Tod's

Princess Diana loved Tod's driving shoes so much, she owned several pairs in different colorways. Here she is wearing the loafers in tan during her history-making trip to Angola in 1997.

Arthur Sleep

The royal men tend to be pretty close-lipped about their footwear choices (John Lobb is rumored to shoe many of the royal gents, but does not confirm their client list) but this pair of Black Cashmere Slippers from Arthur Sleep has been one of Prince William's go-to looks for formal events. His brother, Prince Harry, is reportedly a fan as well—the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry reportedly gave him a pair of bespoke velvet pair as a wedding present.
