The British royal family has a history of dressing down for off-duty occasions, with notable examples from Princess Diana to Queen Elizabeth. In September 2017, Meghan Markle wore a pair of distressed jeans to the Toronto Invictus Games, marking one of her and Prince Harry's first public outings together. Kate Middleton also left her ballgown at home during a visit to the Fakenham Garden Centre in Norfolk in June 2020. Meanwhile, Prince Harry attended a rehearsal by the Joyful Noise choir, a group of people living with HIV, and encouraged members to share their stories to break the stigma surrounding AIDS. Queen Elizabeth also wore casual clothes while waiting for an audience with Liz Truss, who would soon become the prime minister of the UK.
