Prince Harry reportedly won’t let Meghan Markle wear a tux during royal trip to Australia

NOW that Meghan’s a royal, she must adhere to strict clothing rules. Apparently Harry has put his foot down with one of her outfit choices.

NOW that Meghan Markle is officially a royal, there is a long list of things she cannot do.

There are strict rules about what the Duchess can and cannot wear — The Queen has strong feelings about pantyhose, nude nail polish and short hemlines.

But now apparently her husband Prince Harry has also started to dictate what Meghan wears.

Meghan has proven that she is a fan of wearing a suit to some royal engagements and was hoping to wear a tux during her upcoming royal tour of Australia in October.

According to The Daily Mail, Prince Harry has asked that Meghan refrain from wearing suits on the trip.

“Meghan’s penchant for cigarette trousers and stylish flares … is said to be barely tolerated by Royal aides, who want her to stick to the traditional demure skirts and opaque tights,” the Mail states.

“And Harry, who has been sitting in on some of Meghan’s meetings at Kensington Palace with ‘special projects teams’ from various designers, is said to have given the thumbs-down to a masculine Stella McCartney tuxedo suit his wife picked out for a glitzy evening event during the tour.”

There has reportedly been tension between royal aides and Meghan over her style choices.

“Meghan is being told she needs to stop dressing like a Hollywood star and start dressing like a Royal,” a source from one of the fashion teams visiting Kensington Palace recently told The Mail.

“Meghan wanted to wear a tuxedo-style suit but Harry said it wasn’t traditional enough,” the source said.

Meghan has previously flouted plenty of royal rules. Let’s hope she breaks this stupid rule as well.
