If you’ve been wanting to give your everyday outfits a bit of a lift, Princess Diana’s nieces may have just shown exactly how it’s done. Stepping out at Cheltenham Festival last week, Lady Eliza and Lady Amelia proved that one good handbag really can make the whole look, and Aspinal’s Midi Mayfair style did exactly that.

The duo are brand ambassadors for the British label, and are often snapped wearing the pretty designs. Eliza kept things classic with a rich tan, while Amelia went for a chic teal shade that felt a little brighter and suited to spring. Smart enough for race days to weddings, but still easy to throw on with tailoring or even jeans when you want to look pulled together with minimal effort.

And the sisters are in very good company. Zara Tindall has already been spotted carrying this exact colourway, while Princess Catherine has backed the style time and time again in bold red and classic black.

If you’re after a handbag that feels expensive, timeless and genuinely wearable, this is it. Shop their looks below, along with a few similar royal favourites.

In a warm tan shade, this design goes with everything and has an appeal that never really dates. The croc-embossed leather gives it a rich, textured finish, while the structured shape keeps it looking sharp and put-together.

Finished with the brand’s signature gold-tone hardware and shield clasp, it feels luxe, and with both a top handle and optional chain strap to change it to a crossbody bag, it’s just as practical as it is chic.

Crafted from croc-embossed leather in a striking turquoise hue, the structured silhouette feels both bold and refined, instantly lifting any outfit. The design is finished with the brand’s signature gold-tone hardware and distinctive shield clasp.

An elegant top handle keeps the look classic, while the detachable chain strap allows it to be worn crossbody or over the shoulder for a more relaxed, modern feel.
