Peek-a-Boo
The former Duchess of Sussex gave cameras more than they bargained for (although they were more than willing to accept) when she and the prince were leaving a good friend’s wedding in Frensham, Surrey. It was also right around the time the duchess was celebrating her 37th birthday, so the crowd burst into (the birthday) song at one point to wish her well. When she noticed the mishap, she pulled her navy dress over a bit and shrugged it off.
Although this, like some of the other royal wardrobe blunders, has caused speculation that they’re intentionally doing some of these things. Because if it was a mistake – it was a pretty racy one to make. Not very ladylike, but we’re not complaining.
All Stuck Up
It's no wonder that the women of the royal families may have calluses the size of Texas on their feet, considering the constant requirement of wearing heels for every occasion. Besides being uncomfortable, these heels can also pose risks, as demonstrated when a princess's heel became wedged in a drainage hole. This unfortunate mishap occurred during the opening event of her non-profit rehabilitation treatment center. Fortunately, like a true prince charming, her partner rushed to her aid, swiftly coming to the rescue.
With his assistance, the potential calamity was averted, ensuring that she didn't experience a perilous fall. This incident serves as a reminder that even the most glamorous and composed individuals encounter unexpected challenges, and the support and presence of loved ones can make all the difference in navigating such situations.
Nudes
Princess Beatrice exposed a bit more of herself than she would have liked at a 2017 V&A party that she co-hosted with sister Eugenie. She wore a black lacy dress from Self-Portrait that had a nude lining underneath, which rode up without her awareness and exposed her nude-colored undergarments.
This brand is quite popular with royal ladies. Maybe there’s something they could do to hook the lining to the lace a bit more so that these types of malfunctions wouldn’t happen. Errors aside, though, the princess still looked lovely in the lacy number.
Iconic Movie Moment
Kate Middleton had her own Marilyn Monroe moment when a gust of wind caused her Emilia Wickstead dress to billow up, revealing a glimpse of her legs to a crowd of onlookers. This incident occurred during a visit to the National War Memorial in India. Throughout the entirety of the royal tour, she found herself engaged in a subtle battle with the relentless wind, attempting to keep her dress in place.
Alas, her efforts proved futile as the wind persisted in its mischievous game. Nevertheless, the Duchess of Cambridge maintained her composure, deftly patting down her dress each time it defied gravity, showcasing her unwavering poise in the face of an unexpected wardrobe malfunction. Her ability to handle such situations with grace further exemplified her royal stature and innate elegance.
Whoops
While most of the wardrobe mishaps on this list happened at no fault of the actual royal, the same can’t be said for this one. While in Birmingham with the prince in 2018, the duchess wore a new tailored J. Crew coat that looks a little – stiff. That’s because she didn’t remove the X-stitch that holds the bottom of the coat together to hold the vent together before it’s sold. But it is supposed to be taken out before it's worn.
Although, as much as fashionistas may have noticed the faux pas, it didn’t seem to bother the masses, who ended up buying so many of the coats that J. Crew was sold out.
