When royals give us a masterclass in how to handle a heatwave

Who doesn't love a beach day? Granted, it may not be the easiest place to run to if you're stuck working in an office all day, but why not organise a fun trip at the weekend?

Just remember to pack a bottle of sunscreen!

And bring a bottle of water or two.

Still or sparkling, it'll do the trick.

Of course, a cool beer is always a winner.

The Queen likes to keep cool with a cheeky Mr Whippy.

It's a treat loved by all generations!

Both Kate and Camilla know to carry fans when the sun comes out.

Never fear if you don't have a chic accessory though. Kate used her plastic ID to fan herself during the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Or go one step further like the King and splash out on a mini Dyson fan (centre of the photo).

Carrying a parasol might not be that practical in the city, but it certainly looks chic!

A wide-brimmed hat might be a more practical solution.

Whatever the occasion, always pack a pair of sunglasses.

The royals love to be suited and booted, but if your job or a fancy outing requires you to look smart, opt for linen like the King to keep your cool. Straw hat is optional, of course.
