One thing that even the biggest fans of the Royal Family can agree on is that they are almost nothing like us. After all, these royals are either born into a life of wealth and privilege or marry into one. Once they are part of “the Firm,” they never have to worry about paying bills…heck, they don’t have to worry about money in the least. One of the only things they do have to worry about is how to deal with all of their adoring fans, which is (let’s face it) a good problem to have!
Every now and then, however, royals experience some of the down-to-earth woes as the rest of us. This includes wardrobe mishaps, children having their moments, or even just the cameras catching them in an unflattering moment. Whenever this happens, it’s hard to shake the idea that they’re not all that different. Don’t believe it? Keep reading to discover the Royal Family’s most surprisingly relatable moments!
Move over, Marilyn Monroe
Kate Middleton is one of the most popular royals for a reason. After all she, she’s fun, funny, and absolutely beautiful. But none of that keeps her from experiencing a frequent wardrobe mishap. And not just any wardrobe mishap…the one that Marilyn Monroe made famous. You see, Kate just keeps having embarrassing moments where the wind nearly causes an embarrassing wardrobe mishap!
It happened to Kate Middleton at Eugenie’s wedding, an incident that left Kate laughing. Of course, she was an old hand at this, as the exact same thing happened to her in 2011 when she got off the plane during a visit to Canada. And it happened again when she received flowers at a London charity event, and yet again at the Indian Gate Memorial. As it turns out, Kate’s most unpredictable fashion challenge might just be the wind!
At the very least, she’s not the only one this happens to. At Princess Charlotte’s christening, the exact same thing happened to Queen Camilla, who also appeared surprised by the unexpected gust of wind!

Meghan Markle forgets the tag
Meghan Markle has always been something of a fashionista. That’s not surprising, of course: she was a major American television celebrity before marrying into the Royal Family, so she knows a thing or two about dressing to impress. But knowing how to dress to impress doesn’t make somebody immune to wardrobe mishaps, and this is something that Meghan had to figure out the hard way.
When she was completing her royal tour in Tonga, Meghan turned heads everywhere she went thanks to a gorgeous red dress. After those heads turned, however, many of them noticed something unexpected: a price tag was still visible! Honestly, that would be embarrassing for anyone, even if they were just wearing jeans. Even in a designer dress, it’s an easy mistake that anyone could make.
Prince Louis has a relatable childhood moment
Sometimes, it seems like even Kate Middleton has her share of unpredictable moments. Her polished public appearances often look carefully planned. But she just keeps getting reminders that there are things that even she can’t control. First and foremost is something that most of us can relate to: kids melting down in public!
The most prominent example of this was during Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Pageant. The eyes of the world were on the Royal Family, but that didn’t keep Louis from having a few restless moments that required Kate’s attention. She had to do this before when Charlotte had a similar moment of frustration in public. Charlotte mellowed out soon enough, but that didn’t keep her from sticking her tongue out at the inaugural King’s Cup charity sailing regatta her mother was hosting. Kate responded with a smile and encouraged Charlotte to wave.

Eugenie and Beatrice keep it real
So far, we’ve focused on royal moments that are embarrassing. After all, there’s nothing quite as relatable as saying or doing something in public that you worry will ruin your reputation. However, embarrassment isn’t the only thing that the common man can relate to. For example, all of us have been known to act goofy from time to time when we didn’t know when someone was taking pictures. And once those pictures come out? There’s now a permanent record of a time when we were being especially playful..
Few royals understand this better than Beatrice and Eugenie. As young ladies who have focused on their own careers and lives, they are different from most of the other royals. If you need further proof of just how playful they can be, check out this candid photo that was taken when they were dancing, posing, and generally having fun and being playful. From the funny faces to the funnier poses, one thing’s for sure: these ladies were having a hell of a time!
