Whether you love them or hate them, there’s no denying the fact that the Royal Family knows how to put together an outfit. Duchess Kate and Meghan Markle are constantly celebrated for their fashion choices and their prim and proper outfits, and they always look perfectly put together. But it’s impossible to be perfect all the time, and it seems as though the Royal Family aren’t immune to the odd fashion faux-pas either. Check out these fashion fails the royals don’t want you to see below!
When Kate’s Heel Got Caught
If we’re being totally honest, the royals deserve a huge amount of credit for wearing heels all the time. You’ll never see them in flats, and they never seem to complain about the pain that comes with wearing high heels. But while they’re very used to wearing these heels, they’re not immune to a fashion faux pas every now and then. And in 2013, Duchess Kate got her heel stuck in a grate.
While attending a St. Patrick’s Day event, the then-pregnant Kate almost fell over as her heel got stuck to the floor. Thankfully, Prince William was by her side to lend a hand.
When Eugenie and Beatrice Wore These Hats
Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice may not be as famous as the likes of Duchess Kate and Meghan Markle, but there’s no denying the fact that they’re still very popular. And while some people love their style, they caused a media storm in 2011 when they attended Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding. As per royal custom, the royal sisters wore hats to the event – and they were certainly very unique.
Although they stood out from the crowd, most critics agreed that their hats stood out for all of the wrong reasons. In fact, they were ruthlessly trolled online and instantly made into memes for their fashion faux pas.
When Camilla Wore the Same Color as the Queen
Although Camilla Parker-Bowles is now queen herself, there was once a time when she looked up to the late Queen Elizabeth II as the most senior member of the Royal Family. But Camilla made one of the biggest fashion faux pases in 2019 when she turned up at the same event wearing the exact same color as the Queen. Of course, both women looked absolutely stunning in their rich purple outfits and hats – but it didn’t go down well with the Queen.
It didn’t take long for the British press to tear Camilla down, dubbing the awkward moment as ‘Purplegate.’ As you can probably imagine, Camilla didn’t ever wear the same color as the queen ever again.Â
