They don’t have much say in their clothing choices I think. [/quote]

No, it varies a lot by person. Camilla and Kate almost certainly have staff stylists trained in protocol who work directly with designers and ensure everything is right. Beatrice and Eugenie, as working royals, likely have a budget for styling but I doubt it’s coordinated at Buckingham in the same way and they probably have more control over what they wear. They are also under significantly less scrutiny than the Queen Consort or the Princess of Wales.

Fergie has to pay her own way and is cash strapped. Likely she got some donated services and perhaps clothes from people she’s worked with in the past, or splurged. But no, she isn’t getting a stylist and dresser like Kate has.

The foreign royals have help like the most senior British royals and also have wardrobes that likely contain clothing appropriate for a funeral of a head of state on hand anyway. It’s literally part of their job.

Meghan is unusual because she’s under extreme scrutiny (more even than Camilla) but as a non-working royal and outsider she does not get a clothing budget and must pay for her own styling. I’m sure she has a stylist or two but don’t work for the royal family and thus can’t/won’t coordinate in the same way and may not be as schooled in, or feel as much adherence to, royal protocol and tradition. I am guessing that the palace cleared Meghan’s outfit for the funeral though, in some capacity, because of how tightly controlled this even was. Plus all the hubbub over what Harry would wear since he was not allowed to be in uniform for the funeral itself— there must have been some communication.

But I could be wrong about that even. H&M stayed separate from the BRF while in London and it sounds like communication was strained. They were originally invited to a reception for foreign dignitaries before the funeral but then found out from the press that it had been limited to working royals only. So maybe Meghan was totally on her own style wise, who knows. The earrings she wore were a gift from the queen, not leant (as Kate’s jewels were) so she might have just made those decisions on her own, with the help of whoever she employs to help with clothes.[/quote]
