Fashion Rules of The Women of The British Royal Family

We all love how beautiful & bright Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II looks! The Queenโs 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.ย

The wearing of hats is a royal etiquette rules, that dates all the way back to the 1950โฒs. Though during the 1950โฒs, women did begin to stop wearing hats when being out in the public area.ย
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
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.ย

๐ป๐พ๐๐๐๐๐
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 & letโs other men know they are married. A Tiara is a sign of love & the loss of innocence to marriage. A Family Tiara (Example: Dianaโs Loverโs Knot Tiara when by Kate) means that the women is now wearing the groomโs jewelry, as a married women is expected to do & means that she has left her family, & has joined a new one.ย 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 toย His Royal Highness Prince Charles Theย Prince of Wales in 1981.ย
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
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 womenโs head, follow these instructions:
โ Place the Thumb on the Middle of the Chin & the Index Finger in the Gap between the Eyebrows
โ Move the Fingers up until the Thumb ends up where the Index Finger was
โ This is where the Tiara must sit on top of the Womenโs 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.

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 Herย Majestyโsย fatherย His Majesty George VI The King passed away. Her Majesty &ย His Royal Highness The Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh, were in Kenya when the sad news was delivered to then youngย 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.
ย ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
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, &ย the Duchess of Sussex, have broken out & have worn black outfits to formal & non-formal engagements.ย

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.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabethโs favorite nail polish cost only $9?! Yes, the Queenโs 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!ย

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.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐
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.
๐ฎ๐พ๐๐๐ถ๐๐
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.

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.ย

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.
๐ฏ๐ฝ๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐
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.ย

๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฟ๐พ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฟ๐๐
When wearing a dress, itโs common for a womenโs 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.ย
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.

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.ย
๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐ถ๐ธ๐
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.
๐๐๐๐๐ & ๐ฎ๐๐พ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐
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.ย
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
๐๐๐น๐๐๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฝ๐พ๐๐
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 doesnโt 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.

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 itโs a brooch, a full outfit, just accessories, colors, for following the fashion rules of that country (Recent Example: head scarf wore in Pakistan), itโs a respectful gesture.

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.

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether itโs 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.ย

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether itโs 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 itโs always looking neat, whether itโs a Parted Blow Out,ย ย Big Curls, An Updo like aย Ponytail or Bun,ย 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.ย

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, Kingย 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.
The Most Noble Order of the Garter

The Most Senior Order of Knighthood in the British Honors System. This honor outranks The Victoria Cross & The George Cross,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
King Edward III of England in 1348

๐ฏ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐พ๐๐
The Order of the Garter was created on April 23rd, 1344 & was created to help King Edwardโs claim to the French throne. The Orderย is dedicated to Saint George because he is the Patron Saint of England. The Most Noble Order of the Garter was inspired by the Spanish Order of the Band, which was created in 1330.ย

(Joanot Martorell)
(John of Gaunt Duke of Aquitaine)
(Countess Isabella of Bedford)
The earliest mention of The Most Noble Order of the Garter was mentioned in Tirant to Blanch by Joanot Martorell, a chivalric romance piece of literature (A literary genre of high culture), which was written in Catalan (Now called Valencian Language) in 1490. King Edward IIIโs wardrobe shows that Garter habits first issued in 1348.ย The Middle English poemย โSir Gawain & the Green Knight,โ which was written in the late 14th century, mentions The Most Noble Order of the Garter. In the poem, a girdle is very similar to a garter (in an erotic way). The poem also mentions a different version of the Orderโs motto which is writtenย โCorsed worth cowarddyse and couetyse bope,โ which translates toย โCursed be both cowardice and coveting.โ The author of the poem is argued by scholars but there is a connection between two candidates:ย John of Gaunt Duke of Aquitaine &ย Enguerrand VII de Coucy.ย Enguerrand was married to King Edward IIIโs daughterย Countess Isabella of Bedford & was received the Order of the Garter on their wedding day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(King Richard 1 of England)
Various stories & legends surround the origin ofย The Most Noble Order of the Garter.ย
The most popular story involvesย Catherine (Grandison)ย Montagu Theย Countess of Salisbury. It is said, that the countessโs garter slipped off from her leg, while she was dancing at a court ball that took place inย Calais, France. When the garter slipped from the countessโs leg, courtiers laughed & just watched the scene happen. The King saw what had happen & returned the garter to the Countess exclaimingย โHoni soit qui mal y pense!" Which translates in English toย โShame on him who thinks ill of it!โ This is saying that is written on theย The Most Noble Order of the Garter.ย
The earliest written story dates back to the 1460โฒs. A garter in the mid-14th century, was seen mostly as a item of male attire. Looking back on the story, the garter (that was seen as item of female underclothing), actually has the garter stated as a symbol of a band of knights.
A 2nd story is connected to King Richard I of England. In the 12th century, King Richard was inspired by St. George the Matyr, while he was fighting in the Crusades (A series of religious wars in Western Asia & Europe between the 11th & 17th century). The king tied garters around the legs of his knights, who won the battle. King Edward, recalled the story of King Richard during the 14th century when founding theย The Most Noble Order of the Garter. This story is actually recounted in a letter to the Annual Register (Aย long-established reference work, written and published each year, which records and analyses the year's major events, developments and trends throughout the world) that was written in 1774.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The emblem for The Most Noble Order of the Garter is a garter with a written Middle French Moto that says "Honi soit qui mal y penseโ which means โShame on him who thinks evil of itโ & the motto is written in gold lettering. The motto refers to King Edwardโs claim to the French throne. The use of the garter with the emblem, derived from straps that are used to fasten armor & was chosen because of the tight-knitย โband/bondโ of Edwardโs knightly cause supporters.

Each member would nominate 9 candidates who have the rank of either Earl or higher (3 members), have the rank of Baron or higher (3 members), & have the rank of Knight or higher (3 members). The Sovereign then personally chooses as many nominees that as necessary to fill any vacant spots in the current Order of the Garter. But with the nominees comes a decision. The Sovereign (He or She), are not obliged to choose the nominees who received the most nomination counts. This practice ended in 1860. Today, before receiving the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, an appointment is made with the Sovereign (A.K.A: The Queen) at sole discretion.

During the 18th century, the Sovereign would choose those to serve on The Most Noble Order of the Garter, by the advice of the current Government. In 1946, membership of the United Kingdomโs highest ranking orders of Chivalry (The Most Illustrious Order of Saint Patrick,ย The Most Noble Order of the Garter, &ย Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle) became a personal choice of the Sovereign once again, with the joint agreement of Prime Minister The Right Honorable Clement Attlee 1st Earl of Attlee & Theย Leader of the Opposition The Right Honorableย Sir Winston Churchill.
The person being appointed to the Order is announced on April 23rd which is known as St. Georgeโs Day. When created, it was said that the original status required that each member of the Order already be a knight (now referred to as a Knight Bachelor). The initial members were knighted the year, the order was created.

Along with the Founder, Ladies Companion of the Garter, & The Original Members of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter, there is another group of members who receive this honor. These members are called Supernumerary Members & they are the members who do not count towards the limit of the 24 Living Family Members/Companions but are in association of the Order. These members can also be referred to Royal Knights & Ladies of the Garter.
(His Majesty King George I of Great Britain)
(His Majesty King George II of Great Britain)
(His Majesty King George III of The United Kingdom)
(His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I of Russia)
These titles were created by His Majesty King George III of The United Kingdom in 1786 but didnโt create the statute of Supernumerary Members until 1805. He created the title of Supernumerary Members, so that his sons didnโt count toward the 24 companion limit. King George created the statute of members, so that any descendant of His Majesty King George II of Great Britain, could not be installed in The Most Noble Order of the Garter as such a member. 8 years later in 1813, during the reign of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Alexander I of Russia, a membership of being a supernumerary member was extended to foreign monarchs. These members were known as Stranger Knights & Ladies of the Garter. The Statute of Supernumerary Members was put back into play in 1831 & extended to all descendants of His Majesty King George I of Great Britain. In 1954, each installation into The Most Noble Order of the Garter, required an enactment of the statute. The statute authorizes the regular admission of Stranger Knights & Ladies of the Garter without further special enactments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Fact: The Most Noble Order of the Garter is only allowed to The Sovereign/Monarch, The Heir to the Throne, 24 Living Family Members/Companions, & Various Supernumerary (not belonging to a regular staff but engaged for work) Members. The Monarch alone can also grant membership.*

During the 15th century, The Degradation of a Member of the The Most Noble Order of the Garter was a formal ceremony. The Garter King of Arms is accompanied by the rest of the members at St. Georgeโs Chapel. The Garter of Arms reads aloud the reason for degradation as a member climbs up a ladder to remove the former knights banner, crest, helm, & sword into the choir. The other members then lead the degraded knight down the length of the chapel, out the doors, & into the castle ditch.ย

Savannah Anne Kathleen Phillips
Wednesday,ย December 29th, 2010 atย Gloucestershire Royal Hospital
Father: Peter Mark Andrew Phillips

Sister: Isla Elizabeth Phillips (Located in the middle of the Picture)
Savannah is 19th in line for the Throne.
She is the Queen's oldest great-grandchild and Princess Anne's oldest grandchild.
Savannah does not have a royal title becauseย children of the daughter of a monarch are not "entitled to the rank" of his or her royal highness (her father does not have a title either).
She is an animal loverย
Savannahโs name was not announced right away like most royal children, but the public found out through a church service when the reverend announced her name during prayer.
She made her first balcony/public appearance in 2017 at the Trooping of the Color alongside her parents & her younger sister Isla.
Savannah was a bridesmaid in Princess Eugenie'sย marriage to Jack Brooksbank in 2018 alongside her sister Isla & cousins Mia Tindall, Princess Charlotte, & Maud Windsor. She was in charge of holding Eugenie's bouquet at the alter.ย ย
She & her sister Isla are 1 year & 3 months apart in age.
