Kate, Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla have both suffered occasions where their dresses accidentally flowed up in the wind. But according to a style expert, the royals now use a clever trick to prevent that from happening.

Kate, Princess of Wales went on a tour to North America with Prince William in 2011, when she experienced an accidental fashion faux pas.
While on a windy runway, the Princess's yellow Jenny Packham dress blew up from behind, causing Kate to quickly push the gown down with her hands. Jenny Packham said at the time: "The Duchess wore the dress at an airport while touring North America, and the wind blowing up the runway revealed rather too much of the royal legs.
"Well, I didn't know it was going to be worn on a windy runway, but I did think maybe in the future I will put in more weighting, just in case." This is not the only time this has happened to Kate. At Princess Eugenie's wedding in 2018, the same thing happened to her pink Alexander McQueen dress.
Queen Camilla also suffered the same malfunction in 2015 at Princess Charlotte's christening. The Queen's pale blue dress blew in the wind as she exited the Church of St Mart Magdelent on the Sandringham estate.
Daena Borrowman at jewelery box explained to Express.co.uk that Kate and Camilla have likely been sewing weights into the hemlines of their dresses ever since.
She claimed: "Pennies or small weights are sewn into the hemlines of dresses to avoid them being blown up by a strong gust of British wind.
"In October 2018, Kate wore an Alexander McQueen pink structured gown to Princess Eugenie's wedding
