On Wednesday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry stepped out on a duke and duchess date night to watch a special performance of Hamilton.
All eyes were on the Duchess of Sussex who wore her riskiest royal look to date: a stunning black suit mini dress by Canadian brand, Judith and Charles.
Meghan accessorised the look with black pumps, a gold clutch, and her hair pulled back into her signature bun.
But it was the 37-year-old’s legs that caught everyone’s attention, which were totally bare, no nude pantyhose in sight.
Per royal protocol, women are always supposed to wear pantyhose for public appearances. Meghan has been adhering to the rule since officially marrying into the royal family on May 19th and her sister-in-law Kate Middleton is never photographed without nude stockings on.
“You never see a royal without their nude stockings. I would say that’s really the only hard, steadfast rule in terms of what the Queen requires,” royal expert Victoria Arbiter told Insider last year.
However, others are saying that while the Queen and Duchess of Cambridge do opt to wear nude stockings on most occasions, it’s not an official rule put in place by Her Royal Highness.
“There are no rules for royal women regarding pantyhose. While most women (royal or commoner) wear pantyhouse with suits or gowns for a good slim line, it is not required by any decree from the Queen,” royal expert Marlene Koenig told BAZAAR.com.
Pantyhose or not, we think Meghan’s first post-royal LBD is perfection.
