Etiquette expert reveals the secret item Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton wear underneath dresses to avoid flashing their knickers
WITH millions of eyes watching Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton’s every move, avoiding a wardrobe malfunction is critical.
Etiquette expert Myka Meier revealed that the stylish royal pair have a sneaky trick to stop their skirts blowing up in public and revealing their underwear.
With Meghan preparing for her trip Down Under in October, she is sure to be stocking up on this handy item – particularly when being photographed on windy airport runways.
Speaking to the Sun Online, , founder of , revealed: “Often they wear body suits and clothes that actually increase static so it’s much hard for something to fly up.
“So you have an under garment that is almost like a body suit that is one tactic that is used.
“I know when I went to finishing school we were taught that when you are on the tarmac, if you do not use weights or heavy weighted material, you make sure it will not fly up by wearing under garments that keep the fabrics connect to your body.
“Also the undergarment would be chosen for that reason.”
Myka also revealed that heavier fabric would even be chosen specifically for runway appearances as it can be windy.
And it’s not the only trick they do to look picture perfect as they arrive in foreign locations.
Myka, who runs the course, said: “Often it’s so windy and breezy that hats are used to keep hair in place.
“Just like the dresses fly up, so does your hair. Right when you walk off the aeroplane those are the first photos that go viral, so the hat is often used right when they walk off for that reason.”
The Queen is said to use weights along the hem of her dresses, and these are said to be sourced from the curtain accessories section of department store, Peter Jones.
So there you have it, will you be trying out the royal tips on your next holiday?
