The Yale educated princess, who speaks four languages, belongs to the fifth richest royal family in Europe and though the family is revered, as with many of the 25 royal families still existing in the world, they’re only there for ceremonial purposes. However, the Swedish government funds the Royal House of Bernadotte with £54million annually of which £11 million gets used in their 11 palaces.

What is it they say that a good fashion purchase is when anybody can name what you just bought? Makes sense, right?
The perils of wealth is clear in the suddenly lucky Meghan Markle. She never bothered to check whether a £3,922 buy looks good on her. This is a waste of taxpayer’s money at the very least. Well, if there are plans to use this as a curtain, it’s money well spent. However, it’s a total eyesore.
But for fairness sake, any flowery creation of Oscar de la Renta never looked good on anyone. I always have the feeling it looks good on the old well-to-do ladies at Martha’s Vineyard.
The Duchess of Sussex naturally got a mixture of reactions, obviously from polite people and the downright frank ones. But I dare say without the title before her name, she wouldn’t get any other reaction at all except bad, shocking ones.
Check out the video and decide which is wrong. The silhouette of the dress or lack of it. The design of the dress itself, the print on the dress or the fact she could’ve chosen another color to go with the print of blue flowers. Her skin tone never got considered. Whether she would’ve chosen a fitted version of this dress, the dress would still end up wearing her because of the neutral color of white she chose.
White, no pun, isn’t her color. The fascinator is off and so are her shoes. Nude is her neutral. Who on earth employed her stylist?
I wouldn’t even describe the dress’ sleeves and hem. That creation can never get salvaged.
Fashion blunder at its galore. Surprisingly the dress is not on sale yet but is available made to order for delivery next year. Really? I wonder who will buy it. Supermodels are the only ones who can get away with them.
Wear the dress Meghan. Wear class. Don’t wear your newly acquired wealth. It looks off-putting.
Meghan wore the nightmare of a dress at Prince Harry’s cousin’s wedding on June 17.
The latest fashion with the royal stamp of approval. From hair, to accessories, to the dress, nothing demonstrates etiquette in dressing like royals dressing up.
It had just been almost a week ago since they all were at the center of the world’s attention when the 10th in line to the Swedish throne, Princess Adrienne, got baptized.
The Swedish royals were all at the Polar Music Prize ceremony in Stockholm.

Kids will be kids and parents with three kids will always have their hands full, royal or not. Nannies and governesses might still exist but nothing substitutes for a parents’ guidance.
Princess Madeleine of Sweden and husband financier, Christopher O’Neil, might’ve have foreseen the behavior of their eldest daughter, four-year-old Princess Leonore happening, had they not had their hands full with their three kids and royal duties. The bored princess rolled on the floor in the aisle at her baby sister’s christening. It must’ve been too much for her as going shoeless sometime during the ceremony didn’t quell the lost of interest she has in the event at the Drottningholm Palace Chapel.
"This is boring," the princess seemed to say
Who? Me?
The "I'll get you for this when we get home," classic stare
Princess Madeleine can only manage sharp stares as she was holding her little one, Princess Adrienne. Her husband Chris was helplessly trying to catch Princess Leonore’s attention. The little one got pictured with the expression of, “Who? Me?”
To top it all off, everyone in the congregation is obviously working hard to ignore the little princess’ antics.
It was hilarious, humbling and touching. Better not have your own baby’s christening, though simple, not turning out like this for the world to see, right?
One of the most beautiful, unstaged royal christening portraits ever
When they first stepped out for the ceremony, Princess Madeleine’s family look perfect. When they came out after the christening, we got one of the most beautiful royal christening portraits ever.
It's not the first time Princess Leonore playfully stole the limelight.
Madeleine, 35, was among the first arrivals for the christening on June 8. Her older sister Crown Princess Victoria was spotted making her way to the chapel in a private car.
The couple was joined by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, and Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia along with their children.
Also present were godparents Anouska d'Abo, Coralie Charriol Paul, Nader Panahpour, Gustav Thott, Charlotte Kreuger Cederlund and Natalie Werner - along with officiants Chief Court Chaplain Bishop Johan Dalman and Pastor of the Royal Court Parish Michael Bjerkhagen.
Who is who in the Swedish royal family?
Carl XVI Gustaf and his wife Silvia, the King and Queen of Sweden
At the age of 72, Carl is the second-longest reigning monarch in Swedish history.He took to the throne in 1973. He and his wife Queen Silvia, 74, have three children: Victoria, 40, Carl, 39 and Madeleine, 35, and six grandchildren.
Crown Princess Victoria, eldest daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf, and her husband Prince Daniel
Victoria, 40, was not expected to take to the throne when she was born in 1977 but a change in the law of succession three years later changed that. In 2010, Victoria married her former personal trainer Daniel Westling, and the couple share two children, Princess Estelle, five, and Prince Oscar.
Prince Carl Philip, son of King Carl XVI Gustaf, and his wife Princess Sofia
Prince Carl Philip, 39, caused a stir when he married former glamour model Sofia Hellqvist in 2014. The Prince, who is dyslexic, accused the public of 'bullying' her at the time, but the duo went on to welcome Prince Alexander, in April 2016 and another little boy, Prince Gabriel, in August the following year.
Princess Madeleine, youngest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf and her husband Christopher O'Neill
Princess Madeleine, 35, broke off her engagement to a lawyer to marry a 'commoner', financier Christopher O'Neill, in 2013. He declined a royal title when he married the princess to be free to pursue his career.The couple lives a relatively private life in London. Currently seventh-in-line to the Swedish throne, the keen equestrian and art history graduate shares Princess Leonore, three, and Prince Nicolas, two, with her husband, and the family recently welcomed a second daughter, Princess Adrienne.

The former PR executive,according to insiders: does her own hair, sometimes drives herself on engagements and even makes her own pre-official engagement notes without the help of a lady-in-waiting.
Sophie Rhys-Jones before she maried Prince Edward
Sophie, the daughter of a tire salesman and a secretary from Kent, married into the royal family in 1999 and have forged a close bond with the Queen. Insiders confirmed she might’ve taken the place of the Queen’s sister and mother when they passed away. That would be natural. Sophie stayed true to the royal family when the Queen’s in-laws: Princess Diana, Mark Phillips and Sarah Ferguson all bolted out from her children’s lives through divorce.
Fashion is a personal preference and we could always say someone’s fashion choices could’ve been worse.
Princess Sofia of Sweden had been described as elegant and with due respect, she could probably be. But with the look that she pulled off in a graduation ceremony of Sophiahemmet Universityin Stockholm, she could do better.
Don't you think she can do better?
We’ve seen her do perfect outfits in the past. From head to toe, she was perfect.
Though bound by royal protocol, she can still pull off great outfits befitting a former model
I don’t know about you, but there’s a rule in fashion that the higher the neckline, the more the hair should be pulled up. So much so is: the longer the dress, the more the hair should be up unless you have a plunging or deep neckline. It’s the rule of proportion.
Besides with Princess Sofia’s best style moments, she mostly have her hair up.
During the ceremony, this mother-of-two wore her famous brunette locks in a tousled style. She chose a makeup palette of soft nudes to compliment her outfit.
If the design of her dress looks familiar, it’s because it’s by L.K. Bennett who the Duchess of Cambridge loves. He’s known for his affordable price-tag.
The print of the dress is pretty and it comes with pearl buttons giving it a classic appeal.
However, much as a hype going on for this type of dress, I hadn’t seen any royal woman pulling this off as models and celebrities do.
Too much old school is going on: from the events royal women wear this type of dress to down to the demand for modest fashion which their position dictates. Tea dresses look great on models on the runway because these modeled clothes would either have a plunging neckline or will have shorter than normal hemlines. Take away those and you end up with a house dress. Worst part is, I don’t think women in their 40s or even 50s would even wear this to hang out in their garden. It looks like the last thing one would wear if one hadn’t done laundry in a year and basically doesn’t have anything and has no plans whatsoever going out or getting seen.
