When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry she unexpectedly found herself plunged into the confusing world of royal traditions.
Suddenly nearly every choice she made was a matter of public concern. Here, we look at five times Meghan broke royal protocol…
The royals normally only wear black at evening events or during periods of mourning. Meghan broke this tradition on many occasions, including at the British Ambassador’s Summer Party in Dublin.
When Meghan and Harry announced their engagement in 2017, one thing appeared to be missing - her tights. Meghan opted to go bare-legged, which is against royal fashion protocol.
Getting married on a weekend is completely normal for the average couple. However, the Royal Family has a tradition that sees most weddings take place on a weekday.
Following all three of Kate Middleton’s births, she walked out of hospital for a photocall. Meghan and Harry skipped this tradition, celebrating the arrival of son Archie in 2019 privately.
After skipping the photocall following little Archie’s birth, the pair decided to take the same approach to his Christening by having it media-free and with just 25 guests.
