Apparently Her Majesty the Queen is not a fan of wedge shoes, which is why Kate and Meghan are not seen in them in public.
A source told Vanity Fair: “The Queen isn’t a fan of wedged shoes. She really doesn’t like them it’s well known among the women in the family.
The Duchess of Sussex nor the Duchess of will wear wedges in front of the Queen but Kate has been known to wear them on official engagements without her present.
According to Vanity Fair, she has never worn them in front of her husband’s grandmother, as she recognises Her Majesty’s preference towards them.
The Queen does not like the comfy, what could be described as clumsy.
Meghan has not been photographed in wedges since joining the Royal Family in May 2018.
She is unlikely to break this royal fashion protocol and never steps out in the platform shoe when the Queen is around.
Another fashion rule the duchesses have to abide by as a royal is wearing nude tights to Buckingham Palace garden parties.
Which explains why on her first public appearance, Meghan opted for pair of tights.
However for her engagement announcement she opted to ditch the tights and go bare-legged in front of the cameras.
The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly broken other royal protocol by appearing to reach for Prince Harry’s hand at the Young Leaders Reception.
Which is a precedent set by the Queen as she rarely holds hands with her husband in public, which has set an unwritten precedent for the other Royals.
Myka Meier, a royal etiquette expert who was trained by a former member of the Queen’s household royal life, the actress will have gone through hours of learning about British etiquette.
Ms Meier exclusively told Express.co.uk: “At this stage Meghan has been taught a wide spectrum of British etiquette and protocol – everything from dining and afternoon tea to social etiquette (from how to hold a handbag and sit correctly to how to meet and greet properly in the UK) will have been covered.
The British-American etiquette expert coined the terms the Duchess slant and the Cambridge cross which are used to describe the way royals often sit in a formal manner.
The Duchess slant is when the knees and ankles touch and legs are slanted to the side.
“This is the best way to protect modesty, especially if you’re wearing a dress or skirt, as when the legs slant, cameras are unable to catch any revealing angles,” Ms Meier said.
