Royal Family's official YouTube channel shared a video with Lucy Hume, Head of Content at Debrett’s, who had all the answers about the strict rules to follow when meeting the royals.

The fashion etiquette expert broke down the different dress codes that could be enforced, starting with the most formal, which would be expected at state banquets and royal events.

She said: “You would be looking at a dress code like white tie, which is similar to black tie that we’d see on the red carpet but the bowtie is white and it has a wing collar for men, and for that dress code women would be expected usually to wear a long formal evening gown. “Black tie is a shorter dinner jacket for men and a black bow tie, women can wear a trouser suit or a cocktail dress.

And then we come down to lounge suit which is what you would be familiar with wearing to the office. And then smart casual. ” READ MORE: Princess Eugenie spotted hanging out with Prince Harry at Super Bowl If someone is fortunate enough to get an invite to Buckingham Palace, the expert revealed that it would likely be “formal day-wear”, which is similar to a wedding but not quite as formal.
