ANOTHER day, another winning outfit in the style diary of Meghan Markle.

But the newest member of the Royal Family has set fashion tongues wagging after appearing at her first Trooping the Colour...  and it's all because of her rule-breaking dress.

Arriving at the annual Royal event in a horse-drawn carriage with her husband Prince Harry, Meghan looked every inch the modern-day Princess in a bespoke creation by Venezuelan designer Carolina Herrera.

However, the Suits-actress-turned-princess has already overlooked one Royal fashion rule: exposing her shoulders.

Fashion tradition usually dictates that Royal women do not wear off-shoulder or other more revealing styles.

But whatever the protocol, Meghan clearly still controls her own wardrobe and opted for a dress reminiscent of the Givenchy design she wore on her big day.

Matching the pink-toned off-shoulder dress with an elegant Philip Treacy fascinator, the Duchess of Sussex appeared suitably sophisticated for the Royal occasion.

Making her first appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony, Meghan looked effortless trendy as she showed off the dress' smart jacket detail that left her shoulders on show.

Fashion rules are made to broken, after all.
