So Exposed! 18 Times Kate Middleton Defied The British Royal Family’s No-Nudity Rules
Kate Middleton has been all over the headlines lately—royal baby news and all—and let’s admit it, people are quite obsessed with the Duchess of Cambridge. Besides being a strong leader, an educated woman, and an influential public figure, Middleton radiates confidence, charisma, and poise through her classy attitude and heavenly figure. Middleton may not possess that slightly rebellious attitude (by royal standards) of the newest royal family member Meghan Markle, but Middleton is nevertheless no stranger to dazzling crowds with her revealing outfits (again, by royal standards) and taking fashion risks that often result in nearly naked wardrobe malfunction disasters.

An unparalleled pic of the Duchess of Cambridge wearing what could possibly be her sexiest outfit to date. That see-through dress became so iconic that it even went up for auction for 78,000 pounds (almost $110,000). Not too shabby!
A rare photo of Middleton out partying in her pre-royal days. The paparazzi did their best to catch an intriguing crotch shot. Well, here's how it went—you be the judge.
Kate Middleton used to be totally OK with wearing flesh-flashing tops, which exposed an un-royalish amount of skin in the chest area, neck, arms (and even tummy!). An outfit like this surely would be frowned upon by Queen Elizabeth.
Royal trouble! Middleton suffered a major wardrobe malfunction when the strong wind blew her (seemingly long) yellow dress and gave onlookers a flash of her bottom.
Middleton put her assets on full display when she wore this cleavage-baring red dress. The Duchess of Cambridge had to make sure her dress stays down to prevent a yet another wind-sweeping-dress-up disaster.
The closest to naked the Duchess of Cambridge has ever been… wait, you know what? Scratch that. There’s actually a photo of Kate Middleton topless floating around online, but this one is clearly the runner-up.
Also…what is she taking a picture of?
Forget yoga pants! Who would have thought that Middleton looks this good in sportswear? The Duchess might have just revealed the secret behind her fabulous beach body: rowing!
Dress to impress indeed! Middleton takes fashion risks every now and then, but this time she totally nailed it! The Duchess of Cambridge—much to Queen Elizabeth’s disapproval, apparently—went go bra-less on the red carpet for the world premiere of Spectre. Daniel Craig was presenting his new James Bond movie that night, but all eyes were on Middleton—no doubt about that! Also, putting her lower back on full display like that… what a royal rebel!

Wait a second…this looks familiar! A yet another shot of Kate Middleton’s bare lower back, and a super rare glimpse of the royal’s cleavage.
It was a fun game not only for the Duchess of Cambridge, but also for the paparazzi who kept snapping away from the craziest angles just to see Kate Middleton's bare bod as she was jumping to reach for the ball. Well, nice try!
While it may not be Middleton’s most risqué outfit, she clearly defied the unwritten rule of the royal family to expose less cleavage and wear longer dresses/skirts. In this snap, the royal is showing a bit more skin than usual, and even risked a serious Sharon Stone moment (remember Basic Instinct?).
There’s no denial that Middleton looks exactly like the modern day princess she is whenever she wears a long gown, but squatting down in a dress like this is always a big mistake. She should have known better!
"Hey, my eyes are up here!" You can practically hear Kate Middleton say that, as a bit too much bare skin (as for a royal) in her chest area attracts an inordinate amount of attention.
In her pre-royal days, Middleton wore lots of daring outfits when she was out partying. This time, however, she did her best to prevent crotch shots from being all over the news the next morning.
Kate Middleton unintentionally turned her seemingly modest dress into what would go on to become one of her most revealing dresses of all time. Blame red-carpet lights and camera flashes! (and also the fact that you probably shouldn’t wear a white bra underneath a black dress? Just sayin’!).
The wind strikes again! What is it with Kate Middleton and the wind? Clearly, the wind has a crush on Kate’s legs (not that we can blame it, really!).
The Duchess put her thighs on full display when she decided to bowl in front of thousands of people. She really does know how to dazzle crowds!
Kate Middleton stepped out in a ravishing red dress and walked down the stairs like a queen (er… duchess!), but she had no idea that this would become her infamous Marilyn Monroe moment! Yep, the wind is actually in love with Middleton (aren’t we all?).
