Of course, the thing about rules is they’re made to bebroken, right?

Well, the royals might not think that way.

Nevertheless, they have been known to choose some inappropriate outfits from time to time.

Kate Middleton Prince William

While there, the duke and duchess attended a party and that’s when it happened.

Middleton accidentally wore the wrong dress.Gasp!

Was it a super short mini or a strapless maxi?

Prince Harry swastika

In the early aughties, he was quite the royal rebel.

At 20 years old, Harry was third in line to the throne.

Needless to say, everyone was keeping a watchful eye on this guy.

Of course, nothing excused what happened at a friend’s birthday party.

He even had a red, white, and black swastika armband.

Harry later apologized in a statement (viaThe Guardian) calling the costume a “poor choice.”

Kate Middleton fur lined gloves

Surely a poor choice for anyone, but especially for a British prince.

Kate Middleton or Marilyn Monroe?

Unfortunately for Middleton, that has meant having pictures taken of her various wardrobe malfunctions.

According toan Australian news agency, British magazines and newspapers refused to publish them, which is great.

Perhaps it’s time to add this tip to the royal dress code.

Kate Middleton’s fur pas

It’s no secret that wearing fur these days is controversial.

If you’re a public figure, the controversy only intensifies.

PETA was less than happy when they saw what Middleton was wearing on a family ski trip.

As it so happens, no one in the royal family is actually even allowed to wear it.

Princess Eugenie wedding reception dress

It’s doubtful Middleton will make the same gaffe again.

She wasn’t messing around.

The Queen may not be pleased but Eugenie still looked great.

“Outside walking the dogs for example, then jeans are fine.”

So, what about when doing stretches?

It’s probably not the best choice.

William PrinceWilliam took to the park in jeans to do some stretches before playing a polo match.

Not only did he opt for denim, buthe chose white jeans.

Perhaps the Duke of Cambridge thought them more appropriate than sweatpants.

Princess Michael of Kent

He did pair them with a collared shirt, after all.

Still, his outfit can be classed as inappropriate in a couple of ways.

For one, they’re not even appropriate for the actual activity.

Princess Diana

Have you ever tried to exercise in jeans?

Like all royal weddings, it was an opulent, star-studded affair, and afashion lover’s dream.

Naturally, everyone wondered what the princess would be wearing as she walked down the aisle.

Meghan Markle ripped jeans

Unsurprisingly, it was absolutely stunning; the perfect mix of classic elegance.

Whatdidcome as quite a shock, though, was hersecondwedding dress.

Yes, she hadtwo.

Even more shocking was the fact that her gown was blush pink rather than white or ivory.

Though she strayed from tradition, no one can deny that she looked absolutely radiant.

Yes, you read that right.

Though Princess Michael hassince apologized, her fashion faux pas will not soon be forgotten.

Diana’s better-than-revenge dress

Princess Diana is arguably the most memorable royal in modern history.

“And she did.”

Although the royals are much more a khaki-wearing family, jeans are sometimes appropriate.

Now, what about ripped jeans?

While it may sound harsh, them’s the breaks.

Tag, you’re it, Meghan!

Ever since her days as a Hollywood starlet, Meghan Markle has been totally slaying the fashion game.

And much like your BFF (and yourself), Markle makes mistakes, too.

Hey, we’ve all been there.

And with the whirlwind year Markle has had, we think this slight oversight can certainly be forgiven.

Hide those shoulders, Megs!

Meghan, who was also in attendance, made an “inappropriate” style decision as well.

The royal family is apparently not a big fan of showing off their shoulders.

“They don’t usually wear sleeveless dresses,” English Manner Chief Executive Alexandra Messervy explained toInStyle.

Hmm, okay then!

Meghan Markle bares all?

Nevertheless, some people had a hard time looking past her legs.

Yes, her legs.

Meghan may not have known the let’s be honest totally odd royal rule at the time.

Nevertheless, she probably has some regrets.
