𝒞𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇:

♕ Original: The Tiara first made an appearance in 1818, by Her Royal Highness Augusta The Dowager Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The Tiara was given to her as a wedding gift from her family.  

♕ The New Tiara: Designed in 1913 by Her Majesty Queen Mary but was created by The House of Garrard. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓈𝒾𝑔𝓃:

The Tiara features a Diamond and Pearl tiara with Lover's Knot Motifs. The lover’s knot motif was very popular in the nineteenth century; the knots are the pretzel-like elements at the top of the tiara - the part from which the pendant pearls are suspended. Originally Mary’s Tiara was topped with a row of upright pearls, which made the tiara taller & grander than the version we currently see on the current Duchess of Cambridge. The pearls are the same pearls that once sat on The Girls Of Great Britain And Ireland Tiara, but they could removed off the Lover’s Knot. When Queen Mary died, the upright pearls were removed off the tiara. Lovers Knot bows were part of the design of the tiara, which was repeated along the entire length of the tiara, and from which originated two drop-shaped pearls, one hanging down and the other rising up like a spike.

Hello fellow Royal Lovers! I am back after a month long break from social media. I have been through so much in one month & 2020 is definitely been a whirlwind crazy year already! I have missed this account so much and I can’t wait to get back into things around here! Here’s a quick recap of what happened in the past month!

𝑅𝑒𝓁𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒽𝒾𝓅 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓉𝓊𝓈

I have been single for most of my life (I’ve only had two boyfriends before my new boyfriend & they both broke my heart). I had met a new man a few weeks & we seemed to really get along. We both wanted to make things serious & we hung out a few times, but... things happen. We both have had horrible luck with relationships or set ups by friends in the past. We both believe that right now is just not the time to be with each other (as we both need to work on things on ourselves & in our lives) but we both agreed to be friends and still be in each other’s lives. We do both hope to get back together in the future & we still care deeply about each other. I’m not moving on any time soon to take time to focus on myself to make myself better and just prepare for my future. I had so much fun & learned so much in these few weeks with him, so my advice... Take those chances & take those risks. Life is too short. ♥️

𝐹𝒶𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓎

I have been so in love lately being around my family as much as I have. I have been spending every Sunday at my mom’s house having dinner with all of my family, going to birthday parties for my all my cousins (I have 2 different cousins who have kids) & their children (my cousin’s son turned 1 & my cousin’s daughter is about to turn two!), & I’ve been spending a lot of my time either with my cousin or my nephew. Also my brother is also going through a break up so I’ve been spending time with him too by giving him advice from my past. My grandmother had knee surgery in the first week of March 

𝐸𝒹𝓊𝒸𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 & 𝒞𝒶𝓇𝑒𝑒𝓇

Starting in January of 2020, I officially went back to college (well taking my classes online) after taking a semester off from school & I started my first ever job in November of 2020. I have been loving both ever since! I am currently taking 2 courses: General Psychology & English Composition 2 & they are going fantastic! I have been working at a School I attended when I was a child (the school is Pre-K through 8th grade & I attended 5th through 8th grade!) & I love the children I work with dearly. Now due to coronavirus, I sadly do not get to see the kids I work with for a whole month now. I’m fortunate that coronavirus is not affecting my education though as my classes are already online. It did move around due dates though. I just hope everything gets cleared up soon and everyone can go back to normal life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well that’s about all y’all! I’m so excited to finally be back & just be on the look out for new posts or updates! I love you all so much!

An Account Announcement

Hey y’all. I know I have been completely silent on this account. I have been slowly updating biographies of the family, retagging posts, & trying to organize my account. Also my personal life outside of social media, has been an up & down rollercoaster of emotions these past few months. With being back at my job, currently in the final few weeks of my 2nd summer college semester (I did a summer semester in 2019), slowly rebuilding bridges in relationships with friends & family, & just dealing with my mental health, I have been so freaking exhausted. I have been trying to catch up on my social media but there are times I need to pull away. I will keep working on this account to re-do it, organize it, & have it to where my account makes me super happy. It will be slow steps coming back so if you start noticing small changes, I’m here. Also I know there is a ton going on in the world & if ANYONE needs me, please know my message & question boxes are always open for support! I love y’all so freaking much! ~ Kendall

Fashion Rules of The Women of The British Royal Family

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝐵𝓇𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 𝒞𝑜𝓁𝑜𝓇𝓈

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

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝐻𝒶𝓉𝓈

𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

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

𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

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. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒯𝒾𝒶𝓇𝒶𝓈

𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

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 & let’s other men know they are married. A Tiara is a sign of love & the loss of innocence to marriage. A Family Tiara (Example: Diana’s Lover’s Knot Tiara when by Kate) means that the women is now wearing the groom’s 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. 

𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

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 women’s head, follow these instructions:

♕ Place the Thumb on the Middle of the Chin & the Index Finger in the Gap between the Eyebrows

♕ Move the Fingers up until the Thumb ends up where the Index Finger was

♕ This is where the Tiara must sit on top of the Women’s Head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒢𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓈

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒜 𝐵𝓁𝒶𝒸𝓀 𝒪𝓊𝓉𝒻𝒾𝓉

𝐻𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓎

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 Majesty’s 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.

 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

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, & the Duchess of Sussex, have broken out & have worn black outfits to formal & non-formal engagements. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝒞𝑜𝒶𝓉𝓈

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝑀𝒶𝓃𝒾𝒸𝓊𝓇𝑒

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s favorite nail polish cost only $9?! Yes, the Queen’s 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! 

💅🏻 Link for Essie Nail Polish Here: https://www.essie.com/nail-polish/enamel/sheers/ballet-slippers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒞𝓁𝓊𝓉𝒸𝒽𝑒𝓈 & 𝐻𝒶𝓃𝒹𝒷𝒶𝑔𝓈

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.

𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒

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.

𝒮𝒾𝑔𝓃𝒶𝓁𝓈

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.

𝒰𝒽-𝒪𝒽!

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. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝒽𝑜𝑒 𝐵𝒶𝓃

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.

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝐻𝑒𝑒𝓁𝓈

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. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒜 𝐿𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝐿𝑒𝑔

When wearing a dress, it’s common for a women’s 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. 

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.

(Top Photo: No Tights & Bottom Photo: Tights)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒜𝓃 𝒜𝒸𝒸𝒾𝒹𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒶𝓁 𝑀𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓁𝓎𝓃 𝑀𝑜𝓃𝓇𝑜𝑒

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. 

𝒟𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝐻𝒶𝒸𝓀

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.

𝒟𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓈 & 𝒮𝓀𝒾𝓇𝓉 𝑅𝓊𝓁𝑒𝓈

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. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝑀𝑜𝒹𝑒𝓇𝓃 𝐹𝒶𝓈𝒽𝒾𝑜𝓃

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 doesn’t 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 𝐹𝒶𝓈𝒽𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝑜𝒻 𝑅𝑜𝓎𝒶𝓁 𝒯𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈

𝑅𝑜𝓎𝒶𝓁 𝒯𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝐹𝒶𝓈𝒽𝒾𝑜𝓃

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

𝐸𝓍𝒶𝓂𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓈

🍁 2016: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a Maple Leaf Brooch & Hat for her tour of Canada

♕ 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

🧥 Meghan Markle wore Māori Feather Cloak called a Korowai, which was made for her by Māori Elders.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒟𝑒𝓃𝒾𝓂 𝒲𝑒𝒶𝓇

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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒦𝑒𝑒𝓅 𝐼𝓉 𝒩𝑒𝒶𝓉

𝒞𝓁𝑜𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether it’s 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. 

𝐻𝒶𝒾𝓇 𝒮𝓉𝓎𝓁𝑒 & 𝑀𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓊𝓅

The British Royal Family is photographed every time they go out in public, whether it’s 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 it’s always looking neat, whether it’s 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. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

𝒮𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒜𝓃𝒾𝓂𝒶𝓁𝓈

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.
