Meghan Markle’s Fashion Choices and Posture at the Queen’s Young Leader Awards

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, looked stunning in a pink Prada outfit at the Queen's Young Leader Awards.

However, social media users were quick to notice that she did not follow the usual posture for royal women at official engagements.

Instead of crossing her legs at the ankles or placing them off to the side, Meghan accidentally crossed her legs at the knee when taking her seat beside Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace.

This posture, known as the Duchess slant, is typically used by female members of the royal family when they have to sit for an extended period of time while maintaining poise and posture.

Michael Meyer, the founder of Beaumont Etiquette, previously explained that the move involves sitting straight with an egg width between the back and the seat, and the chin parallel to the ground.

The ankles should be kept together, and the legs slanted slightly to one side, or the ankles can be crossed if it is more comfortable.

Although some Facebook users criticized Meghan for not following etiquette rules, others pointed out that she is not a rule-breaker.

In fact, photographers have captured Kate Middleton and Princess Diana sitting in the same pose over the years.

Moreover, Meghan has sat this way before, and she is allowed to move her legs since she is not a statue.

Despite the attention on Meghan's posture, the event was meant to celebrate a group of young leaders from across the world who received awards for their inspiring work.

Unfortunately, Meghan's stance quickly became the focus of comment sections on social media, overshadowing the achievements of the recipients.

It is worth noting that Meghan's fashion choices have also been a topic of conversation since she joined the royal family.

She has been praised for her modern and elegant style, which often features bold colors and sleek lines.

In contrast, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is known for her classic and conservative fashion choices.

Meghan's pink Prada outfit was no exception to her fashion-forward style.

The sleeveless dress featured a belted waist and a pleated skirt that fell just below the knee.
