What it takes to plan a royal tour - from dress codes to costs
The itinerary is put together based on whatever the host Government would like to draw attention to, while also incorporating the interests of the Royal Family members who are visiting. Once the itinerary is agreed upon, members of the royal party’s team travel out to the destination to decide travel time, dress codes, and camera angles. A list will be compiled of all the people the royals will meet, as well as cultural requirements they should be aware of.
Their wardrobe is of the utmost importance. Adhering to dress codes means that for some countries hemlines, sleeve-lengths, and necklines need to be considered.
Men may need tie pins, medals, and handkerchiefs. Women often pay respect to the country with a national flower or symbol.
Symbolic colours are chosen, as well as significant jewellery to pay respect to the guest country.
Last-minute briefings are given on the plane, and the royals will change out of travelling clothes into their outfits at the last minute to avoid creases.
