The royal family has its own rules and traditions, and all members have followed every rule very strictly.
But, the rebel of the British royal family was Princess Diana, and she had good reasons for it. For example, her revenge dress, her honest interviews about her relationship with her husband, or her hugs with people who had HIV. Every act of her shocked the media and other members of the Royal family.
It seems that Princess Diana’s son Prince Harry following his mother’s footsteps. As latest rebels among the monarchs are the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex that continues to prove the idea that most Royal rules and traditions are things of the past.
1. Meghan Markle doesn’t wear a bra during an official event.
On her very first appearance in public as the Duchess, Meghan Markle wore a nude dress from Goat and a hat from Philip Treacy that matched the dress.
But, all the press and royal fans noticed that she didn’t wear a bra. The unwritten rules say that the women of the royal family can’t appear at official events without wearing this piece of underwear. But the Duchess has a different opinion about it.
Markle supports the idea of feminism, she is convinced that an elegant style can and should be combined with her comfort.
2. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle don’t hide their feelings in public.
Hugs and kisses in public are not allowed in the Royal family, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex don’t think that there is anything wrong with it. They have never feel shy to hold hands and hug each other, and after the win in the charity polo event, Prince Harry kissed Meghan Markle passionately.
3. Meghan Markle closes car doors by herself.
This thing is not a big part of the protocol, but, the members of the Royal family don’t do that.
Etiquette expert William Hanson pointed out that this is not a protocol breach and said, “Usually, if you are a member of the royal family or a dignitary, you have a member of staff to open and close a car door for you.” But her old habits show how shy Markle still is.
4. Prince Harry flew to Canada to see Meghan Markle after his Caribbean tour.
When Prince Harry didn’t propose to Markle, he visited her in Toronto where the actress was in the middle of shooting a film.
But this contradicts the official policy of the royal family that its members should not combine official visits with their meetings. After his Caribbean tour, Prince Harry was supposed to go back to London where his some public events were planned already, but he went to see Meghan instead.
5. Meghan Markle doesn’t wear pantyhose.
Pantyhose are compulsory clothing that should be in the wardrobe of the Royal family members when they appear in public.
Queen Elizabeth II requires the Royal family to always follow this rule no matter what the weather is. But Meghan Markle didn’t follow this rule and captured several times without wearing it. She also wore open-toed shoes, which are another taboo, according to royal etiquette.
6. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their shoes off on the beach.
In October 2018, the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex visited the famous Sydney Bondi Beach. They spent a good time on the beach. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took off their shoes and walked on the beautiful sand barefoot. It is also a direct contradiction of royal etiquette, and this prohibition works mostly for women.
