Shop Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Queen Elizabeth's Favorite Nail Polishes

There's a longstanding rumor that the British royal women must maintain neutral nails. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, once even caused a flurry of scandal for simply wearing dark nail polish on her toes. However, this assumption is false. "There are no books, no rules, about what color nail polish a royal can wear," Marlene Koenig, a historian and writer of the blog, "Royal Musings" told Town & Country.

But, just because there is no rulebook, does not mean the royal women do not have preferences. Yes, they all tend to wear light pinks and neutral tones on their nails—especially Queen Elizabeth, likely because these options are just more versatile. Another commonality: all of the royal women tend to choose affordable nail polish. While much of royal life is unattainable for the average person, anyone can get royally-approved nails at home. Below, find the royal family's all-time favorite nail polishes.
