**Duchess of Cambridge Reveals Clever Hack to Prevent High Heels from Slipping**
The Duchess of Cambridge, known for her impeccable style, has a simple yet ingenious trick up her sleeve to ensure her high heels stay put while wearing her signature tights.
Kate Middleton, 36, reportedly opts for John Lewis non-slip tights, equipped with ribbed grips that effectively keep her shoes secure.
Priced at a modest £5 or $7, these tights are available in classic shades of black, nude, and tan.
During a royal visit to Sainte-Justine University Hospital in Montreal back in 2011, Kate was spotted sporting these innovative tights, with a close-up image revealing the discreet silicone grip peeking out from her heels.
Having been a loyal customer at the John Lewis department store Peter Jones for years, it is highly likely that the Duchess came across these non-slip tights during her shopping ventures.
While there was speculation in the past about Kate possibly wearing Woolford's sheer non-slip tights, the brand no longer produces the sheer 15 tights with built-in grip.
n-de hosiery has become a staple in Kate's wardrobe, believed to be in line with the Queen's preference for royal women to wear stockings at public engagements.
Royal expert Victoria Arbiter noted that the Queen's expectation for n-de stockings is one of the few steadfast rules within the royal dress code.
In contrast, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made a bold statement by forgoing tights for her engagement announcement with Prince Harry.
However, she did adhere to the tradition by wearing n-de tights at a garden party at Buckingham Palace following her wedding.
Despite this, critics pointed out that the hosiery did not match Meghan's skin tone, highlighting the need for more inclusive options for women with darker complexions.
With Meghan embracing the n-de tights trend, it is anticipated that Kate might share her clever hosiery tips with her sister-in-law in the future.
