Kate Middleton (Princess of Wales) generally avoids bright or dark nail polish due to an unofficial royal tradition favoring natural, understated looks, following Queen Elizabeth II's preference for pale shades like Essie's Ballet Slippers to maintain a refined image, though she has occasionally worn subtle nudes or even daring colors, showing a slight shift in modern royal grooming standards.
The Princess of Wales painted her nails a subtle shade of beige. Tradition dictates that members of the royal family wear little to no nail polish in order to maintain an understated and refined public image.
Royal nails have become something of a hot topic over the years, thanks to the endless (and ridiculous) debates over Meghan Markle's dark nail polish “breaking protocol.” For her part, Princess Kate tends to go polish-free, and has only worn color on her nails at major royal events a few times over the years.
Whilst the Princess didn't break any rules as such, the stand-out hue could be considered as poor etiquette, as William Hanson, an expert in royal etiquette, told The Sun that 'hot red and bright pink, for example, are not correct, especially for official occasions and particularly during mourning'.
This one is slightly more obvious. Instead of using “toilet,” royals use the word “loo” when they need to use the facilities. “'Toilet' is French by origin, so it is apparently avoided,” The Mirror writes.
A packed social schedule means that minty fresh breath should be present at all times, and as such, garlic has been nixed from the agenda. When she was Queen, Elizabeth banned garlic at nearly all royal events, and Charlie is following in those footsteps.

Once we knew I had secondary cancer, my initial treatment plan changed, and I started chemotherapy in May 2020. I was lucky that I responded well to chemotherapy, and with the use of the cold cap, I managed to keep most of my hair.
There is no evidence that she had major dental surgeries or obvious dental veneers; instead, she achieved improvements through these subtle, evidence-based treatments. In the end, Kate “fixed” her teeth by making small, expert-guided changes that resulted in a noticeably enhanced yet still authentic smile.
She revealed that the most likely answer is that the shade of orange doesn't suit Princess Kate: "I think the answer lies in DNA and Kate's awareness of how certain colours [are] less flattering compared to other colours."
Why was Diana a princess after her wedding but Kate was a duchess? “Diana was immediately Princess of Wales because it was her husband's most senior title,” explains Koenig. Kate, on the other hand, went by duchess after her husband became a duke on their wedding day.
Princess Diana was rarely seen without a French manicure. While not as iconic as her signature bixie hairstyle, the elegant nail look became a beloved beauty staple for the royal—and most other women in the '90s—thanks to its versatility and timeless appeal.

She started with a set of teeth that had a few common issues – a gap between her front teeth and minor misalignments – and through dental treatments she now has a straighter, whiter, and more uniform smile.
“The royals never have square sandwiches because tradition has it that anyone presenting them with pointed-edged food is trying to overthrow the throne of England,” he said. While working for the late Queen Elizabeth, Newbould said he never once prepared a square sandwich for her.
