Did you know that the British Royal Family follows a specific dress
code? Inspired by BestLife's list, here are some rules they are
required to follow. These guidelines help you maintain a spotless
image that is appropriate to their official duties.
For example, royals should always wear stockings, and wearing
vibrantly colored clothing and bold patterns is encouraged to ensure
they stand out at public events.
The coats are usually of strong colors.
Royal women are not allowed to take off their coats in public, as this
is seen as a lack of elegance.
In addition, hats are an
essential item for women
during ceremonial events. But
only until 6 pm. After 6 pm, no
hats indoors. It's tiara time!
For official tours, women usually opt for dresses and men for
suits.
Even on informal
outings, royals should
be neatly groomed in
collared shirts, even if
they're in a relaxed
look.
All royals pack an all-
black outfit when they
travel. This is in case of an unexpected funeral.
Royal men wear their military uniform when saluting British troops.
It is also common for royals serving in the military to wear their
uniforms to the wedding ceremony.

Whatever the hairstyle, women's hair should always be well groomed.
The nails are cut short and natural or painted in a neutral tone.
The Princess of Wales always carries a handbag. This is said to occupy
her hands and prevent unwanted handshakes. Royals are always the
first to initiate a handshake.
The Princess of Wales wears classic
high-heeled or short-heeled stiletto
heels.
Boys are dressed in
shorts and collared
shirts. The girls wear
traditional dresses.
