Queen Letizia

Sure we've seen the best celebrity #10yearchallenge pictures, but wouldn't it be great if the royals got in on the fun too? To quench your royal thirst, we've compiled and made our own #10yearchallenge photos starring our favorite Dukes, Queens and Duchesses (and especially our Latinx royals). From Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to King Felipe and Queen Letizia, these sovereigns have changed a lot in the last decade. Scroll through and enjoy the flashback!

Queen Letizia

Ten years later and Queen Letizia is still as elegant as ever. Since 2009, she's gone from an award-winning journalist for CNN+ to becoming the Queen of Spain. After Juan Carlos I abdicated in 2014, her mother-in-law Queen Sofia passed down the crown to Letizia. She still rocks a shoulder-length do (and tiara) like no other and together with her husband, King Felipe, she is raising two beautiful daughters—Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, the future of the Spanish monarchy.

The biggest change for King Felipe in the last ten years was when he officially became the King of Spain in 2014 after his father Juan Carlos I abdicated. Another notable change is King Felipe's salt n' pepper beard. Other than that, he is still happily married to Letizia Ortiz, the former award-winning CNN+ journalist and the current Queen of Spain. The royal couple has two lovely daughters together—Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía.

Meghan Markle's transformation is #goals. In 2009, she had stints in several television shows like Fringe and CSI, but it was in 2011 that the former actress landed her famous role as Rachel Zane in Suits. Since then, Meghan has had a whirlwind romance with Prince Harry, a spectacular royal wedding, and now she's expecting her first child as the Duchess of Sussex.

Ten years ago, Prince Harry was in full army mode. He was deployed to Afghanistan and had just broken things off with his ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy. Now, the Duke of Sussex is happily married to Meghan Markle and the two are expecting their first baby together this spring. Oh, and he's also said hola to a bearded look.
