No Bare Legs Allowed
Reason: Bare legs are very informal
Exception: Non-official, non-Royal occasions
Another key component of the Royal dress code was a ban on women wearing bare legs. You may have observed that royal women virtually always wear pantyhose, which can be seen in press images, regardless of how sheer they are. This restriction only applies to formal, official Royal occasions, as enforcing it for any event would be excessive. Bare legs simply aren’t formal enough for the image that the Royal family wishes to project, so pantyhose are essential.

Keep Your Chin Parallel To The Ground When Posing
Reason: It’s more formal and allows for the best photo possible
Exception: When not officially posing for photos
This is a personal guideline for Kate Middleton and, reportedly, Meghan Markle, rather than something formalized in the Royal Handbook. According to a “royal expert,” Middleton constantly keeps her chin parallel to the ground while posing. When wandering around, she may droop her chin up or down, but in an official stance, the Princess always maintains a ramrod-straight posture. This enables you both a formal-looking position and the greatest photo possible (no chance of an accidental double chin!).
