A fashion feature revisits nine royal leopard-print outfits worn between 1957 and 2021. It includes Princess Margaret in a coat, Queen Elizabeth II in a real-fur coat, Princess Diana in a swimsuit, Meghan Markle in heels and Princess Kate in a skirt.
Margaret wore her coat at the 1957 Badminton Horse Trials; Elizabeth II wore hers at Sandown Park in 1962, and Diana paired a Jantzen swimsuit with a sarong on a 1990 Caribbean holiday. Later entries show Meghan in leopard heels in New York (2016), Lady Amelia Windsor and Princess Olympia of Greece in 2017, Queen Letizia in Madrid in 2018, Kate in a Zara skirt in Cardiff in 2020, and Duchess Sophie in a hat and clutch in 2021.
The article says leopard print appeared in spring/summer 2027 collections by Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli and Diane von Furstenberg. It describes Elizabeth II’s 1962 real-fur coat as one of her more controversial fashion choices; in 2019, dresser Angela Kelly said the Queen would wear faux fur going forward.
