Usually very diligent with British royal protocol, Kate Middleton surprisingly broke it this weekend with her beauty treatment. Here is the detail that you may not have noticed and that breaks with tradition.
The royal family was out on Sunday April 9 to attend the royal Easter Matins service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor. Kate Middleton was radiant in an electric blue set mixing dress, coat and hat matching the outfit of her daughter Charlotte. A surprising detail, however, diverted our attention from her flashy outfit and particularly retained her: on the hand with which she held that of little Prince Louis, we could notice that she was wearing red nail polish.
A colorful manicure worn on short nails and filed so that they are slightly rounded at the corners, which is none other thana breach of the protocol that governs the beauty routine of all the women of the royal family of England, from that of the late Queen Elizabeth II in person to that of the elegant Kate Middleton. We explain to you how this unexpected and very surprising detail in view of the British tradition.

Nail polish: what are the rules imposed by royal protocol?
It is less well known, but the protocol rules that must be respected by members of the British royal family also concern the beauty of women, not just their dress. If Kate Middleton, as well as Queen Elizabeth II and Meghan Markle in their time, have always presented themselves with the impeccably painted nails at official events, it’s not just because they have access to the best beauty institutes. It’s protocol that prohibits them from exposing their bare fingernails.
And if we only see the women of the royal family of England with nude manicures or delicate pink nails, it’s not necessarily out of taste but because royal protocol prohibits bright colors – like red nail polish – on their nails during official events. That’s why we’re so surprised to see Kate Middleton wearing this colorful shade of nail polish this Easter. She who regularly wore Queen Elizabeth II’s favorite nude nail polish, will she get rid of certain beauty rules of the protocol to personalize her beauty?
