The Big Announcement

On October 15th, Kensington Palace proudly confirmed that Meghan Markle is expecting! As famous faces and fans took to social media to send the happy couple their well wishes, many were wondering, ‘what do the royals think?’

Just as the world had become captivated by their romance and subsequent wedding, it seems millions are invested in the couple beginning their very own family. 

Lots To Take Note

Being a royal and living in the public eye has both its benefits and drawbacks. While having a royal title gives one access, opportunity, luxury and exorbitant wealth, there is also a lot of responsibility that comes with the demanding role. There’s a hefty rulebook which the Windsors must adhere to, with Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex, is also expected to comply to. Meghan is supposedly taking princess lessons – brushing up on the travel rules she has to take into account when going on official tours and the royal food rules she must follow when dining with the Queen. No garlic, everyone!

New Rules

This week a new rule emerged that Meghan would have to follow. In accordance with official royal protocol, the family must adhere to a strict dress code, reportedly having to dress in ‘smart casual’ attire at absolutely all times. The one key rule? No tracksuits. Meghan will have to bypass the leggings and maternity loungewear for designer dresses and fitted cardigans.
