At Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Wedding, the Duchess of Kent "Broke Royal Protocol" in a Surprising Way

The Duchess of Kent wore sneakers at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

Katharine, the Duchess of Kent, who once led a secret life as a music teacher, passed away on September 4 at the age of 92. While the duchess was relatively low-key within the Royal Family, particularly in her later years, she made quite an impact at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal wedding on May 19, 2018. In fact, the Duchess of Kent reportedly broke royal protocol in a surprising way at the regal ceremony, which was held at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.

For the important occasion, Duchess Katharine wore a floral Erdem dress, which she accessorized with a lilac fascinator, pearl jewelry, and a white crossbody bag. For footwear, the Duchess of Kent ditched heels in favor of comfort, opting for a pair of white and silver Hogan sneakers.
