Sophie Wessex and Kate Middleton — who have become beloved members of the royal family — often show off their chic outfits.

For her part, Kate Middleton has transitioned into wearing workwear while attending royal events.
"There is an absolute feeling that it [the public work] is not about what the princess is wearing," a source told
