While windy days are a blessing in the humidity we seem to be settling back into, it's a bit of a hassle if you're wearing a dress or a skirt. Picture this — you're walking in for a meeting and are taken by surprise by a gush of wind that kind of flares up your skirt in your face. Yes, it would make for a Marilyn Monroe moment, but only a few can manage to look graceful on such occasions.

Even Kate Middleton and Queen Elizabeth II get the practicality of being wind-swept — as British royalties, they can't afford such slip-ups. So, the two have their own tricks to avoid finding themselves such situations. The nonagenarian queen, for example, is said to use pea-sized lead weights on the hem of her skirt. She even puts them in her coats — one on each side of the split — to even it up. This essentially blocks the wind by weighing the skirt down. The Duchess of Cambridge, on the other hand, has devised her own tactic of wearing static-creating bodysuits underneath to help the skirt cling to them — a secret that Meghan Markle is privy to now.
