The Duchess of Sussex looked radiant at the British Fashion Awards - but there's one element of her outfit that is sure to raise royal eyebrows.

Meghan Markle might be pregnant but she's not playing it safe - can you tell what royal fashion rule she broke last night?

The 37-year-old, who is expecting her first child with husband Prince Harry, made a surprise appearance at the British Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall last night.

She was called to present the coveted British Designer of the Year award to Clare Waight Keller, the brains behind her stunning wedding dress.

But just because she's got a title, doesn't mean Meghan is toeing the party line.

American-born Meghan flouted tradition to wear BLACK nail varnish - a massive no no in the Queen's books.

HRH insists that all working royals wear nude coloured polish to official events... but it seems like Meg thought vampy nails would go better with her one-shouldered velvet gown.

It's not the first time Meghan has flexed her own sartorial style.

She was reported to have had locked horns with Prince Harry after he said she wasn't allowed to wear a tuxedo to an event.

And in June she was slammed for exposing her shoulders at the Trooping of the Colour.
