Meghan Markle has broken sartorial royal protocol on several occasions over the years, including the time she exposed her shoulders (a big no-no!) at Trooping the Color back in 2018 by wearing an off-the-shoulder pale pink Carolina Herrera dress.
And yet another potentially risqué (for the royal family!) past outfit is getting our attention at the moment; and that outfit is the black midi dress she wore to the Lion King London premiere back in 2019.
Meghan Markle Wears Stunning Jason Wu Dress To 'The Lion King' Premiere In 2019
The former Suits actress looked incredible when she and Prince Harry, who were very much still working royals at the time, attended the London premiere of Disney's The Lion King in July 2019.
The Duchess of Sussex chose to wear a stunning black Jason Wu satin fit and flare midi dress on the yellow paw-printed carpet, which featured sheer long sleeves and a sheer upper bodice. We don't know what the royal family would have said about that behind closed door! And that's not all, as it also exposed some skin at the back where it buttoned up, which would also undoubtedly be frowned upon.
Despite the risqué elements of the dress, we think the American Riviera Orchard founder looked incredibly chic. She styled her dark hair in a sleek, low bun to show off her Nikos Koulis diamond and black enamel earrings, and accessorized further with black pointed toe Aquazzura pumps, and an elegant black Gucci clutch.
