Royal style file: Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice's looks over the years

The world has watched as the two York sister have grown up into young women - and seen their style change with them.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, as two of the youngest members of the royal family, have often attracted attention for their fashion choices throughout the decades.

They're well known for their eclectic and unusual style - and their fabulously outrageous hats.

It was the two sisters sparked a media frenzy at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding in 2011, when they both wore two outlandish Philip Treacy designs.

Beatrice and Eugenie often sport a more demure style. As two young royals, they'd usually be spotted wearing the standard royal uniform of pretty tea dresses and buckled shoes. But it's special occasions where the sisters really come int their own.

As the sisters approached their teen years, they began to be a little more experimental with their choices, often wearing brightly coloured frocks and matching jewellery.

But in their 20s, the two Princesses appear to have found their fashion groove. Now, they mix up their looks on a regular basis, switching between subtle and demure options when working and at serious events - and being a little more daring with sleek but zany gowns - and of course, their signature hats.

So, as everyone waits with bated breath to find out what the York sisters will wear to Meghan and Harry's wedding this Saturday, we take a look back at Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie's fashion through the years...
