Have you noticed it?
Ever since she officially became a royal, many people have noticed that Meghan Markle never wears a crossbody bag anymore.
She used to when she attended royal engagements before their nuptials, however, ever since then, she only carries clutches with her.
And if you think its a royal style rule, then you’ll be mistaken.
Penny Junor, a royal etiquette expert, told Harper’s Bazaar: “I suspect that when Meghan was an actress and not a member of royalty, she kept money, make-up, and the kitchen sink in her cross-body bags – as we all do.
“Now that she is a duchess, she doesn’t need anything more useful than lipstick, and possibly her phone.”
Another etiquette expert, Myka Meier also noted that they hold them in front of their bodies as to avoid awkward handshakes or anyone being overly touchy.
“The Duchess of Cambridge may well prefer not to shake hands with certain people – but there are other ways to achieve this, as used by the Queen and other members of the royal family, than opting for a clutch over a bag with a strap,” a rep told the MailOnline.
