I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again – being a royal seems cool when you think of the historical homesteads, tiaras, money and power, but when it comes to real life, it sucks a giant bag of dicks.
You can’t do SHIT as a royal, and there’s like 500 different rules you can get wrong at any given time. Which it seems Meghan Markle is learning the hard way.
This week, she cooked it at Wimbledon. Well, *almost* cooked it. See in 2016, she wore this hat (clearly it’s her tennis hat or something) but this year, she held it in her hands the entire time. Why? Well, she was in the royal box this year, and apparently wearing hats when in the royal box is a big ol’ NOPE.
“Protocol – dress is smart, suits/jacket and tie, etc. Ladies are asked not to wear hats, as they tend to obscure the vision of those seated behind them,” says Wimbledon’s description of the royal box.
Look tbh, fair fucking enough – ever stood behind some person at a gig or a festival that insisted on wearing a hat? It’s the pits.
Maybe this is one royal protocol rule we can get behind.
