Meghan Markle May Copy Queen Elizabeth's Travel Hack For Australia Trip

Meghan Markle may copy one of Queen Elizabeth II's travel hacks during her trip to Australia in October.

According to Kara Godfrey, a journalist from Express, the Duchess of Sussex may take some cues from the Queen when it comes to traveling. Later this year, Prince Harry and Markle will fly to Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji. As such, it is important that they are in good health for their royal engagements.

Queen Elizabeth II always wears gloves when traveling to prevent catching any illnesses. It is inevitable for her to shake hands with the public during the trip, so by wearing gloves, the Queen can avoid spreading the germs and bacteria.

"Given the need to shake hands so often, they are useful as protection and to stop the spread of infections," Richard Fitzwilliams explained of the Queen's fondness for wearing gloves.

It seemed that Markle has already started practicing this. According to Godfrey, the duchess was spotted wearing a pair of khaki gloves during Prince Louis' christening. Markle matched it with a coordinated dress and hat similar to how the Queen usually dresses up.

In related news, Markle and Kate Middleton reportedly had a secret to avoid Marilyn Monroe moments. The duchesses are among the most photographed people in the world, and they are often on the tarmac due to their royal trips.

"Often they wear body suits and clothes that actually increase static so it’s much hard for something to fly up," Myka Meier, founder of Beaumont Etiquette, told The Sun. "So you have an undergarment that is almost like a body suit that is one tactic that is used."

"I know when I went to finishing school we were taught that when you are on the tarmac if you do not use weights or heavy weighted material, you make sure it will not fly up by wearing undergarment that keep the fabrics connect to your body," she continued. "Also the undergarment would be chosen for that reason."

Meanwhile, the Queen has another method to avoid any disgraceful incidents. According to Stewart Parvin, who holds a royal warrant for his store Peter Jones, he just adds weights to the Queen's hemline.

"I just pop a couple of weights into the hemline of her dresses and coats and it makes them hang beautifully," Parvin said.
