Since marrying into the royal family, Kate Middleton has famously been consistent with designers she chooses to wear. She's often in Alexander McQueen, L.K. Bennett, or Zara, but in recent years, it appears the Princess of Wales has added a new brand to her favorites list: Self-Portrait.

Kate first wore the beloved British label in 2016 and has since stepped out donning a number of their dresses for public engagements, royal tours, and family gatherings. And she isn't the only royal who loves Self-Portrait either! Princess Beatrice is also a big fan and Meghan Markle has previously made an appearance in one of their reasonably priced frocks.

Ahead, all our favorite times the royals wore Self-Portrait along with similar options for snagging the looks yourself.
