Princess Beatrice wears a pair of £715 shoes royals wouldn't typically wear

We are still reeling over the stunning outfit Princess Beatrice wore last month. The daughter of Prince Andrew went to the National Gallery with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, wearing the most stunning sequin dress by high-end brand Markarian. It was so gorgeous; we've been thinking about it ever since.

Not only was it backless, but the royal accessorised to perfection, wearing a delightful headband and a cute clutch bag. However, we have just discovered her shoes! You can just about see them in the below picture, but they've been identified online as the 'Blush Olie Plateau Metallic Leather Platform Sandals' by Aquazzura. The £715 shoes were quite a surprising item; royal ladies tend to wear stilettos or fancy flats; so these platforms were quite directional! We love them.
