Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got engaged last November I have been interested in how Meghan will have to go through what is referred to as ‘Princess Boot Camp’ to get her accustomed to her new Royal lifestyle. The Royal Wedding is taking place on May 19th. In this part 1 of a two-part post, I will talk about deportment.

Moving gracefully is an art. The Duchess of Cambridge Kate Midleton does it all the time. She walks, stands, sits, gets in and out of cars with perfection. To learn more about this I spoke to model and former Miss Cork, Mairéad O’Farrell. Mairéad models with The Lockdown Models Agency so obviously she was the perfect person to ask about deportment.  Mairéad gave me some tips about walking, standing and sitting properly and some beauty tips as well. For style icons, she likes actress Blake Lively and likes Zara clothing. Mairéad put me through the paces in my kitchen which we pretended was a Catwalk!! It was great fun and we had lots of giggles practicing and she said to always put your shoulders back and give a big smile!!!
