Duchess of Cambridge’s Brilliant Hack for High Heels

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is known for her love of n^de hosiery and has a brilliant hack for keeping her high heels from slipping off when she wears them.

According to reports, the 36-year-old royal wears John Lewis non-slip tights, which feature built-in ribbed grips that keep her shoes in place.

These pantyhose retail for just £5, $7, and come in black, nude, and tan.

Kate was first spotted wearing the tights during a royal tour of Canada in 2011 when she visited Sainte-Eustine University Hospital.

A close-up photo of her feet at the event shows the clear silicone grip peeking out of the side of her heels.

It is believed that the Queen requires women in the royal family to wear stockings at public events, and while Kate has worn black tights on occasion, n^de hosiery has become part of her signature look.

The Duchess of Cambridge has also been shopping at John Lewis department store Peter Jones for years, so it's likely she has come across the brand's non-slip tights.

In the past, it was hypothesised that Kate could have been wearing Walford's sheer non-slip tights, however, the brand no longer makes its sheer 15 tights with a built-in grip.

While Kate has made the non-slip tights her go-to accessory for public events, her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has also been seen wearing them.

Although Meghan spurned tradition by shunning tights for the announcement of her engagement to Prince Harry in November, she did wear them to attend a garden party at Buckingham Palace in May.

The event celebrating Prince Charles' 70th birthday took place just days after her wedding and was her first official engagement as a royal.

The Duchess of Sussex donned n^de tights, just like her sister-in-law.

However, some critics pointed out that the hosiery didn't match her skin tone and called for designers to offer more choices for women with darker skin.

It's likely that Kate will be sharing her hosiery hacks with her sister-in-law now that Meghan has officially gotten on board with the look.
