The length of the dresses, the material, the color: when it comes to fashion, the royals have to adhere to many rules – and this also applies to their underwear!
Kate just always looks gorgeous. Whatever the Duchess wears is sold out worldwide within a few hours. But as stylish as it may be, there are numerous fashion rules that it has to adhere to – especially when it comes to the underneath!
Kate and the other members of the royal family do not get their steel bodies – at least when they appear in public – with a sexy lace bra and thong. As etiquette expert Myka Meier told the British tabloid newspaper 'The Sun', they have to wear a special body.
It is an undergarment that is almost like a full body suit.
Thanks to the special material, the clothing of the blue-blooded women should hug this "full-body garment", which in turn prevents their skirts from flying up uncontrollably in gusts of wind.
That this doesn't always work despite functional underwear, however, has already been proven by Duchess Kate, who exposed her crisp downside a few years ago when a helicopter took off near her. In any case, the photographers were pleased.
Whether Kate exchanges the royal body for sexy lingerie every now and then, however, has not been recorded.
Even more rules for the British nobles
But that is by no means the only rule to which the beautiful noblewoman and the other members of the British royal family, including the Queen herself, have to submit. They are not allowed to vote or hold political office. You are not allowed to eat shellfish to prevent food poisoning and only eat when the Queen reaches for her cutlery.
Anyone who dreams of putting an arm around Kate, William and Co. will be disappointed, because overly intimate gestures are taboo for non-blue-blooded people. Anyone who has always wanted to give the royals a gift is in luck, because according to courtly protocol they have to accept every present with thanks. And since all presents belong to the crown, the queen decides who gets which present.
Do you still want to be a princess? How good that rules are always there to be broken. In theory at least …
