Let's talk about gloves—yes, gloves. When Meghan Markle made her appearance at her nephew Prince Louis' royal christening on Monday, July 9, the conversation wasn't about her sleek ponytail or her perfectly coordinated green outfit. Instead, it was all about those gloves. Now, hear me out, because this is where it gets interesting.

Why the Gloves?

Here’s the thing: Meghan, at 36 years old, wasn’t even spotted actually wearing those olive green leather gloves. But let’s be honest, people were scratching their heads wondering why she chose to include them in her ensemble in the first place. It’s not like she was cold, folks. London was sweltering at a balmy 82 degrees Fahrenheit that day.

Now, I’ll admit, those gloves matched her outfit perfectly—head-to-toe green, from her hat to her belt, pumps, and clutch. But seriously, leather gloves in 82-degree weather? Even if it was a bit cooler inside the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace, it still seems like an odd choice, doesn’t it?

Style or Tradition?

While royal fans were scratching their heads, some argued that Meghan’s gloves might have been purely a style statement. After all, Queen Elizabeth rarely appears without gloves, even in the heat. And let’s not forget, she usually rocks the classic white pair.

According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the Queen's gloves are more than just a fashion statement. "The Queen wears a hat and carries a handbag on engagements, and gloves are essential to complement them," he told the Daily Express. "They are part of her style, the ‘look’ we have associated her with, which is formal."
