Meghan Markle Breaking Royal Protocol in 2018
19 Times Meghan Markle Proved That Royal Protocol Was Meant to Be Broken in 2018
Meghan Markle had one hell of a year. She married the love of her life, Prince Harry; she's expecting her first child; and she became a royal. While being a royal may sound glamorous and all, the title comes with a lot of rules — emphasis on a lot. For starters, protocol states that greetings should never go beyond a handshake and selfies and autographs are prohibited. Women of the royal family should wear hosiery, sport neutral-colored nail polish, and always look perfectly polished. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Royals should also refrain from showing PDA during public engagements and shutting their own car doors. Sounds exhausting, right? Well, Meghan clearly seems to think so. Ahead, see all the ways the Duchess of Sussex marched to the beat of her own drum and broke royal protocol this year.
