They are \u2018gifted\u2019 free outfits in return for featuring them on their social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>But for royal women, the rules are different.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental principle is that no gifts (ranging from clothes, jewellery and handbags to even cuddly toys or kitchen equipment) should be accepted that would, or would appear to, place the royal under any obligation to the donor &#8211; for example, receiving free clothes with the expectation that they be worn to a public event and thus give the designer publicity.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, the Princess of Wales has bought clothes online, borrowed clothes from favoured designers (via her stylists and PAs) or paid cost price to have clothes made for her.

They can say it\u2019s nothing to do with the institution because Harry and Meghan aren\u2019t publicly funded members of it &#8211; but they are the King\u2019s son and daughter-in-law and any suggestion of cashing in on royal status reflects badly on the monarchy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Kate quietly reminds Meghan how it should be done, arguably the biggest call-out someone could ask for\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>This feature first appeared in <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/comps.womanmagazine.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-url=\"https:\/\/comps.womanmagazine.co.uk\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><em><strong>Woman<\/strong><\/em><\/a><strong> magazine.
