Royal body inks -the surprise

When one thinks of tattoos, royal family members never come to mind. But yes, they too have little body inks here and there. This is not a recent happening.

The first royal household member to get a little body art was King Edward VII. He had the image of a Jerusalem Cross inked on his arm in 1862 when he visited the Holy Land.

Later, in 1882, King George V also got a tattoo during his trip to Japan. And this trend has continued albeit in a hidden manner and to a smaller extent.

The new royal family members with henna tattoos

It girl, Lady Amelia Windsor is the granddaughter of the Duke of Kent, Prince Edward who is the cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. She has tattoos on her ribcage, left hand, and wrists.

There is a tiger tattoo on her left shoulder blade. While she attended the Serpentine Summer Party, she showed off her rib cage tattoo.

Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla also got a tattoo in 2011 on her hand when she visited a henna tattoo artist in Zanzibar with her husband, Prince Charles. The couple was in Tanzania for 4 days to highlight the importance of the environmental issues of Africa.

The newer generation of royal members and their tattoos

Meghan Markle also got a henna tattoo during her visit with Prince Harry to Morocco. Teenager Samira put it on Meghan’s right hand.

Samira who had lived in Asni for 6 years said:

“It is a traditional practice for pregnant women in Moroccan. It is to bring luck for the baby.”

After her hand artwork was finished, Meghan proudly showed it to Prince Harry and said:

“That’s really lovely,”

She continued:

“It will dry for a little bit and then we can walk through.”

How could the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton be left behind? She had semi-permanent inking. It was in February 2018 when Kate was seven months pregnant with her third baby, Louis.

She got a small henna tattoo when she was at the opening of a new artist’s residence in Sunderland. But just like the other new royal members, it was also temporary and faded away within 1-2 weeks.

Like the royal family members of England, Prince Frederik of Denmark, Princess Sofia of Sweden, Princess Stephanie of Monaco, and her daughter Pauline Ducruet, and Monaco’s Charlotte Casiraghi also have some permanent inks on their bodies. Some are hidden deep inside while others are visible easily.
