Yesterday was a big family outing for the royals as both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton brought their children to cheer on their respective dads, Prince William and Prince Harry, as they played against each other a charity polo match.

The Duchess of Sussex proved yet again that she thinks outside the sartorial box by not only succumbing to this season’s biggest trend (linen) but by putting her own spin on it too.

You see the olive green linen dress by Lisa Marie Fernandez comes with a belt, however the royal made it look even cooler my removing it and wearing it oversizes, this making it look chicer and perfect for the hot weather.

Meanwhile, Kate was her usual ladylike self, opting for a printed tea dress by high street brand L.K.Bennett, which she teamed with her favourite Castaner wedges.

In other stylish news, baby Louis stole the show by literally stealing his mother’s designer sunglasses and waving at baby Archie, who was snuggling in his mother’s arms.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
