Meghan Markle Not The Only Royal To Act, Perform On Stage
Meghan Markle was nominated at the Teen Choice Awards for her style in June, but she isn’t the only royal to receive such recognition.
According to Town & Country, the people behind the awards show pitted Markle against Blake Lively, Harry Styles, Migos, Zendaya and Chadwick Boseman in the Choice Style Icon category. But on Sunday, it was announced that Styles won, according to People.
Despite Markle’s loss, her nomination paved the way for the publication to revisit all of the other royals that also influenced the world of fashion in their own right. One of the photos they uploaded was of a young Prince Philip of Greece dressed in his costume for his school’s production of “Macbeth.” The black and white snap was taken in 1935 as part of the Gordonstoun School’s production.
A second black and white picture show Hubert Tanner leading Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret in their rehearsal for “Aladdin” at Windsor Castle in 1943. The photo was taken while they were performing “The Ladies Wot Oblige.”
In the snap, the royal siblings are wearing elaborate dresses, and Princess Margaret also appeared to be wearing a crown. They all have huge smiles on their faces as well.
Princess Elizabeth was also featured in a production of “Old Mother Red Riding Boots” in 1944.
Another photo shows Grace Kelly starring in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 production of “Rear Window.” The actress also appeared in 10 movies, and she also headlined several stage plays. In 1954, Kelly even won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film “The Country Girl.”
Caroline Monaco, Princess Grace’s daughter performed at a Dance Gala in Monaco in the 1960s. Kelly’s younger daughter, Stephanie, also recorded her own pop album in the 1980s.
The late Princess Diana was also a dancer, and she performed with Wayne Sleep at the Royal Opera House to Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” in 1985.
