On Saturday May 19, 2918, Meghan Markle officially became Duchess of Sussex. Fashion, beauty, career ... Here are 10 things that his new status forbids him from now on.
Since Saturday, Meghan Markle is officially part of the royal family of England! By marrying Prince Harry, the American actress became Duchess of Sussex, a title which necessarily imposes certain constraints on her. And whether she likes it or not, the young woman will have to comply with many requirements. Here are 7 things his new status prohibits him from.
1. She can no longer wear a dress or skirt without tights
Used to never wearing tights, Meghan Markle will now have to respect royal protocol which prohibits women of the British royal family from going out bare legs. Its first official appearance was also controversial because of this rule. "You will never see a member of the royal family without flesh-colored tights," royal expert Victoria Arbiter told Business Insider. Yesterday, for her first public appearance since her marriage, the American actress appeared with flesh tights. Unfortunately, the color was much too light for the young woman, which did not please Internet users.
2. Her dresses should fall above her knees
Like Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle will also have to say goodbye to her mini-skirts and mini-dresses! As required by the royal family, the clothing chosen by the Duchess of Sussex must necessarily stop above the knees. Yesterday, for the garden party organized in honor of Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace, Prince Harry's wife had already applied this rule! Meghan was for the occasion dressed in a nude dress whose length even exceeded her knees. A very wise look that many have found a bit "memorizing".
3. She can no longer wear dark varnish
You've probably noticed, since arriving in the royal family, Meghan Markle only wears light pink or beige varnish. Nude tones that are very popular with the Queen of England, Elizabeth II. At her wedding, the Duchess of Sussex wore for example a very natural color, a pale pink varnish signed Essie. Colored polish and false nails are prohibitive because they are considered vulgar and look bad for a member of royalty.
4. She can say goodbye to social media
When she started dating Prince Harry, Meghan Markle had to close her Instagram account as well as her personal blog, The Tig, to which she was nevertheless very attached. By becoming Duchess, the American actress renounces any presence on social networks. His news and official releases will only be relayed on the official accounts of Kensington Palace, which evoke the events of the entire royal family.
5. She can no longer take selfies or sign autographs
The members of the royal family are not the stars like the others! Indeed, they never stop to take selfies with the public because it is simply prohibited. "We do not have the right to do it," said Meghan Markle one day to a couple who asked her for a photo. This person will also not be able to sign autographs in order to avoid any risk of falsifying his signature and therefore any identity theft. We imagine that it is complicated for the Duchess since it was part of her habits when she was an actress.
6. She can't go to bed before the queen
At Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth II has the last word! Even though her days as Duchess of Sussex are likely to be very exhausting, Meghan Markle will not be able to go to bed before her step grandmother when they sleep under the same roof. "It's up to the queen to determine when the night is over," said British magazine The Sun. Prince Harry's wife will therefore have to stay strong so as not to fall into Morpheus' arms before the queen.
7. She can no longer go out alone
No more shopping sprees with girlfriends! In addition to being constantly chased by the paparazzi, Meghan Markle will also have to accept the fact that she will never be able to go out alone again. For security reasons, Prince Harry's wife must be accompanied by bodyguards at all times. Hard life of the Duchess!
