On Monday evening, the Duchess of Sussex pulled off a truly surprising cameo at the British Fashion Awards, with even her go-to designer, Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, who famously created her wedding dress, being in the dark about the newly-minted royal’s arrival.
After presenting the award, 37-year-old Meghan posed for a photo booth boomerang by cradling her royal baby bump alongside Keller and co-presenter, English actress Rosamund Pike.
Although the photo booth posing might be an indispensable part of Hollywood’s social engagements, this may appear to not be the case when it comes to royal events, which are conducted according to strict rules that by far don’t favour royals’ social media presence.
It would otherwise be hard to explain the fact that the boomerang, posted to the British Fashion Council’s Instagram, was pulled from there as soon as it started to make rounds on the internet.
The post, however, still remains on the personal account of Yvan Fabing, the event photographer, who captioned the now viral picture as follows: “Late night tales at the #fashionawards”.

Meanwhile, a photo of Meghan sizzling on stage posted by her good friend and stylist Jessica Mulroney, along with a couple of sweet words, was also deleted, presumably in keeping with royal protocol, multiple media reported, citing Meghan, an avid social media user, also deleting both her Twitter and Instagram accounts in the run-up to her and Harry’s big day.
In a parallel move, rumours popped up of Meghan’s look in a black velvet gown, reportedly being not much to the Queen’s liking. Or perhaps, the Queen is no big fan of boomerangs.
