Zara Tindall’s taste in fashion has been scrutinised over the years, as one style expert pointed out how her look had matured since she was in her twenties.
Susie Nelson from Modes and More told Express.co.uk: “Zara Tindall is in an unusual position, she isn’t a working royal and doesn’t have a title, but the Royal Family are her family – at least on one side.
“Regarding hats, the royal protocol states that women must wear hats to all official occasions, and the headpiece must have a solid base of four or more inches.”
She continued: “There doesn’t seem to be a royal limit on how large a hat can be. Some of Zara’s hats may have been seen as a little large and loud, and she has enjoyed having a snappy and youthful dress sense.
“She has been quoted as stating that she has the same common-sense attitude to clothes as her mother and she needs to be presentable, clean and tidy.
“Some of Zara’s skirts would break royal protocol by being too far above her knee. In addition, she has also worn a black mini-skirt to a wedding in 1998.”
