Who knew?

It has been a very exciting year for the royal family. There's been two big royal weddings, one pregnancy announcement and the birth of a little prince. Quite a year! Speaking of royal babies and pregnancy announcements, have you ever wondered why Kate and Meghan's dresses are shorter during pregnancy? We know, Meghan is new to the world of maternity dressing, but Kate is a pro at this stage - and always opts for shorter hemlines. Well, apparently there's good reason for that. The founder of maternity brand Seraphine, Cecile Reinaud, spoke to Instyle about Meghan's maternity wear choices: “She’s likely to have quite a big bump because she’s quite a petite build." “So highlighting legs and arms is always a good trick to keep a nice silhouette. “Kate did go shorter for sure. “She went shorter, on a couple of occasions well above her knee, which she never does normally. "And especially in winter, because when she wore opaque black tights, it looks okay." “It doesn't look too much because it's not bare legs." Recently, while on tour in New Zealand, Meghan sparked a level of controversy for wearing a short black dress. People were claiming that Meghan had broken royal tradition, but lads... she doesn't pick her own clothes. As the founder of Beaumont Etiquette Myka Meierm explained, she has a team who handles her outfit choices. “They would not have given her the option to do something disrespectful. “She has an entire team of aides that call in pieces. “They would have pulled appropriate pieces. “The Palace is very involved in what she wears and her presentation. “And of course she has the final say, but there wouldn’t have been any of her breaking rules."
