As the world gears up for the arrival of Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry’s royal baby, there are plenty of things we have to look forward to over the coming months.

There’s the anticipation of baby names, adorable new pictures and too many cute dad moments from Harry to even fathom.

But for new mums (and fashion enthusiasts) out there, there’s another very important thing we’re waiting to see: What will Baby Sussex wear!?

There’s no denying Baby Sussex has a lot to live up to, but little does the unborn tyke know that it’s actually already nailed the style stakes even as a baby bump, to which its stylish mum dressed to perfection over the course of her pregnancy.

And if there was ever anyone we don’t need to worry about when it comes to fashion, it’d be any child of Meghan Markle’s.

That’s why we’ll be waiting with baited breath to see exactly what the royal tyke will wear – before promptly buying versions of said ensembles for our own kids.

Lucky for us, there’s already a whole world of inspiration out there, with some clothing labels launching their own royal baby-inspired collections ahead of the big arrival.

One such brand is Boden, whose “best of British baby” collection pays homage to all the things that make baby clothes (and Britain, of course), great.

The line features different ranges reminiscent of the UK’s unique and charming style, such as traditional embroidered rompers and dresses that Princes George and Louis, as well as Princess Charlotte would approve of.

There’s also a selection of baby clothes featuring familiar British sights, including the iconic red double-decker bus and a classic bearskin hat donned by a very cute dog.

And while we can’t pick exactly what Baby Sussex will wear just yet, we have plenty of inspiration from the adorable Cambridge clan.

If you’ve got a growing young lad, there are some sweet and smart outfits out there worthy of Prince George, but with no royal budget necessary.

Clothing brand Next have a plethora of styles similar to those seen on the young Prince in his early years – particularly his now-iconic shirt-and-short look.

Meanwhile, if you’ve been blessed with a baby girl, there are certain brands that Princess Charlotte (and her mum Kate) already swears by.

And to the delight of the masses, they won’t stretch the bank account too much either.

When Princess Charlotte turned two, her regal parents shared a sweet picture of her wearing a beautiful yellow cardigan from John Lewis.

While it sold out within minutes, there are plenty of similar options that’ll do the trick.

This similar style from the same brand is sure to have the Princess’ tick of approval! Available for $12 here.

And while young Prince Louis hasn’t had ample opportunity to make his own style statement, it’s easy to see he’s going to be one to watch.

In the official family photographs documenting Prince Charles 70th birthday, Prince Louis was seen wearing a sweet embroided shirt by British brand La Coqueta.

While this particular brand can be on the pricier side, there are plenty of dupes out there that look just as schmick.
