The royals certainly have impeccable fashion sense. Just take the late Princess Diana, whose forward-thinking aesthetic has solidified her as one of the greatest style icons of all time, or Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, who consistently cause pieces to sell out shortly after wearing them. For anyone eager to copy their looks: Nordstrom carries tons of royal-backed brands, many of which are on sale now thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
That's right! A number of Windsor family favorites will be discounted, starting today, July 17, through August 6, thanks to Anniversary Sale deals that are not to be missed. Though all of these items will return to full price when the sale ends, most won't stay in stock that long.
