No Jeans is the rule. Hardly difficult. I'm not a fan of jeans because I don't find them remotely comfortable. But seeing as she wasn't in the Royal Box it matters not. How she managed to get 40 people who had VIP tickets to stay out is another story though. I'm a regular at the tournament and have never seen that before. Especially not with a Serena game.

No, Annie, she wasn't but I think officials flew into a tizz because they were worried she'd watch Serena's match then want to move on to the royal box and they'd have to turn her away. shock

There is a dress code for the royal box, Male and Female

I thought she looked smart as well and didn't know jeans were frowned upon. It's an outdated attitude because I think/hope we've moved on from looking down our noses at what was considered shabby, working class attire.

Good jeans these days cost a fortune. I bet Meghan's weren't under £20 from Bon Marché ( where I often get mine!)

I suppose there has to be a dress code for the royal box on centre court or folk might let it all hang out shock shock

Was she in the royal box ?

I see in the paper that Meghan is being criticised for wearing jeans when she went to watch Serena Williams playing tennis on Centre Court. Apparently such daring is a definite no-no.

I wonder if anyone told her beforehand.

In the photograph I saw I think she looks smarter than the people sitting beside her.
