Say Yes to Shapewear
Interestingly, members of the royal family aren’t allowed to show their undergarments. And yes, that means bra straps too. To keep undies undercover, the royals have a few fashion hacks. Some royal outfits have bras sewn into the garment itself. On other occasions, royal ladies wear nude strapless shapewear.
