Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the British royal family have experienced their fair share of mishaps during royal tours over the years. From fashion faux pas to more serious incidents, no one is immune from a royal slip-up.
During a tour of Australasia in 2018, Meghan Markle was seen with the return label still attached to her dress as she arrived in Tonga with Prince Harry. Queen Elizabeth II survived an assassination attempt in New Zealand in 1981 when a 17-year-old shot at her during a science fair visit. Luckily, the bullet missed her.
Princess Diana fell up the stairs of a plane in Pakistan in 1991, and Kate Middleton had a wardrobe malfunction when her coat dress got caught in the wind during a visit to New Zealand in 2014. Even Princess Anne faced a mishap when she slipped in Guernsey in 2007, but her stoic nature shined through as she insisted on getting up on her own.
While royal tours are usually picture-perfect, these incidents serve as a reminder that members of the royal family are also human and can face obstacles just like anyone else. Despite the challenges, their grace and resilience in the face of adversity continue to endear them to fans around the world.
