ROYAL RULE BROKEN BY MEGHAN MARKLE AT HER ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT

By

Prince Harry's Engagement To Meghan Markle Barely breaking the rules: Meghan Markle didn't wear pantyhose to her engagement announcement with Prince Harry on Monday. She hasn't even married her prince yet and Meghan Markle has already committed her first royal fashion faux pas — she went bare-legged in public!

The 36-year-old "Suits" star showed up sans pantyhose to her engagement announcement with Prince Harry on Monday, and apparently that's a something of a royal no-no, reports The Cut.

While the rule isn't exactly set in stone in some strict royal-family style book, enthusiasts of the monarchy note that Queen Elizabeth herself has worn pantyhose in public for the past, oh, 91 years.

Kate Middleton, too, famously wears pantyhose. In fact, many credit the stylish duchess, who usually wears glossy, sheer tights in public, with bringing hose back in vogue for younger Brits.

According to a WWD 2012 report, after Kate and William's royal wedding in 2011, sales of sheer tights went up by 46 percent at the U.S. luxury department store Selfridges and 500 percent at the British supermarket chain Asda.

The trend even made its way across the pond to the U.S., where fashionistas know it's still going strong today.

Of course, Markle —who ran her own lifestyle blog called The Tig until this past April — did follow another unspoken royal fashion tradition on Monday: Her nails were painted in a natural-looking color just like the Queen Mum, who's reportedly worn a pale pink shade called "Ballet Slippers" by Essie for nearly three decades.

Will Markle continue to go boldly bare-legged? We'll have to wait and see.

But fast forward twenty years, and Michael had changed his name to Younnes, traded his Christian faith for Islam, and the sleepy Belgian suburb he’d grown up in for the front lines of ISIS’ war in Syria. Now, back in Belgium, he still expresses open support for the group’s warped ideology and says he wishes he could return to the group’s self-proclaimed Islamic State. “I regret coming back,” he told me. “I want to live under the caliphate.” Michael 'Younnes' Delefortrie Despite his shocking words, the most striking thing about the 28-year-old is how utterly unremarkable he appears. The first time we meet, in a café in the port city of Antwerp, he wears a hooded sweat

Rob Kardashian is deeply remorseful for slut shaming Blac Chyna, at least that's what he told his family. Sources close to the situation tell TMZ. Rob's spoken with all of his sisters and his mom, telling them he has no excuse for posting nude pics of Chyna and her medical information on social media. He said he regrets he didn't deal with the Chyna drama privately and said it wouldn't happen again. One thing Rob did not apologize for, he flatly denied he ever physically abused Chyna. Rob also acknowledged all of the Kardashian women warned him Chyna was "bad news" and he should stay away- advice he ignored. He told them they were right. He also said he stayed with Chyna longer than he should have because he grew up in a 2-parent household and wanted the same for Dream. TMZ is told Rob and family have stayed quiet through the ordeal in an effort to stop the back and forth in the best interest of his daughter. The women accepted his apology and are hopeful he&#
