Royal women are expected to bare less flesh at public events and tights are generally recommended.
It is reported to be an unwritten rule in the Royal Family that royal women must wear nude tights to public events.
Wearing tights is apparently the Queen’s “only rule”, with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, always adhering to the rule when out in public.
The Queen’s royal rule was revealed by royal expert Victoria Arbiter in an interview with Insider magazine.
