THE royal family are known for their elegant style and impeccable etiquette but sometimes it doesn’t always go according to plan.
Zara Tindall, who is often hailed as the most relatable royal, recently had a mishap with her dress during her recent visit to Australia.
Princess Anne’s daughter was seen in a promotional video for Gold Coast’s Pacific Fair shopping centre wearing a Scanlan Theodore floral maxi dress.
However, as she arrived at the mall in a black SUV, the hem of her dress accidentally got caught in the passenger door.
And it’s not the only time the royals have suffered a wardrobe malfunction during a public outing.
From tags left on outfits to the wind causing havoc with dresses, here are the down-to-earth moments which remind us the royals are just human at the end of the day…
Meghan’s see-through skirt
In October 2018 during the final day of her New Zealand tour, the Duchess of Sussex wore a gorgeous pleated skirt by Givenchy.
However, her outfit was a lot more revealing than she may have anticipated as it proved to be completely sheer in certain lighting.
Luckily she had a pair of rather large knickers on underneath, saving her from any further embarrassment.
These days sheer has become quite a trend, so maybe she was just ahead of the curve.
Kate’s Marilyn Monroe moment
While visiting New Dehli, India, and honouring the 70,000 soldiers who died fighting for the British Army, Kate battled with the breezy weather.
During a wreath-laying at India Gate, a sudden gust of wind caught her gorgeous £2.4k dress.
Kate tried her best to keep her composure and struggled to control the white frock.
Kate’s backwards top
Only the Princess of Wales could wear a designer top backwards and it looks better than before.
We previously saw Kate put her unique spin on a Gucci silk crepe blouse in a gorgeous purple shade.
While the buttons were supposed to be worn down the back, Kate opted to wear them in front, creating a new look.
Fergie’s hat
Sarah, Duchess of York, found out exactly what can go wrong when you are wearing a hat in strong winds.
In 1989, Fergie was preparing to board a flight to Canada with Prince Andrew, when the black accessory blew away.
Thankfully, Sarah handled the situation well and it became a humourous part of the official tour.
Kate’s stuck shoe
Just like the rest of us, Princess Kate isn’t immune to the odd heel footwear fail.
During a visit to an addiction centre in Essex, the down-to-earth royal was left in hysterics after her heel got caught in a metal grate.
Despite the mini blunder, Kate remained calm and collected, as staff watched her skillfully weave the heel out – all while heavily pregnant.
After shrugging off the slightly embarrassing moment, the Princess carried on with her royal duties wearing a posh £660 coat.
Kate’s tights
Kate spends hours on her feet in stilettos but has a very handy trick for ensuring that she never slips out her shoes.
A few years ago, the royal mum-of-three accidentally revealed sticky pads inside her shoes, which helped to secure her inside her heels – genius!
And the best part is that the product won’t break the bank.
You can buy the must-have, non-slip tights from John Lewis for just £7, and they come in nude, black or natural shades.
Meghan’s tag
One fashion mishap Meghan suffered onTonga tour in 2018 was when she stepped out in a red Self-Portrait dress.
While the dress may have been lovely on, she forgot one key detail – the tag, which read: “Returns will only be accepted if this tag remains attached.”
Sticking out at the bottom of the dress it was visible for all to see, if she wanted to return to the store after she might have tried to hide it a bit better.
Prince William’s holey shoe
He may be the future King, but even Prince William seemingly wears shoes with a hole in on occasion.
During his 2019 interview with Sir David Attenborough at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he crossed his leg and exposed one of his soles.
The shoe appeared heavily worn, but some fans speculated that it could have been a piece of black tape.
Harry’s holey shoe
Prince Harry also had his own holey shoe as he attended the wedding of pal Charlie van Straubenzee in 2018.
It didn’t ruin the day, however, as Harry charmed guests with this best man speech, as he was accompanied by Meghan in a Club Monaco dress.
Camilla’s skirt
Queen Camilla experienced her own Marilyn Monroe moment and she struggled to keep her Bruce Oldfield skirt down at Princess Charlotte’s christening in 2015.
The wife of King Charles unfortunately got caught by a large gust of wind as she turned up at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham.
Clutching onto her hat, she successfully maintained her dignity – just – and laughed off the incident as she greeted the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Queen’s stained dress
The late Queen always looked pristine during royal events, apart from one uncharacteristic soiree.
In 2010, the monarch was attending the 70th birthday of King Constantine of Greece, in London, and her pastel dress was photographed stained with food.
The Daily Mail later claimed it was a “coffee spillage” done by a member of the waiting staff.
In addition to her dress, her glittery bag was seen with a broken strap.
Diana’s see-through skirt
The late Princess Diana was known as a fashion icon around the world, and many people still copy her iconic looks.
However, they may think twice about wearing a skirt that Diana was photographed in during 1981.
During a photoshoot at the nursery she worked in, the sun came out midway through, making her skirt appear see-through.
Diana, who was 19 at the time, was said to be horrified.
Kate Middleton's love of recycling clothes
KATE Middleton might be a Princess, but that certainly doesn't stop her from rewearing her favourite frocks.
Jenny Packham Gown: She first worn the frock to an ARK Gala Dinner in June 2011, and then rewore it three years later to the National Portrait Gallery in February 2014.
Alexander McQueen Coat Dress: Kate donned the beautiful number for Trooping the Colour in June 2016 and then just a year later, was spotted in it again for the Easter Service, in April 2017.
Temperley London Dress: She first wore the black lace dress at the War Horse Premiere, in January 2012, but then, just months later, donned it again, at the St. Andrews University Gala, in December 2012.
Hobbs Coat: Even Kate is a fan of a staple coat, as she’s reworn a classic number from Hobbs, which she first wore on Christmas Day in December 2012, and then again on a visit to Newcastle, in October 2013.
Kate Middleton’s sartorial choices continue to inspire many, proving that elegance and sustainability can go hand in hand.
