Prince Harry’s ‘unprincely’ rule he abandoned after Meghan Markle marriage

Almost eight years on from their royal wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have cemented their place as one of the most stylish members of the royal family, revered worldwide for their fashion influence. Casting our eye back to 2015, one year before they secretly met in London, the Duke of Sussex had a very different approach to fashion. He even went so far as to describe himself as “unprincely”, filling his wardrobe with a combination of comfortable styles from a high street “discount store” and hand-me-downs from King Charles. “As a rule I didn’t think about clothing. I didn’t fundamentally believe in fashion, and I couldn’t understand why anybody would. I often got mocked on social media for my mismatched outfits, my ratty shoes.  “Writers would flag a photo of me and wonder why my trousers were so long, my shirts so crumpled. (They didn’t dream that I’d dried them on the radiator.) Not very princely, they’d say,” he penned in his 2022 autobiography, Spare. Recognising that his family were more concerned with their …

Princess Caroline of Monaco’s daughter Charlotte Casiraghi was respectful in an all-black ensemble, featuring a dramatic lace veil, as she attended the welcome ceremony for Pope Leo XIV’s visit to the principality.  The 39-year-old model and socialite wowed in a two-piece skirt suit that had intricate floral detailing running along the jacket’s bodice and chunky rope cording along its lapels.  Large silver buttons were done up to the jacket’s round neckline, and matching buttons lined the lower half of the model’s sleeves. She added a pair of dark black tights that poked out from beneath her pencil skirt.  She walked around in a pair of modest black sling-back kitten heels and carried her belongings in a padded Chanel purse with a long black strap that she clutched by her side.  Powerboat racer and Italian businessman Stefano Casiraghi’s daughter joined other members of the monarchy and donned a showstopping black lace veil for the monumental engagement.  The veil was loosely placed on top of her chestnut brown hair and hung down around her face.
