's outfits and accessories during the royal family 's summer outings - and the latest is a chic, breezy designer piece. The 19-year-old looked radiant in the Desigual x Stella Jean Ruffle midi dress at a traditional reception at Marivent Palace on the Balearic Islands on August 5 where the family spend their summer holidays. The wife of King Felipe first wore the flowing blue and white patterned frock at the same event back in 2023. Leonor opted for a more casual look a few day previous when she visited the Palma Yacht Club in Palma de Mallorca - and accessorised with one of her mother's favourite pair of earrings. The princess wore a pair of CXC E0076 gold earrings donned by Letizia on numerous occasions. Letizia opted for the simple gold earrings at the Spanish Red Cross Gold Medals and CaixaForum in 2022 as well as the opening of the first Casa del Libro bookshop in Madrid in 2023. In April, Princess Ingrid Alexandra made a dazzling debut at her first state banquet in a sky blue ruffled gown Mette-Marit's wore to the Crown Princess donned for Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden's wedding in 2010 For her 18th birthday, the princess wore Mette-Marit's Lanvin Spring 2004 Black Silk Dress which her mother donned at a concert 21 years ago Princess Ingrid Alexandra is a big fan of her mother's vintage wardrobe and has worn an array of her stunning designer gowns from the early 2000s in recent years. In April, the 21-year-old made a dazzling debut at her first state banquet in a sky blue ruffled gown Mette-Marit's wore for Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden's wedding in 2010. For her 18th birthday, the princess wore Mette-Marit's Lanvin Spring 2004 Black Silk Dress which her mother donned at a concert 21 years ago. That same year Ingrid Alexandra also took another leaf out of her mother's styling book opting for a purple Alberta Ferrtti gown Mette Marit wore in 2005. Princess Eleanore looked ever-so-chic when she stepped out with her family to celebrate Belgium's National Day in July. She paired her green Diane von Furstenberg dress with a sparkling set of emerald earrings belonging to her mother Queen Mathilde. They proved as the perfect complement to her glamorous gown, as the young royal beamed while taking in the official military parade. Princess Eleanore even seemed to channel her mother's hairdo with relaxed waves - tucked behind her ears to show the full glam of the stunning jewellery. PRINCESS CHARLOTTE AND THE PRINCESS OF WALES Young princess Charlotte isn't quite at the age where she is able to share clothes with her notoriously stylish mother, The Princess of Wales - but there have been signs she's already started raiding her closet. On Father's Day, the family shared a sweet snap of Prince William with his three children Charlotte, 10, Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, seven. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice the princess wearing her mother's dark nay and green checked scarf. Kate kept warm in the same scarf last December while at the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church. LADY LOUISE WINDSOR AND SOPHIE, DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH During a visit to Birmingham in 2022 for the Commonwealth Games, Lady Louise wore a £985 Peter Pilotto gown from her mother's wardrobe and paired it with a pair of classic white trainers. The number was first worn by the Duchess of Edinburgh, 58, to the Chelsea Flower Show in May 2015 in London. For the 2019 Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene's Church at Sandringham, the 19-year-old wore a Stella McCartney coat owned by her mother. The Marcelline checkered coat was worn by the then-Countess of Wessex on New Year's Eve to attend church on the Sandringham estate in 2017. In the past, Lady Louise has too borrowed a classic monochrome dress by Alaïa for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding in 2018. Sophie had also appeared in the same grey and white skater dress in 2016 at The Patron's Lunch, a celebration connected with Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday. During a visit to Birmingham in 2023 for the Commonwealth Games, Lady Louise wore a £985 Peter Pilotto gown from her mother's wardrobe and paired it with a pair of classic white trainers For the 2019 Christmas Day service at Sandringham, the 19-year-old (left) wore a Stella McCartney coat owned by her mother (right) Louise also borrowed a classic monochrome dress by Alaïa for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding in 2018 (left), first worn by her mother in 2016 (right) PRINCESS ALEXANDRA OF HANOVER AND PRINCESS CAROLINE OF MONACO Princess Alexandra of Hanover made headlines last year when she attended the Chanel Haute Couture spring/summer 2024 show, wearing a little black dress brimming with history. The monochrome tweed mini had been worn by her mother, Princess Caroline of Monaco, back in 1990. Originating from the autumn/winter 1990 couture collection, the frock incorporated a contrasting collar, scalloped stitching and double-breasted front, featuring buttons painted with a silhouette of Coco Chanel. PRINCESS ESTELLE AND CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA OF SWEDEN Princess Estelle of Sweden, who is second in line to the Swedish throne, in 2023 stepped out wearing a green gown previously worn by her mother, Crown Princess Victoria. The then 11-year-old wore the H&M Conscious Collection gown in green tulle, to Drottningholm Palace Theatre for a jubilee performance in honour of her maternal grandfather, King Carl XVI Gustaf. The dress was an altered version of the same gown that her mother wore to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce gala dinner in June 2022 in Amsterdam. Estelle paired it with a suite of jewels set with diamonds and peridots along with metallic flats. CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA AND QUEEN SILVIA OF SWEDEN Not only does Crown Princess Victoria hand down her dresses to her daughter, but she has raided her own mother's wardrobe in the past. The 48-year-old wore a vintage Nina Ricci piece for the Nobel Prize banquet at City Hall in Stockholm in December 2018. It was first seen on Queen Silvia, 81, at the 1995 Nobel Prize banquet event in Stockholm. Another family ensemble for Victoria included a yellow outfit worn to a seminar in Stockholm in 2017, 39 years after her mother Silvia donned the same look during a visit to Moscow in June 1978. The Crown Princess wore the striped yellow dress but decided not to include the matching hat seen when her mother wore.

Sharing dress styles appears to be a tradition PRINCESS ALEXIA AND QUEEN MAXIMA OF THE NETHERLANDS Princess Alexia of the Netherlands proved she has inherited her mother Queen Máxima's sense of style as she carried out her first solo engagement two years ago. The 20-year-old royal, who is second in line to the Dutch throne behind her sister Princess Catharina-Amalia, opted for an elegant navy midi dress as she launched the ship Vox Alexia in Rotterdam. The Oscar de la Renta number featured cut-out details on the shoulders, a billowing skirt and white and blue ruffles along the long sleeves. The dress was first worn by her mother, Maxima, 54, in June 2019 at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in The Hague, Netherlands.

Launch of Global Impact Champions Awards for Financial Health
SINGAPORE, Aug. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) has launched the inaugural Global Impact Champions Awards, with the 2025 theme being Financial Health. These awards spotlight FinTech startups delivering scalable solutions that improve people's financial lives - helping individuals manage daily needs, build resilience to shocks, plan for a secure future, and feel confident about their finances. Winning FinTech startups from around the world will be awarded up to US$1 million, subject to terms and conditions. Winners will be presented the awards and invited to speak at the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) 2025 in November, attended by a global audience of over 60,000 participants from more than 135 countries. The winners will be informally showcased at the GFTN International Advisory Board (IAB) meeting in The Hague in October. "Financial inclusion is a means to an end. Financial health is the outcome we need, where people can manage daily needs, plan for the future, handle shocks, and feel confident about their financial lives," Her Majesty Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Financial Health and Chair of GFTN IAB, said during the 2024 Singapore FinTech Festival. Why Financial Health is the Next Step to Financial Inclusion? "A decade of fintech innovation has shown us that financial inclusion is only the start. What truly matters is financial health - helping people manage daily needs, plan for the future, withstand shocks, and gain confidence in their financial lives. The Global Impact Champions Awards for Financial Health is GFTN's effort to discover the impact makers - those who not only build systems but also transform lives," said Sopnendu Mohanty, Group CEO of GFTN. Awards' Significance Financial access is expanding - eight in ten adults now have an account, but access alone does not ensure financial health. In a world shaped by economic volatility, rising debt, and the disruptive effects of AI and automation, too many people remain financially insecure. Only one in three adults globally could cover two months of expenses after an income loss, underscoring the urgent need to strengthen household resilience. While FinTech innovation has expanded the reach of financial services, real progress depends on improving outcomes and ensuring that people can manage daily needs, navigate uncertainty, and plan for the future with confidence. The Global Impact Champions Awards for Financial Health aim to accelerate this shift by spotlighting innovators who deliver measurable improvements in people's financial lives. The awards will recognise FinTech's potential to move beyond access toward inclusive, AI-enabled solutions that build long-term financial wellbeing, agency and security. Why Award FinTech Startups? FinTech startups are reimagining financial services to improve people's financial health, not just expanding access. Many are developing solutions that help users budget, save, build credit safely, plan ahead and manage unexpected shocks. They are leveraging emerging technologies, such as AI, blockchain, and mobile-first platforms, to deliver inclusive, data-driven and user-centric financial tools. Yet despite their promise, startups remain under-recognized in global efforts to strengthen resilience and wellbeing. By awarding FinTech startups, GFTN seeks to accelerate investment and visibility for high-potential ventures delivering tangible, scalable improvements in people's financial lives.

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands reveals sassy phone case as she poses for sweet family photo with the Dutch royals
Princess Alexia of the Netherlands showed that being second in line to the throne doesn't stop her from following Gen Z trends, when she was snapped clutching her mobile phone with a sticker branding her a 'Matcha Princess' on the cover. Matcha, a type of powdered green tea processed from shade-grown tea leaves, is hugely popular among young people thanks to its purported ability to to provide energy without the jitters associated with coffee. And Alexia appears to be among those who enjoy the fashionable beverage. The 20-year-old's love of matcha was revealed while she was attending the graduation ceremony of her sister Princess Amalia, 21, in Amsterdam. A photograph from the event shows Queen Maxima, 54, King Willem-Alexander, 58, his mother Princess Beatrix, 86, and Princess Ariane, 18, as the family celebrated the graduation of Princess Amalia in Amsterdam on Monday. Alexia looked chic at the event, donning a white shirt which was half-tucked into a black maxi skirt. Meanwhile, Amalia - who is also known as the Princess of Orange - wore an off the shoulder maroon frock as she participated in the Graduation Ceremony of the Bachelor of Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE). Due to breaking her arm last month, the royal was granted a postponement for one subject. After successfully completing this course, she will be able to receive her bachelor's degree for PPLE. According to the Royal Family's website, the heir's final thesis is titled Beyond Disclosure: Bridging the Gap Between the Artificial Intelligence Act and the Charter of Fundamental Rights with Deepfaked Bodies and 'concerns an investigation into the tension between European fundamental rights and AI legislation'. When she completes her final subject, she will receive her bachelor's degree for PPLE, before starting a bachelor's degree in Dutch Law, also at the University of Amsterdam in the new academic year. Amalia, 21, broke her upper arm in a fall from her horse on June 10. She was operated on that day at UMC Utrecht, with the royal website announcing that the surgery 'went well'. Her studies weren't the only commitment that was affected following the accident: the family's annual Summer portrait session was also postponed as result. Originally due to take place on June 12, the session at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague was pushed to June 30. Despite the delay, when the portraits were released, the family appeared in high spirits in the photos, posing happily in the picturesque setting alongside their family dog Mambo. Queen Maxima looked typically stylish in the photo set, donning a £1,050 blue and white Zimmermann 'Wylie' belted cotton midi dress which she paired with £685 ivory Aquazzura Kahlo espadrille wedges. She was seen sporting her Olympia Babylonia infinity cabochon hoops earrings and holding her Tom Ford scarlet sunglasses. Meanwhile, Amalia, channelled her mother's fashion with flair as she posed in a colourful £250 ROTATE Birger Christensen top paired with white jeans. She opted for casual footwear, donning the £110 Addias Handball Spezial trainers in collegiate green as she also held onto her £400 Celine triomphe sunglasses. Princess Ariane, 18, opted for a business-chic ensemble, donning £485 beige black striped Max Mara linen trousers with a matching £775 waistcoat, which she wore unbuttoned, with a simple black top underneath. And Alexia looked dazzling in a £115 green Cos open-back cotton maxi dress which she paired with her £124 Ibeliv mini raffia cocktail bag. Like her older sister Amalia, she decided to opt for espadrilles from Zara, which cost under £50 and accessorised with her Ariane's Bodes & Bode gold heart earrings and Rosa de la Cruz gold smile charm necklace. As ever, King Willem-Alexander looked dapper in a grey blazer paired with a crisp white shirt and navy trousers, complete with brown suede boots.

Dutch king now accused of 'power move' in Trump meeting after Queen denies she mocked his voice
A viral moment between King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and US President Donald Trump has sparked heated debate online. And some viewers are labeling the Dutch monarch's handshake as a calculated 'power move.' The interaction occurred during the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague on June 24, where the Dutch royals formally greeted Trump. Footage of the handshake, which has gained over 4.2 million views on TikTok, shows Willem-Alexander gripping Trump's hand and appearing to yank it towards his midriff - a move many believe mirrors Trump's own famously assertive handshake style. Trump has long been known for using strong handshakes as a form of nonverbal dominance. Past clips show him pulling leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau toward him with force. The Dutch king's move has prompted some to suggest he deliberately flipped the script. A video montage of Trump's handshakes with world figures, including Vladimir Putin and US Justice Neil Gorsuch, sets up the context before cutting to Willem-Alexander's interaction. Unlike many others caught off-guard by Trump's grip, Willem-Alexander appeared prepared and steady. Social media users have praised the king's composure, with some suggesting it was a subtle assertion of equal footing. The moment came just days after Queen Maxima faced scrutiny for allegedly mocking Trump's mouth movements during a previous meeting. She has since denied the claim. While the queen's reaction initially drew attention, the king's handshake is now the focal point of online discourse. Experts have long analyzed Trump's handshake tactics, calling them attempts to assert psychological dominance. Florin Dolcos, a psychology professor, once described Trump's approach as 'trying too hard' to maintain control in interactions. Whether Willem-Alexander's response was intentional or instinctual remains unclear. Neither the Dutch royal family nor Trump's team has publicly commented on the handshake. Still, the moment has sparked renewed interest in political body language at high-profile events. The handshake has become the latest symbol in a growing archive of viral NATO summit moments. And with over 400,000 likes on TikTok alone, it's clear this isn't just a handshake - it's headline news.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looks chic as she joins her three daughters for their traditional summer portraits
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands put her best fashion foot forward in a stylish ensemble as she posed with her family for their annual portraits. The Dutch royal family appeared in high spirits as they gathered in front of the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague - a picturesque setting for their summer photoshoot. Queen Maxima, 54, King Willem-Alexander, 58, Princess Amalia, 21, Princess Alexia, 20 and Princess Ariane, 18, beamed alongside their family dog Mambo as they posted in scenic meadows to mark the start of summer. The photocall had been delayed from June 12 after Crown Princess Amalia broke her arm after falling from her horse. Florals seemed to be a running fashion theme, with the Queen's daughters stealing the show with their photogenic good looks as they all took inspiration from their mother's striking ensembles over the years. The mother-of-three was pictured wearing a £1,050 blue and white Zimmermann 'Wylie' belted cotton midi dress which she paired with £685 ivory Aquazzura Kahlo espadrille wedges. She was seen sporting her Olympia Babylonia infinity cabochon hoops earrings and holding her Tom Ford scarlet sunglasses. Crown Princess Amalia, 21, channelled her mother's fashion with flair as she posed in a colourful £250 ROTATE Birger Christensen top paired with white jeans. She went for casual footwear, donning the £110 Addias Handball Spezial trainers in collegiate green as she also held onto her £400 Celine triomphe sunglasses. Amalia - who is the heir to the Dutch throne - was seen posing and laughing with her mother as they strolled around the beautiful palace grounds. At one point, the Princess of Orange was seen teasing Mambo with a stick as others watched her playing with their poodle in a sweet candid shot. Her sister, Princess Ariane, 18, decided to go for a business-chic ensemble, donning £485 beige black striped Max Mara linen trousers with a matching £775 waistcoat, which she wore unbuttoned, with a simple black top underneath. Princess Alexia, 20, looked dazzling in a £115 green Cos open-back cotton maxi dress which she paired with her £124 Ibeliv mini raffia cocktail bag. Like her older sister Amalia, she decided to opt for espadrilles from Zara, which cost under £50 and accessorised with her Ariane's Bodes & Bode gold heart earrings and Rosa de la Cruz gold smile charm necklace. For their makeup, the four women opted for natural, dewy makeup that helped bring out their eyes and natural features. Amalia wore her hair in a slicked back ponytail and Alexia opted to don her tresses in a messy low bun. However, Maxima and Ariane sported bouncy volume and let their golden brown and blonde locks fall casually around their face. As ever, King Willem-Alexander looked dapper in a grey blazer paired with a crisp white shirt and navy trousers, complete with brown suede boots. Princess of Orange was seen teasing Mambo with a stick as others watched her playing with their poodle in a sweet candid shot Mambo who took centre stage - yet again - as their furry four-legged friend sat perfectly behaved on Maxima's lap for the occasion But it was Mambo who took centre stage - yet again - as their furry four-legged friend sat perfectly behaved on Maxima's lap for the occasion. The family adopted Mambo in 2021, and he has seen been an integral member of their life. The Dutch royals are also the proud owners of three Labradors named Skipper, Luna and Nala. The photoshoot comes after Maxima broke her silence following allegations she was mocking President Trump. The Dutch royal was standing right next to Trump and her husband King Willem-Alexander as they posed for pictures after the US president arrived in the European country for the NATO summit. While making small talk, Maxima had appeared to 'mock' the way Trump's mouth moved and pulled a face before turning towards the cameras. The split-second reaction didn't go unnoticed by eagle-eyed social media users, who wrote: 'You have to watch how Queen Maxima of the Netherlands mocks Trump's speaking right in front of him.' Writing on X/Twitter, CNN editor Vani Mehrotra observed: 'Did she really do that? Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is believed to be mocking Donald Trump.' But during the royal family 's annual summer photo session on Monday, Maxima set the record straight. The Dutch royal family appeared in high spirits as they gathered in front of the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague - a picturesque place for their photoshoot Speaking to Dutch outlet AD, she clarified what actually happened, telling reporters: 'I said "thank you" to someone who had helped', adding that meeting the president had been a 'pleasant experience'. Meanwhile her eldest daughter and heir to the throne, Princess Amalia, said it was 'really cool' she had the opportunity to meet 'the president of America'. In the clip, the trio was seen smiling for cameras as Trump, 79, gave a thumbs-up while the King appeared to stand a bit closer to the commander-in-chief than his wife. Trump and the King made small talk and laughed a bit while Queen Maxima stayed quiet and continued to smile. 'That's the picture we want,' Trump said as the King told him: 'Well I hope you slept well!' 'It was great, the house is...' Trump replied as he smiled one last time before thanking everyone there. As he did so, Queen Maxima appeared to mock the way his mouth moved before turning toward the cameras.
