Princess Kate’s special outfit trick that could teach Meghan Markle a thing or two

The Princess of Wales reportedly makes alterations to original designs so that they comply with royal protocol, it has been revealed.

Women within the Royal Family – much like Princess Kate – are known for having access to a plethora of designers, whom are all eager for said royal to showcase their design on a global scale.

These designs do, however, not always fit royal protocol and instead of rejecting the look, many chose to alter them to fit until they are deemed acceptable.

Rather than search for a new look, Princess Kate has previously chosen to refashion existing looks to suit – something that Meghan Markle could also apply to her looks.

Meghan, 43, recently stepped out in a red Carolina Herrera dress to an event in Los Angeles. She had made alterations – such as removing the detachable overskirt – but some still deemed the look as “revealing”.

In 2019, Kate wore a stunning Alexander McQueen gown to a star-studded event at the National Portrait Gallery.

The floor-length creation, which featured the same delicate floral pattern and distinctive satin bands, was previously worn by Kate to the BAFTAs in 2017.

While the original look boasted a Bardot neckline, the frock Kate wore in 2019 showed off capped sleeves.

As well as noticing the neckline, eagle-eyed fans also noted the flowers on the bodice lined up differently on the dress than they had previously.

Meghan Markle has sparked comments on a dress she wore to a gala in LA last week

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, at the time, user biblio discussed how this could have been achieved.

They wrote: “It’s deconstructed then they make a new bodice either out of spare or original material and attach to the original skirt.

“Very clever work from her seamstress and great way to save money and get more wear out of the dress.”
