The royal dress code, an unofficial but closely followed set of rules that’s been handed down and modified by Kings and Queens over the centuries, sets out all kinds of dos and don’ts.
Former royal butler Grant Harrold tells MailOnline: ‘A royal's clothes shouldn't take the focus away from the event or what they're doing.’ He explains that while they want to stand out, they also need to be modest: ‘If you look at Princess Diana or Catherine, they've worn outfits that some might say bend those rules a bit, but they've always stayed true to the protocols.’
According to royal expert Myka Meier of Beaumont Etiquette: ‘This small yet thoughtful detail allows them to navigate public engagements with grace, ensuring they’re always prepared for interaction.’ The Duchess of Sussex alternatively wore muted tones and subdued colours during her time as a working royal, explaining it was so that she could blend in.The royal family has many rules surrounding the length of garments to remain modest and exude elegance and sophistication, mirroring the monarchy.
Meghan however bucked this trend, championing her fashion staple the mini dress, wearing a tuxedo style by Judith & Charles for a performance of Hamilton in 2018. Although for her first joint engagement with the Queen, the Duchess of Sussex possibly broke the golden hat rule when she decided to forego a headpiece for their trip to Chester in 2018 but other reports say she was told to avoid a hat and the colour green.Even casual dressing comes with a set of rules, and jeans are strictly reserved for off-duty appearances.
Liz Wyse says: ‘When members of the royal family wear casual clothing, they always look polished, never scruffy.’Tiaras, the ultimate symbol of regal elegance, are reserved for the most exclusive of occasions.
