Did Kate Middleton intentionally shade Meghan Markle at the royal wedding? And what did Pippa
Middleton do at her own sister's wedding that was similarly scandalous? Keep watching to find out!
The royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might have been a few years ago,
but people are still talking about the fashion. Of course, fans will obsess over Megan's wedding
dress for decades to come, but someone else's outfit is causing a bit of debate
too. It would seem that some people can't get over the outfit that Kate Middleton wore
as a guest to the royal wedding. And let's just say it's not because of how gorgeous it was.
Dressing as a wedding guest can be challenging. Not only do you need to take the dress code
and the time of year into account, but you also have to make sure it will photograph well.
Something tells us it's even more challenging when you're a member of the royal family,
especially as royal weddings are typically watched by millions of people around the world.
Unfortunately, the Duchess of Cambridge's outfit choice at her brother-in-law's wedding
continues to be a subject of debate. Despite the event taking place in May 2018,
it appears to still be causing a major divide on social media four years later.
"I think it was quite-quite an adventure really, it was pretty bumpy up there."
There is one major rule all guests take into account when they attend weddings, and that's
to not wear white. In fact, you shouldn't even wear any color that looks remotely close to white.
Some people on TiKTok seem to think that Kate Middleton broke that rule at Harry and Meghan's
royal nuptials. The Duchess of Cambridge wore one of her favorite items to the wedding, which
was a sleek coat dress. However, many TikTok users argue that the coat dress was an off-white color.
In photos, the shade of the dress does look oddly close to white. But according to Newsweek,
Buckingham Palace cleared up the debate, saying Kate's dress was in fact primrose yellow
and not white. The palace's official statement explained,
"Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge will be wearing a primrose yellow wool silk
tailored coat by Alexander McQueen. The Duchess of Cambridge is wearing a hat
designed by Philip Treacy and shoes by Jimmy Choo."
While a statement from Buckingham Palace should be enough to end the debate, some TikTok users
seem to think the outfit was still disrespectful. And it would seem that this debate is nothing new.
According to multiple reports, people were also talking about Kate's outfit choice at the time of
the wedding, with some convinced that it was totally fine for the duchess to wear white.
It was even suggested that the bride herself must have approved Kate's outfit
prior to the wedding. However, it's highly likely that the Duchess of Sussex had a lot
more pressing matters to deal with than what other members of the royal family were wearing
to her wedding. Regardless of whether or not the former Suits actress sanctioned the look,
it's clear that many people still aren't over Kate's choice.
There appear to be two distinct camps in this scandalous royal wedding debate.
Some onlookers suggest that Kate didn't mean to take attention away from the bride in any
way and that her outfit choice essentially doesn't matter. As one TikTok user noted,
"Kate has 900 coat dresses in various colors,
she could have picked a different dress. But I honestly don't think it was intentional."
Other people believe the decision was wrong either way, with one writing,
"Too close to off-white to be appropriate."
It's also worth noting that this isn't the first time someone has worn white to a royal wedding.
Back in 2011, Kate's sister, Pippa Middleton, wore a white bridesmaid dress to the Duke and Duchess
of Cambridge's unforgettable nuptials. Typically, bridesmaids wear colorful outfits to help make the
bride's dress stand out. So the world was understandably shocked when they saw Pippa
matching with her sister Kate in a gorgeous all-white gown.
Of course, Kate and Pippa's situation was a little different,
especially as it was confirmed that Kate picked out her sister's dress. So for future reference,
unless the bride specifically tells you to wear white, you should probably just steer clear.
