Fashion Rules of The Women of The British Royal Family
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đľđđžđđ˝đ đđđđđđ
We all love how beautiful & bright Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II looks! The Queenâs bright rainbow are actually for a safety reason. With being the Queen, she needs to be able to stand out in the crowd incase something bad does happen. Her bright colors also lightened up the mood/day with anyone she meets or for anyone who sees her.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŻđ˝đ đ˛đđśđđžđđ đđť đťđśđđ
đťđžđđđđđ
The wearing of hats is a royal etiquette rules, that dates all the way back to the 1950â˛s. Though during the 1950â˛s, women did begin to stop wearing hats when being out in the public area.Â
đđđđđđđ đ đđđ
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has kept the tradition of the Wearing of Hats alive. At Formal Engagements such as Weddings, Christenings, The Trooping of Color, & other engagements, women must wear a hat or a fascinator. Though when 6 P.M rolls around, all hats are traded in for Tiaras.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŻđ˝đ đ˛đđśđđžđđ đđťÂ đŻđžđśđđśđ
đťđžđđđđđ
To wear a Tiara for a Formal Night Event (or Wedding), a women (either marrying in or is getting married to an outside) must married. A women wearing a tiara, signifies their relationship status & letâs other men know they are married. A Tiara is a sign of love & the loss of innocence to marriage. A Family Tiara (Example: Dianaâs Loverâs Knot Tiara when by Kate) means that the women is now wearing the groomâs jewelry, as a married women is expected to do & means that she has left her family, & has joined a new one. Diana The Princess of Wales, was the last royal bridge to stick to wearing family jewelry, as she had worn her family tiara (The Spencer Tiara) for her wedding to His Royal Highness Prince Charles The Prince of Wales in 1981.Â
đđđđđđđ đ đđđ
A Tiara can now be worn before 6 P.M, because a tiara is considered formal attire. This rules has now been changed for the Royal Weddings, which a bride can wear a tiara during the day for her wedding. A tiara is worn at night for formal occasions like Black Tie Receptions, State Dinners, Holiday Dinners, etc. For example, when Megan the Duchess of Sussex attended a Black Tie Reception in Fiji, she could have worn a tiara but did not wear one for the formal event.
When placing a tiara on a womenâs head, follow these instructions:
â Place the Thumb on the Middle of the Chin & the Index Finger in the Gap between the Eyebrows
â Move the Fingers up until the Thumb ends up where the Index Finger was
â This is where the Tiara must sit on top of the Womenâs Head.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has to be protected at all times. The Wearing of Gloves, like her colorful wardrobe is another safety precaution. When the Queen attends engagements of her own, she has to shake hands with the people she meets. The Queen wears her gloves to prevent germs! The gloves are made by the royal glove maker, the color of the gloves are either black or white (depending on the outfit), & the gloves are either of cotton or nylon material.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đ đľđđśđ¸đ đŞđđđťđžđ
đťđžđđđđđ
When traveling, both royal men & women are required to carry a black outfit in case of an emergency. This is in the rare case that a family member has died, when they arrived back to England from wherever they have traveled, they are dressed in appropriate fashion. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II learned this lesson the hard way. In 1952, when Her Majestyâs father His Majesty George VI The King passed away. Her Majesty & His Royal Highness The Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, were in Kenya when the sad news was delivered to then young Princess Elizabeth. The Queen sadly did not have a black outfit with her, so she was forced to stay seated on the plane until an employee could deliver a black outfit for her to wear.
 đđđđđđđ đ đđđ
When traveling, both royal men & women are required to carry a black outfit in case of an emergency. It is rare to see women wear black, when she is traveling outside of the country. Black is mostly worn on Remembrance Day (A day of remembering those who died in battle). We have seen the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Beatrice of York, Mrs. Jack Brooksbank, &Â the Duchess of Sussex, have broken out & have worn black outfits to formal & non-formal engagements.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŻđ˝đ đ˛đđśđđžđđ đđť đđđśđđ
The British Royal Family is always about the women staying in a modest fashion. When a women wears a coat, it must stay on. A lady taking off a coat in a public view, is an unladylike action that she must not break. For Example, if Kate is wearing a coat in the picture below, she must keep it on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đđśđđžđ¸đđđ
Her Majesty Queen Elizabethâs favorite nail polish cost only $9?! Yes, the Queenâs favorite nail polish is called Ballet Slippers by Essie & is of a nude color. Royal Women must only wear either a pale pink polish or a clear polish, to keep her nails looking beautiful. The Duchess of Cambridge has broken this rule before but used her toes! The Duchess was seen with a red polish on her toes!Â

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đđđđđ¸đ˝đđ & đťđśđđšđˇđśđđ
A girl always has a good clutch, handbag, or purse on her to keep her necessities like keys, glasses, & makeup in right? Not for the women (especially The Queen) of The British Royal Family.
đđđđđđđ đ đđđ
Women of the Royal Family, will carry a handbag with her when she does not want to shake hands with whoever she is meeting. The public is not allowed to touch any member of the Royal Family, unless that member makes a move to show they want to hug or shake hands. The handbag is a signal that the women is too occupied to shake hands or hug. Handbags are traditionally carried in the left hand.
đŽđžđđđśđđ
The Queen will carry a handbag with her wherever she goes but this is for a reason. She uses to quietly send signals to the staff around her. When The Queen wants to leave dinner, she sets her bag on top of the table, letting not only staff but other eaters know that dinner will be over in 5 minutes. When The Queen is in the middle of a boring conversation, she will place her bag on the floor, letting her lady-in-waiting know that she would like to move on.
đ°đ˝-đŞđ˝!
When Diana was a member of the royal family, she used her clutch as a slip-up bag. This means, that whenever she would step-up out of cars, that the clutch would be used to shield any view the public could get of her cleavage.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŻđ˝đ đŽđ˝đđ đľđśđ
As you see in most every picture, of the shoes the women of the British Royal Family, most shoes are heels! The one heel that is not necessarily banned, but one the Queen herself is not a fan of is Wedged Heels. We have seen The Duchess of Cambridge, where them just a few times with some of her more casual attire.
đŻđ˝đ đ đđđ đťđđ đťđđđđ
If a women wears heels to an engagement or official event, there are rules when it comes to picking the right pair of shoes to wear. The Rule for Heels is that the heels must be six inches or under, so that the women is not wobbling around when walking & that the women must not appear too tall for people to notice.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŽđ˝đđ đ đżđžđđđđ đżđđ
When wearing a dress, itâs common for a womenâs legs to be showing. For the British Royal Women, showing leg is okay but it needs to be in a modest fashion. When showing legs in a dress or skirt, women are expected to wear pantyhose or tights for all public outings.Â
This rule has only been broken twice by the Duchess of Sussex, when she did not wear pantyhose during her November Engagement photos & when she attended Hamilton in London with her husband. She quickly has switched her style to wearing from skipping the tights to making sure she wears them.

đđ đđ¸đ¸đžđšđđđđśđ đđśđđžđđđ đđđđđđ
Everyone remembers the famous Marilyn Monroe picture with the white dress floating up around her. Well that is why this specific rule is enforced for all dresses of the women of the British Royal Family.Â
đđđđđ đťđśđ¸đ
For the dresses of the the women of the Royal Family, dresses have been hacked! With each dress, little weights are sewn into the hemlines of the dress. This helps prevents skirts from flying up when a really heavy breeze decides to blow around.
đđđđđ & đŽđđžđđ đ đđđđ
Besides having the weights sewn into the hemlines of dresses & skirts, the length of a dress or skirt should always be appropriate. The length of a dress or a skirt, should always be around knee length, which is always 3 or 4 inches above the knee. Besides the length, dresses must not be sleeveless.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đđđšđđđ đšđśđđ˝đžđđ
As tradition, we all see the women of the Royal Family wearing dresses for every engagement & event they attend. Some of the women though, have begun to not only wear dresses & skirts, but have begun to incorporate Jeans, Business Pants, & for some engagements Sports Pants. Queen Elizabeth doesnât prefer pants so she sticks with dresses & skirts. Jeans are only allowed at the most casual events though like if the women will be outside all day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŻđ˝đ đšđśđđ˝đžđđ đđť đ đđđśđ đŻđđđđ
đ đđđśđ đŻđđđ đšđśđđ˝đžđđ
The British Royal Family & other royal families around the world are known for their state tours to other countries. When traveling to other countries, women will show respect to that country but not only doing engagements, but by wearing fashion created by designers from that country. Whether itâs a brooch, a full outfit, just accessories, colors, for following the fashion rules of that country (Recent Example: head scarf wore in Pakistan), itâs a respectful gesture.
đ¸đđśđđ đđđ
đ 2016: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a Maple Leaf Brooch & Hat for her tour of Canada
â All the women of the British Royal Family, have worn headscarves in respectful countries like Camilla in Egypt, Catherine in Malaysia, & Megan in South Africa
đ§ĽÂ Meghan Markle wore MÄori Feather Cloak called a Korowai, which was made for her by MÄori Elders.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đđđđžđ đ˛đđśđ
For engagements & events, Women of the Royal Family typically have the same fashion: blazers, cardigans, trousers, & dresses/skirts. Denim is typically not seen in Royal Fashion (Mentioned Above in Modernized Fashion) of the women. Denim is typically worn only for private life like being at home or being out in public without the press knowing. Again, The Duchess of Sussex has broken out of the fashion protocol but not only wearing jeans like other royal women, but including denim tops with her jeans in a double denim fashion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŚđđđ đźđ đŠđđśđ
đđđđđ˝đžđđ
The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether itâs a wedding, a christening, an engagement, or an official event, so their fashion style will be talked about. The women will always want to look put together with whatever they wear, so fabrics of outfits must be chosen carefully. When styling an outfit, women will typically wear a fabric that does wrinkle & crease easily like Linen & Silk. Heavier fabrics like tweed & wool are typically chosen to wear because they are more durable.Â
đťđśđžđ đŽđđđđ & đđśđđđđ
The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether itâs a wedding, a christening, an engagement, or an official event, so their hygiene & appearance will be talked about. The hair & makeup of the British Royal women, should always look effortless, natural, & near. Royals will never have loud hair colors or shocking updos. In The Duchess of Cambridge, we are always see a change in hairstyle but itâs always looking neat, whether itâs a Parted Blow Out,  Big Curls, An Updo like a Ponytail or Bun, Half Up Half Down, or Bangs.
The Rule of Makeup should always be neat & natural. The example of neat makeup is the Duchess of Cambridge. With the Duchess always has a darker eye but the rest of the face is kept nude & natural.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŽđśđđ đđ˝đ đđđžđđśđđ
Fur has always been a huge controversy in fashion whether the women was a famous actress, a common every day girl out in public, or a duchess in the royal family. During the 14th century, King Edward III of England declared that no one could wear fur. The Royal Family today, has not worn a ton of fur following that law. It has though soon up on the occasional coat or hat on a few of the women of the British Royal Family.

Thank you sweet one! Life is going great & hopefully will continue to go great!
Hey Yâall! I know itâs been a while but life went from slow with nothing happening to absolutely crazy! So hereâs an update on life & posting!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yâall big things are coming for my family & I!Â
1. I got a job! My mom got a phone call the other day from a friend of hers who works at the middle school I attended when I was a teenager. The women runs the schoolâs after school program & asked for me to come help her, as they are looking for more teens to help with the program. I put in my job application on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019 & I find out Wednesday, October 30th, 2019 when my phone interview & my in person interview is! It pays $9 an hour & I would be working Monday through Friday with weekends & holidays off.
2. I created my resume with the help of a magazine that I help with! As yâall know, I am a content & public relations team member for an online magazine called Her Campus. Well, we had a meeting on Tuesday, October 29th, 2019, where us girls could create resumes & cover letters that we would eventually need in the future. It was such a great opportunity to learn how to be an adult & prepare for my future.
3. My brother got into his dream college on Tuesday! My family & I are so excited for his future, as my brother is one of the intelligent, talented, athletic, dedicated, & hard working student I know. My brother is not staying in a dorm though (I donât either right now for my college) so we will both be living at home, as our 2 colleges are a few minutes from our house. He got in on full scholarship & heâs so incredibly happy!
4. I will be going on a trip to my hometown in November! IÂ havenât been back since my huge fight with my dadâs family (we no longer speak to his family), so we will be staying in a hotel but we are there just to do things around my hometown but Iâm so excited! I missed home a lot & it will be good to go back before I go back to school in January.
5. I go back to college in January! From June until December, I took a gap semester off college after 3 grueling & intense semesters back to back. My first semester of college Fall 2018 I took 4 classes (Failed 1), my second semester in Spring 2019 I took 4 classes (Failed 2), & my third semester during Summer 2019 I took a retake class of the math class I failed in the Fall of 2018 & passed it in the summer. This semester which is Spring 2020, I will be retaking my Spring 2019 retake classes which will be English 2 & Introduction to Humanities (Also called Art History). This semester registration doesnât start until November, classes donât start until January 13th, & the semester ends in May. I will be doing Her Campus, Working at my Middle School, & doing school all in one semester. I will be so dead tired, I probably wonât be doing social media a ton.
6. My cousin is having a baby! She announced in a few months ago but the baby is due in January! Her baby shower is next weekend with all of our family so Iâm very excited! I canât wait for this little baby boy to come & our family to grow one person bigger! Also sadly two of cousins, who are both married, their wives had miscarriages this month. We are incredibly heart broken because along with my cousinâs baby, the family was going to grow by 3 little angels. But sadly God had other plans for our family & took 2 of our little angels to heaven before we could meet them. Itâs been a hard month for our family but hopefully with the little boy coming soon, we should have some light shine on us.Â
7. Sickness! Yâall itâs going around. I have been sick, my dad has been sick, my mom has been sick, & some of my friends have been sick. Ugh itâs called cold & flu season for a reason. Also why IÂ havenât been on Tumblr is due to being sick. Sickness kicked my butt & I ended up sleeping a lot! Iâm feeling 100% again so Iâm back to freaking feeling normal again & itâs such a good feeling. My dad is still a little bit sick, so healing is taking awhile!Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay yâall! I will be catching up on posting in the next few days or so! I will be working on catch up posts from today (Wednesday) to however long it takes me to catch up! So be on the look out for new post! Life has just gotten so crazy for me that posting needed to stop for a while for me to enjoy all the positivity the world is giving me before I got back on social media!
Also new posts are up on my Instagram & my Disney Food Tumblr Blog! Go check those out & the links are right here!

The Modern Sapphire Tiara/George VI Sapphire Tiara/The Belgian Sapphire Tiara
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
đŞđđđđđ/đ˛đđśđđđđ:
â 1858 - 1924:Â Princess Louise of Belgium: It is unknown how the Princess acquired the necklace.Â
â 1947 to Present: Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II: Queen Elizabeth added the tiara separate from the rest of the George VI Sapphire Jewelry she owns. She used the George VI Sapphire jewels (which she received in 1947 as a wedding gift from her father) to create the tiara in 1963.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is unknown about the date the original necklace was created, but the tiara was made in 1963 by Queen Elizabeth II.Â
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the tiara was created into a tiara, the jewels were used as a necklace or as a dress ornament for Princess Louise of Belgium. When looking at the design of the tiara, you can see the point of the tiara which is the sign of a converted necklace. The jewels stand upright on the tiara, which would have been seen as drops on a necklace.
