Queen Letizia of Spain is on everyone's lips with her pink dress including cut-outs. Admittedly, you rarely see a royal lady who deliberately emphasizes her abdominal muscles. But the mother of two is not the only blue-blooded woman who likes to do her own thing when it comes to fashion, despite the strict dress code! This is not uncommon, especially in the British royal family…
Duchess Kate
Prince William's wife is actually the absolute style queen among the royals – but she has also violated royal protocol at one time or another. Above all, Duchess Kate's short dresses and skirts are said to have been a thorn in the side of the Queen for a long time. Because one of the most important fashion rules of the royals is: the knees are not shown! However, Kate doesn't give a damn about that - even during her pregnancy!
Even if the monarch doesn't like it, Kate likes to show a little more skin - and not just underneath. Her dress, which she wore in 2015 to the premiere of the new James Bond film "Spectre" in London, is almost legendary. The fabric on the back was transparent, and there was apparently no trace of a bra.
By the way, the Duchess of Cambridge has been out and about strapless in the past…
Duchess Meghan
Speaking of uncovered shoulders… This fashion memo probably also passed her sister-in-law, Duchess Meghan. In 2018 she appeared at the Trooping the Color parade in honor of the Queen in an elegant, pale pink dress - the problem: it was strapless and therefore too nude for many!
In general, the former "Suits" actress was often criticized for wearing clothes that were too revealing, at least for a royal lady. But now that she has stepped down from her royal duties with her husband Prince Harry, she no longer has to worry about whether something is in line with royal etiquette – okay, admittedly, she was never that strict about the dress code…
Princess Diana
Princess Diana is one of the royals who try to go their own way despite the rules. Like her daughters-in-law, she was already wearing off-shoulder dresses in the 90s, which didn't even come close to reaching the knee.
Sweden royals sometimes attract negative fashion attention
Since there is a strict dress code for royals, especially in Great Britain, they quickly get it wrong. But that doesn't mean that members of other royal houses should sometimes think twice before taking something out of the closet. For example, Princess Madeleine of Sweden caused a genuine scandal. In 2017, she was seen in a real Persian fur jacket. This is usually made from the skin of young lambs. Of course, that immediately attracted animal rights activists and horrified fans.
Her sister-in-law Princess Sofia, who is otherwise always well dressed, also made headlines with her outfit in the same year. However, there was very little she could do about it. Because in broad daylight and in a thunderstorm of flashbulbs, it turned out that her top is a bit transparent and her light-colored bra shimmered through.
