Hey hi hello! Here's an opinion: dresses with pockets are the greatest invention of all time. Meghan Markle obviously knows that, because she wears them quite frequently. Just yesterday on her royal tour, she wore a white tuxedo dress and conveniently had a place to put her hands during the entire event.

Now, a royal etiquette expert spoke with the Daily Mail and basically scolded Meghan for doing this in the photos because it was entirely too casual and called it "a step too far," whatever the heck that means. But it actually turns out that Meghan does the hands-in-pockets thing pretty often.

Here she is at two separate appearances in July doing it.

While apparently some thing this is, like, rude or something and a breach of royal etiquette, body language expert Judi James spoke to OK! about why she might actually do this.

“The classic reason for this very common gesture is that it signals a subliminal desire to hide, especially when the hands are shoved deep into the pockets," she said.

She noted that Prince Charles, Prince Harry and even Prince George do this, but Meghan's the only royal *woman* to do it on the reg.

“It also helps get over the common problem most of us suffer from, which is not really knowing what to do with our hands when we know people are looking at us,” she said.

But she also said Meghan could just like pockets, which makes her relatable as always. Pockets FTW!
