When Meghan Markle Showcased the Perfect Duchess Slant
Listen up, folks! The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, really knows how to take notes. At a recent Buckingham Palace soirée on June 26, she stepped out alongside her husband, Prince Harry, and Queen Elizabeth II. And guess what? She flawlessly executed the "Duchess Slant," a signature move that’s become synonymous with royal poise. This wasn’t her first time showing it off—she'd already demonstrated it during her first solo outing with Queen Elizabeth on June 14.
Here’s the kicker: When Meghan initially sat down, she noticed her legs weren’t quite aligned properly for the classic "slant." In true Meghan fashion, she quickly corrected herself without even realizing she was being filmed. That's dedication, my friends. Check out the video below!

What Exactly Is the Duchess Slant?
Let me break it down for you. The "Duchess Slant" is a sitting technique where a woman keeps her knees and ankles tightly pressed together while angling her legs to one side. It’s all about maintaining elegance and poise, especially during extended periods of sitting. According to People magazine, this move was popularized by Beaumont Etiquette and named after none other than Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, who frequently adopts this pose in public appearances. Interestingly, Princess Diana, Meghan and Kate’s beloved mother-in-law, was also a fan of this iconic posture.

Why the Duchess Slant Works So Well
Myka Meier, a renowned royal etiquette expert and founder of Beaumont Etiquette, explains why this move is so effective. "The Duchess slant is ideal for situations where a lady needs to remain seated for long durations while maintaining composure," she says. "It’s also perfect for photo opportunities because the slanted knees create a zig-zag effect, ensuring that only the sides of the legs are visible, preserving modesty while enhancing elegance."
She adds, "This position elongates the legs, making it one of the most flattering ways to sit. To achieve the look, you must keep your shoulders squared and maintain impeccable posture. With knees and ankles pressed together, angle your legs slightly to one side. Place your hands neatly folded in your lap for that polished finish."
