The Royal Family is often praised for its impeccable style, setting trends and captivating the world with their elegance.
But even the most well-dressed royals can experience wardrobe mishaps from time to time.
Despite the careful planning and a team of advisers ensuring every outfit is perfect, unexpected moments do occur.
Whether it’s a gust of wind, a tight schedule, or a small oversight, the occasional fashion faux pas is inevitable.
These moments remind us that the royals are human, just like the rest of us, and often handle them with poise and humor.
Zara Tindall’s Dress Caught in Car Door
Zara Tindall recently experienced a relatable fashion mishap during her visit to Australia for the Magic Millions Carnival.
While attending a promotional event at the Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast, Zara looked effortlessly chic in a floral maxi dress by Scanlan Theodore.
However, as she got out of a black SUV, the hem of her dress got caught in the passenger door.
It was an unexpected moment from someone known for her impeccable style.
Meghan Markle’s Price Tag Blunder
Meghan Markle made headlines during her 2018 visit to Tonga with Prince Harry when she accidentally left the price tag on her scarlet Self-Portrait dress. The tag, which read, “returns will only be accepted if this tag remains attached,” was clearly visible as she arrived at Fua’amotu Airport. Despite the small oversight, Meghan still stunned with her ensemble, pairing it with a Dior clutch and Manolo Blahnik heels. The wind, however, played havoc with her hair, adding to the humorous moment.
Camilla’s Windy Wardrobe Incident
At Princess Charlotte’s christening in 2015, Queen Camilla looked elegant in a pale blue Bruce Oldfield dress.
However, a gust of wind outside St Mary Magdalene Church almost led to a wardrobe malfunction.
Camilla handled the situation gracefully, using her handbag to shield herself from the wind and keeping her composure while greeting the Archbishop of Canterbury.
She laughed off the moment, showing just how well she can handle such mishaps with dignity.
Queen Elizabeth’s Double Trouble
In 2010, at King Constantine of Greece’s 70th birthday celebration, Queen Elizabeth faced not one, but two fashion mishaps.
First, someone spilled what was believed to be coffee on her pastel-colored evening gown, leaving a noticeable stain.
To make matters worse, the delicate chain strap on her handbag broke.
Despite the setbacks, the Queen continued to carry herself with grace, showing the world that even royals have their share of fashion disasters.
Kate Middleton’s Back-to-Front Blouse
Kate Middleton once gave a unique twist to Gucci’s silk-crepe blouse during a public appearance.
While the blouse was designed with buttons down the back and cuffs, Kate opted to wear it with the buttons in front, creating a new take on the look.
Whether intentional or due to a mix-up, her style choice sparked a conversation, showcasing her willingness to embrace a little fashion experimentation.
Princess Diana’s Creased Wedding Dress
Princess Diana’s wedding gown is one of the most iconic dresses in history, but even this stunning design wasn’t immune to a mishap.
During her carriage ride to St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1981, the ivory silk taffeta gown became noticeably creased.
The designers, Elizabeth and David Emanuel, were reportedly horrified, with Elizabeth even saying she “felt faint” as she watched Diana’s grand entrance on television.
Despite this, Diana’s wedding look remains legendary.
Prince Harry’s Hole in His Shoe
At a 2018 wedding for his friend Charlie van Straubenzee, Prince Harry suffered a small fashion flaw—he had a hole in the sole of his left shoe.
Despite this, Harry charmed the crowd with his heartfelt best man speech, while his wife Meghan dazzled in a Club Monaco dress.
It was a small oversight that didn’t distract from the joy of the occasion, but it certainly added a touch of humor to the event.
Prince William’s Shoe Mishap During Interview
Prince William also had a similar fashion mishap while attending the World Economic Forum in 2019.
During an interview with Sir David Attenborough, Prince William crossed his legs, revealing a noticeable hole in the bottom of his shoe.
While the conversation about crucial environmental issues was the main focus, fans couldn’t help but notice the unexpected fashion flaw, providing a bit of lightheartedness during an important discussion.
Sarah Ferguson’s Hat Blown Away by the Wind
In 1989, Sarah Ferguson experienced a windy moment at Heathrow Airport while preparing to board a flight to Canada with Prince Andrew.
A strong gust of wind sent her hat flying, creating a memorable and humorous moment during their official tour.
The Duchess of York handled the situation with grace and humor, showing that even the most polished royal appearances are sometimes affected by unpredictable elements.
These wardrobe mishaps serve as a reminder that the royals, despite their polished and professional image, are not immune to the occasional fashion disaster.
It’s these rare moments of imperfection that make them more relatable and endearing to the public.
