Prince Harry slated for wearing ‘ready-made’ bow tie to The Lion King premiere with Meghan

Etiquette expert William Hanson tweeted a close-up photo of the Duke of Sussex at Sunday’s event in London’s Leicester Square donning what looked like a pre-tied bow tie. Mr Hanson said: “Do we agree that Prince Harry’s bowtie this evening at #lionkingpremiere looks a bit ‘ready made’?” And his criticism of the new dad’s choice of outfit did not stop there – Harry, 34, was also accused of snubbing protocol and failing to wear a formal dress shirt. 

The Duke wore a plain buttoned-up shirt in place of a dress shirt, which features a pleated front and pointed collar and is traditionally worn for black tie events. 

London-based Mr Hanson wrote on Twitter: “Golly. And as a close friend has just pointed out – correctly – that isn’t even an dress shirt!” 

Meghan, 37, who is on maternity leave, dazzled in a black Jason WU midi dress with full length sheer sleeves. 

The Duchess of Sussex walked hand-in-hand with her husband along the yellow carpet, lined with fans, into the Odeon cinema. 

After watching the premiere of a remake of the 1990s classic, the couple met the cast of The Lion King. 

Harry and his American wife came face to face with Beyonce and Jay-Z, who congratulated the royal couple on the birth of Archie Harrison, whom they welcomed on May 6. 

Beyonce, 37, who voiced Nahla in the film, said: “The baby, so beautiful. We love you guys.” 

Jay-Z, 49, added: “Congratulation on the birth of your baby.” 

Pharrell Williams was also among the Hollywood A-listers in attendance. 

The 46-year-old who collaborated on the music paired his bow tie, shirt and jacket with black knee-length shorts. 

When Harry was introduced to the singer, he joked: “I love the look”. 

But Mr Hanson was less than impressed with Pharrell’s summery take on the traditional attire, saying his outfit made Harry look like the 19th century fashion icon Beau Brummell. 

He said: “But I’ll give Prince Harry this, compared with what Pharrell Williams is wearing this evening, Harry is basically Beau Brummell.”
