Meghan Markle might just have broken Royal protocol at the British Fashion Awards

Much like you know, the Royal family has tons of protocol to follow and adhere to. They also have a ton of fashion rules that they have to follow. Well, being the rebel she is (and we love it!), Meghan Markle may just have broken Royal protocol yet again.

For her unannounced appearance at the British Fashion Awards at Royal Albert Hall in London, the mom-to-be looked stunning in her one-shouldered Givenchy black dress. After all, her appearance was to honour her wedding dress designer – Clare Waight Keller, artistic director of Givenchy – with the British Womenswear Designer of the Year award. The 37-year-old was noticeably wearing black nail polish as she broke royal style protocol and strayed away from the aesthetic standard of delicate, translucent nail shades previously set by the Queen and Kate Middleton.



Markle's look was completed with a sleek low bun, strappy gold heels, a couple of gold bangles and with her stunning engagement rock. Though it’s an unofficial rule, it is widely known that the Queen finds colourful nail polish distracting. Bright hues are not banned for the Royals, but nude colours are a more practical choice for official engagements.
Queen Elizabeth, no objections here?
