Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle and hubby Prince Harry, recently attended their first ever state dinner overseas in Fiji. At the event, the Duchess sported a Fiji blue cape dress which was appropriate for the occasion and she paired it with glamorous show-stopping earrings and velvet ink blue pumps, which reminded us of Elsa from Frozen. What many people found awkward, was that she didn't wear her tiara with the dress for the occasion. And Prince Harry's father, Prince Charles, played a huge role in this decision, according to sources. 

Apparently, wearing a tiara for the occasion would have been a major faux pas, which Prince Charles saved Meghan Markle from! For private evening affairs, married royals do wear tiaras but for this occasion, Charles told Markle that a tiara for this occasion sporting a tiara could be seen as "extravagant" or "reminiscent of a bygone era." Apparently, lavish royal headpieces need to be avoided in certain areas of the Commonwealth. Markle was initially supposed to wear the tiara but decided to go with her father-in-law's advice instead

While Markle could have done as she pleased, she finally went with Prince Charles' advice. A source close to the family told Daily Mail, "Meghan did not understand all of this because she was new to the role and so Prince Charles told her that it would not be appropriate. It was very kindly done." So instead of the large tiara, Markle opted for chandelier diamond earrings from the Royal Collection instead, and still looked stunning at the event!
