Becoming a royal sounds great and all, but given the long list of rules they have to follow, it sort of loses its appeal.
Well, now there's another rule to be aware of, and it's making us confused AF.
Becoming a royal sounds great and all, but given the long list of rules they have to follow, it sort of loses its appeal.
Well, now there's another rule to be aware of, and it's making us confused AF.
And by strings, we mean a very longggg list of strict royal rules.
Recently, royal etiquette expert Myka Meier recently broke them down in an interview with news.com.au.
It's a rule the Queen stands by most.
“It’s very traditional for female members to wear them,” Meier explained.
In addition to that, the women can't even dress themselves for big events.
Instead, both Kate and Meghan have their own team of aides who help them dress.
No wonder we never catch the Duchesses in blue jeans whilst in royal mode.
And by disrobe, that doesn't mean getting naked in public, obv, but rather, they're not allowed to take off their jackets in public.
This definitely begs the question (especially during the summertime): what if they get hot?
“Whether it’s a blazer or a jacket when all eyes and cameras are on you, working royals are taught not to disrobe in the public eye,” Meier explained.
Diamonds, of course!
“Other jewels are worn pre-6 p.m.,” Meier told News.com.au.
While this does make a bit of sense, let's not forget that they're royals; they're meant to look a little flashy, even if that's at four p.m.
She looked stunning in the Queen's bandeau tiara, which originally belonged to Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth's grandmother.
It was reported that the Queen instructed her senior aide, 49-year-old Samantha Cohen, to teach Markle everything there is to know about being a proper Duchess.
"In terms of etiquette, there may be some advice on 'British' traditions such as tea parties and formal banquets," explained The English Manner Chief Executive, Alexandra Messervy.
She does have that Markle sparkle, after all.
